From unusual color palettes to bold retro hairstyles, this fall is sure to be interesting. I’m so excited to shake off summer and welcome autumn!

The only downside to fall is packing away my favorite summer clothes. Fortunately, this year, some summer styles are sticking around. Bright pink hues, mini skirts, and sheer dresses are some of the top fall fashion and beauty trends.

Getting ready for sweater weather and wondering what’s on the horizon? Here are some of my favorite styles for this fall.

  1. Bold Multi-Colored Nailsx

Bold multi-colored manicures are on trend this fall. A rainbow french tip incorporates color without going overboard. I like the two-tone tips on these almond-shaped nails. Buy these nails at Etsy.

  1. Bangs are Back!

Bangs are a commitment, but they’re so fun! I’m loving this curtain bang with long wavy hair. Retro bangs are making a comeback this fall, and I’m here for it.

  1. Puffy Down-Filled Jackets

Puffy jackets are in style again, and this year, they’re bigger and better than ever. Literally. Fortunately, I look great in an oversized coat, and I can’t wait to rock this look. Buy this look at ASOS.

  1. Y2K Vibe Cargo Pants

Looks of the 90s are giving way to the 00s. One thing Y2K taught us is you can’t go wrong with cargo pants and a chunky heel. #lovethecamo. Buy these pants at ASOS.

  1. 70s Inspired Clogs

These wooden-soled shoes became popular in the 1970s and never left. This fall, we’ll see oodles of them. I adore this floral print with a mule back. Buy these shoes at DSW.

  1. No-Hair Mohair Sweaters

Mohair comes from Angora goats and is super soft. This gorgeous dusty purple fuzzy sweater captures the look without using animal fibers. Buy this sweater at Lulus.

  1. Dress it Up With a Vest

The autumn vest trend takes menswear and turns it on its head. I’m loving the look of this black collared sleeveless blazer over a white tank. Buy this look at Lulus.

  1. “Sorry Mom” Sheer Maxi Dress

Maxis are usually a summer style, but long sheer dresses are taking over this fall. I like black for this look because it slims and smooths.  Buy this dress at ASOS.

  1. Wild Wolf Cuts

Wolf-style haircuts are working their way into fall beauty trends. This haircut incorporates messy layers and thin sides with a full bang. It’s got the late 70s, early 80s vibe I love.

  1. Animal Print and Barbie-Themed Nails

Two nail trends this year are animal print and Barbie. I adore these vibrant fuchsia leopard print press-on. #bestofbothworlds. Buy these nails at Etsy.

  1. Get Ready to Sparkle in Sequins

Sequins are reserved for weddings and NYE. I wouldn’t wear it to work, but I love a sequined jumpsuit for a night out. Buy the look at Lulus.

  1. Shades of Caramel

This year, caramel is replacing bold summer colors, and I love it. These cropped khaki pants with a paper bag waist play on the caramel trend. #lifeissweet Buy these pants at Lulus.

  1. Office Wear Mini Skirt and Blazer

Anybody else gets “Clueless” Cher vibes from this look? Mini skirt suit combos are a big trend this autumn too: Mini skirt suit combos are a big trend this autumn alongside co-ord sets for the ultimate autumnal style, so you’ll need at least a few co ord sets this season! I simply adore any reason to wear a gingham mini. Buy this outfit at Lulus.

  1. Bold Blazer Over Concert Tee

I’m head over heels for this bold red blazer. Layer it over a band t-shirt for a devil may care look, or add a blouse for business casual. Buy this blazer at Lulus.

  1. Artsy Brown Nails

This intricate set of fall-themed almond nail press-on features rich brown, gold leaf, and glitter. I like the addition of the gold rings for extra sparkle. Buy these nails at Etsy.

  1. Biker Girl Chic

The bad girl biker look is in for autumn, and I couldn’t be happier. I adore leather jackets. This black vegan leather moto jacket is killing it. Buy this look at Lulus.

  1. Pixie + Bob = Bixie Hair

Pixie cuts are a big commitment, and bobs aren’t daring enough. Enter the bixie. This fall, we’ll see plenty of these adorable short styles hitting the streets.

  1. Dark Ombre Nail Designs

Dark ombre nails are stealing my heart for fall. I love the mystic feel of black to blush. The almond shape adds a soft feminine vibe. Buy these nails at Etsy.

  1. Stylish Fashion Sneakers

Sneakerheads have turned athletic footwear into an art form. This fall, fashion sneakers are in. This sassy pair by Guess checks all my boxes. Buy these sneakers at DSW.

  1. Belted Robe Coats

I love feeling comfy in the fall, and robe coats accomplish this goal. This belted ivory coat with fur collar is just on my wish list. Buy this coat at ASOS.

  1. A Little Black Dress

Does this fashion staple ever go out of style? I adore the simplicity of this black spaghetti strap bodycon mini dress. #legsfordays Buy this dress at Lulus.

Summary and Top Picks

This autumn we’ll see bold nails, Y2K comebacks, and some old classics (I have my little black dress on stand-by). My biggest concern is pairing these looks together. Fortunately, mixing looks is also trending.

I love a wide selection of fall trends, but my top three are:

  • #9 Wild Wolf Cuts: Think “Stranger Things” Joyce Byers but ultra chic. I’m obsessed with the wolf hairstyle for fall.
  • #13 Bold Blazer Over Concert Tee: Business casual seems to be popular this autumn. Mix this look up by wearing a blazer over your favorite band t-shirt.
  • #17 Dark Ombre Nail Designs: Bold nails are in this fall, and this ombre look is deadly. I love the black-to-blush color palette.
