5 Fashion Trends to Try This Fall
Posted by by Maria Aoki on October 05, 2022 in Fall, Fall Trending, Lovestitch Clothing, Trending
It may be difficult to believe, particularly in the aftermath of the most recent heatwave here in LA, but fall is officially here. Arguably the best season (Pumpkins! Hallowe'en! Sweater weather!), we're more than ready to ditch our sandals for boots and our Frappuccino's for pumpkin spice lattes.
Another element of fall that we're excited about are the new fashion trends to try for autumn 2022. Compared with summer, which is all about keeping cool, fall fashion is warm, cozy, and an exercise in effortless layering. Textured knits and romantic prints instantly invoke an autumnal mood, and occasion dressing comes back in full swing.
Read on to learn about our 5 favorite fall 2022 fashion trends!
The New Bohemian
This fall, the modern take on bohemian style is less overt with subtle nods to retro details. Think less Coachella, more effortlessly refined and romantic.
To integrate this trend, try styles with voluminous or puff sleeves; they instantly add a touch of shape and drama. Delicate embroidery adds a handcrafted feel, while a fringe trim adds interest to an otherwise simple silhouette. As far as knits go, the blanket poncho is back, and chunky, ultra-textured sweaters are an easy way to elevate an everyday look.

Breakers Puff Sleeve Mini Dress, $84
It's my Party
Going out style is officially back, a sign that life is cautiously returning to normal. And we are here for it! For holiday parties, late nights on the town, or even a romantic date night, we're craving a little bit of sparkle and unapologetic glamour.
To integrate this trend, look for styles that incorporate glossy or light-catching details. Effortless, easy-to-wear silhouettes are a must, to ensure maximum movement on the dancefloor.
Monrow Maxi Dress, $80
Midnight Magic Kimono Top, $62
Alohas Straps Chain Heel Sandals, $170
Only You Blouse, $60
Full Lengths
Sure the micro-mini skirt is having a moment, a call back to the early aughts, but if itty-bitty skirts are not your thing (or even if they are!), you'll love the full length trend.
Maxi skirts are back in a variety of fits and fabrics. We love a style that lands below the ankle, and the option of a side slit is great for those who want a little more movement. Our favorite maxi skirts come in dramatic lace, a stretchy striped knit, or ultra-boho patchwork embroidery. The maxi skirt is surprisingly versatile; dress it down with a band tee and sneakers, or style it with a bodysuit and heels for a night out.
Hotline Striped Maxi Skirt, $62
Molly Embroidered Maxi Skirt, $80
Dallas Maxi Skirt, $58
The LBD is Back
Not that it ever went anywhere! But we're seeing a renewed appreciation for the staple little black dress. Whether for work, a first date, or a last minute going out outfit, the LBD is that one style in your closet that oftentimes saves the day. And if you're on a budget, the LBD is the perfect fill in the blank style that you'll get so many wears out of!
We love to look for simple, flattering silhouettes that incorporate subtle romantic details to set it apart from the basic LBDs of the past. Pretty ruffles, a self-covered button front, or an open back detail elevate an otherwise basic dress.
Seville Mini Dress, $72
Allegra Asymmetric Midi Dress, $72
Abbot Mini Dress, $80
Franca Embroidered Maxi Dress, $90
All the Pretty Details
Speaking of pretty details, romance is back for fall. To incorporate this trend, look for delicate features and fabrics. Lightweight chiffon adds a gauzy and ethereal feel, while a perfectly placed lace trim instantly elevates a basic silhouette. Vintage-inspired florals invoke a romantic nostalgia.
Our favorite way to integrate this trend is to look for versatile styles with romantic touches that will transition from day to night with ease. A change of shoe or an accessory can either play up or play down the romantic feel.
Yasmine Embroidered Blouse, $60
Rapture Maxi Dress, $98
Avenue Lace Camisole, $52
Unstoppable Chiffon Mini Dress, $80
