Inside Out

Autumn is quickly approaching, but good news— that doesn’t mean you need to put the florals away! For the fall season, designers embraced the appliqué, which is traditionally seen as a spring print, in full. Printed blooms were in abundance this runway season from designers like Loewe, Richard Quinn, Erdem and Loro Piana (to name a few). Focusing on elegant varieties, these collections show us that wallpaper-inspired prints, whether it be head-toe or accented in an accessory, are just as chic outside the home as they are inside.

La Vie Bohème

Thanks to Chemena Kamali’s debut collection for Chloé, the free-spirited vibes of the 70s and boho early aughts are making a major comeback for the fall season. Expect a resurgence of flowing dresses and billowy tops crafted from chiffon, adorned with ruffles and imbued with a carefree femininity that we are all going to rally behind. Whether you’re revisiting this trend or discovering it for the first time, remember that it’s not just about the clothing—accessories play a crucial role, too. From bold statement necklaces and stacked bracelets to oversized sunglasses and platform wedges, these romantic looks truly come alive with a touch of (or a lot of) hardware.

Bundled, Wrapped, & Ready

Who knew that your security blanket would be the next big fashion trend for the fall 2024 season? In the coming months, it’s time to get cozy, curb your anxiety and swaddle yourself up in the softest of cashmeres. From scarf-coats, to ponchos, capes and more from designers like Proenza Schouler and Brandon Maxwell, it’s safe to say that bundling up has never looked or felt so good. As the temperatures start to cool (it’s sadly a wrap on summer), we encourage you to warm up to this trend and allow it to sweep through your fall wardrobe rotation.

Frontier Flair

This fall, its all about the frontier! For the upcoming season, Ralph Lauren focused on its heritage of western wear, and evoked a spirit that was ranch-ready through the incorporation of fun fringe and supple suede, while Pharrell Williams took the French brand, Louis Vuitton, on a very American journey for his latest menswear collection. The T&C fashion department and I are excited to embrace this trend—get ready to see us rocking our suede fringe jackets and join us in celebrating this rodeo renaissance!

Brace Yourself

Embrace the drama of striking necklines—outwear is no exception, either. Elevate the classic trench coat with a modern twist: the high-neck silhouette. Shaped like a funnel or brace, this design merges functionality with fashion, offering protection against the cold while adding a dose of edge to your look. While new high-neck coats are available, don't overlook your tried and true trench coats. Their versatile design often allows you to adjust and enhance the collar so that you can achieve the look and make it a more contemporary style.

Age of Elegance

Move over, Brat Summer—a new era of elegance and sophistication, with brands like Prada and Miu Miu, is leading the way. This season, these fashion powerhouses are revisiting the refined charm of the 1950s, showcasing collections that blend timeless grace with a modern twist. Expect to see a resurgence of midi-length skirts (in both the full and pencil variety) that exude classic femininity, alongside vintage-inspired slip dresses that evoke a sense of nostalgic glamour. Contemporary pearls will add a touch of understated luxury, while kitten heels and elegant gloves will enhance the overall sophistication of the look. In addition, brands like Carven and Chanel are conjuring the image of a modern-day swan—graceful, poised, and effortlessly stylish—marking a shift towards a more refined and elegant aesthetic.

Whether you’re actually retreating to a picturesque English countryside manor or simply dreaming of it, this fall, we invite you to dress the part. Embrace the trend with utilitarian hunting jackets and a rich tapestry of textures—think plaids, herringbone, argyles, and tweeds. Mixing and matching these elements will add depth to your look, achieving an opulent yet understated style. Explore British heritage brands like Vivienne Westwood and Burberry, or get an American perspective on the trend with Altuzarra. Either way, you'll embody the refined, relaxed elegance of a modern royal—exactly the vibe we're all aiming for.
