Hot girl summer is evolving into pop star fall.
While it’s officially fall, we’re still slowly saying our goodbyes to summer weather here. If your wardrobe is due for a fall refresh, consider these timeless, spirited pieces that encourage dressing up, going out, and feeling joy that will also make the fall transition a little less painful. And for us shopaholics, there is no greater joy than walking into our favorite stores and feeling the rush of a new collection on the shelves. If that’s not reason enough to invest in a happy new wardrobe, what is?!
Below, Lincoln Center’s guide to fall 2021 fashion trends.
Mad for Plaid (skirts)
Pair plaid skirts with cable knit cardigans, fitted blazers, and turtlenecks for a sophisticated nod to back-to-school.
Collar Crush
The perfect transitional piece, combining the relaxed ease and sporty-chic feel of a classic polo shirt with the cozy warmth of a knit. Wear tucked into your favorite high-waist jeans, with ankle boots and an oversized blazer. When it gets colder, there’s no need to swap it out for a chunkier knit; simply wear over a thermal turtleneck for an extra layer that isn’t too thick under your winter coat.
Carry-it-All Handbags
This fall, more is more and it applies to bags as well. It’s time to invest in bags that fit more than just a credit card and lip gloss.

Shacket
An extra cozy, extra soft, fleecy or wool shacket isn’t just a super stylish, seasonally appropriate alternative to your summer denim jacket. It’s also all you’ll want to pull on for early morning walks and chilly commutes. A shot of color or fun pattern takes this simple staple (and your entire outfit) to the next level.
Leopard
Yes! Leopard print is back on trend this fall/winter! Want to be on trend but don’t like leopard print too much? Accessorize with these Tom Ford sunglasses from Great Spectacles.
Statement Chains
A super-long chain necklace will add an extra pop to your fall outfit.
Puffed Up
Keep snug as a bug in oversized puffer coats that can be worn on the mountain, but look just as slick on city streets.
