As the cool autumn breeze sets in, households everywhere are rushing to revamp their wardrobes in preparation for another fall season. This is the moment when thick materials, snug silhouettes, and warming accessories reclaim their spotlight in the fashion realm. However, alongside the familiar Fall-Winter aesthetics, this season’s designers bring forth fresh and captivating trends. From the unexpected fusion of lingerie with Fall-Winter attire to metallic finishes and hourglass silhouettes, these innovations promise to redefine your seasonal wardrobe.
Unexpected rendezvous: Lingerie meets fall Traditionally associated with the scorching heat of summer, sheer lingerie has emerged as a surprising addition to Fall-Winter runways this year. Embracing the newfound freedom in fashion, designers have showcased an array of experimental lingerie-inspired pieces. From floor-length lace dresses to form-fitting stockings and wrapped chiffon gowns, lingerie in Fall-Winter collections leaves a lasting impression with its diverse styles, fabrics, and colors. With collections like Missoni, Ferragamo, and Dolce & Gabbana fully embracing translucent designs, it’s evident that lingerie can serve as a powerful tool to conquer the fall season. Pairing sheer tights with sophisticated ensembles from Miu Miu or Ferragamo ensures you lead the trend of the “pantless” look. Additionally, feminine transparent dresses from Simone Rocha and Molly Goddard offer a refreshing take on approaching autumn fashion. Whether it’s a billowy chiffon dress or a lace midi skirt paired with an oversized tee and layered with blazers or trench coats, lingerie-inspired outfits are sure to elevate your fall ensemble. For layering enthusiasts, incorporating sheer lingerie pieces is an exciting proposition not to be missed.
Shine bright like a diamond with metallic effects and sequins With the arrival of fall comes the anticipation of festive celebrations, making shimmering metallic fabrics a staple in every fashion aficionado’s closet. Glitzy evening gowns adorned with dazzling sequins and metallic finishes took center stage at the Fall-Winter 2023 runways of Rick Owens, Bode, and Blumarine, igniting the desire to illuminate the gloomy autumn days without waiting for the holiday season. A feathered coat embellished with millions of glittering threads from Gucci is all you need to become the queen of any party. In addition to bedazzled dresses, short skirts, boots, handbags, daring underwear from Prada, or shimmering gold blazers are all shining stars that your minimalist fall wardrobe craves. However, for those inclined towards subtlety, incorporating sequins, rhinestones, or metallic finishes into their outfits as supporting elements will allow them to shine modestly amidst the crowd.
Subtle yet curve-flaunting If fall fashion has long been associated with loose, oversized silhouettes that create a boxy appearance, this year’s Fall-Winter season brings a change in perspective. Indeed, the figure-hugging hourglass silhouette with its cinched waist and voluptuous hips has dominated the runways. Thanks to the resurgence of corsetry, a silhouette closely linked to the feminine form of yesteryears and previously shunned by the fashion industry, it has now been revitalized with modern twists and experiments. We see body-hugging knit dresses, maxi lengths adorned with oversized belts by Max Mara, Alaïa, and Schiaparelli creating emphasis on the waist. On the other hand, designers have found ways to balance broad shoulders with delicate waist cinchers or smoothly contoured belts, as seen in Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and Versace collections. With these feminine touches, even office suits, or officecore, become intriguing and softer than ever before. They quickly gain favor among fashion enthusiasts to shine throughout the season.
Exploring new floral landscapes While tea roses typically bloom in spring, Virginie Viard didn’t hesitate to place a giant, snow-white flower at the center of the runway, as seen in Chanel’s Fall-Winter 2023 collection. Like how this season refuses to shy away from the fresh vibrancy of spring gardens or bold floral prints. Therefore, the Fall-Winter runways have witnessed a positive influx of leafy floral patterns. However, influenced by the neutral, subdued palette of cold-weather wardrobes, the “floral gardens” in the bleak days of fall cannot remain vibrant. The muted color schemes of floral patterns in Fall-Winter reflect a much different sensation—gentle and soothing, sometimes even with a hint of gothic darkness. Soft dusty hues at Burberry, floral prints paired with black lace at Paco Rabanne, and deep red tones reminiscent of Snow White’s poisoned apple at Alexander McQueen have redefined the essence of floral prints for the autumn season.
