Top Ten Fall Picks for 2026

Fall fashion gives us an abundance of new materials, shapes, colors and finishing details to infuse just enough newness into our core wardrobe to keep up with the change of seasons and the fast-paced world we live in. After all, fashion moves right along with us!
 
Here are our picks for the season ahead. We hope a few resonate with you and make it easy to upgrade your closet in a way that works with your innate style and psyche, without the need to completely rebuild. Enjoy!

#1 Brown Denim
Brown is the new black for sure, and denim is a great way to add a dose of this rich base neutral to many of your fall looks. There is a shade for everyone, from bark to espresso to mocha to caramel. Have some fun getting your brown on!

#2 Bomber Jackets
Having a few fall blazers you love to layer is always in style. Add a fresh bomber to your closet and watch your style soar!

#3 Bubble Hems
Skirts and dresses continue to be a huge trend straight through fall. A fun hem keeps things interesting.

#4 Fall Stripes
They mix well with plaid and add interest to all sorts of outfits. Button-down shirts, sweaters, dresses, pants and skirts all wear this trend well.

#5 Chevron Prints
Looking for a fresh print to weave in? Chevron shows up big, head-to-toe, or as an accent. Your choice!

#6 Rugby Shirts
A great way to get your game day on without looking like a coed. Their signature white collars brighten your face. Their bold color combinations and cuts make them fun and new.

#7 Ballet Sneakers
Mesh ballet flats give way to ballet sneakers as temperatures shift. A nice hybrid of style and function.

#8 Sweater Sets
We’re not talking about cardigans with matching shells from yesteryear. Instead, think cozy knit sweatshirts with matching wide-leg knit pants or a skirt. They elevate quickly when paired with boots, coats, scarves and other key accessories.

#9 Big, Bold Statement Jewelry
Layered necklaces, chunky pearls, big cuffs, charms for bags, bracelets and brooches. Plus statement earrings galore. Experiment and land on your own look. The quiet-luxury look of a few seasons ago has been upleveled!

#10 Quintessential Tote
Finally, there is something about fall that requires a bit more structure to our daily routines. A hard-working tote helps you feel empowered to get your days done in style. Isn’t that what fashion is really about?!
