7 Fall 2020 Fashion Trends to Keep on Your Radar

This pair of faux leather bottoms from Guess offers a tapered and cropped fit, so you can show off your shoes or socks. You can even wear this in the spring and not feel overly suffocated in the material.

These blue leather pants are so light, comfortable, and form-fitting. This will be the statement piece in your outfit, meaning you can do a bit more simple on top with a white sweater or cream-colored top.

These Gucci pants are high-waisted and come in a wide-leg style should you want the flare. Front patch pockets add that look-at-me detail. With these on, you'll feel impossibly cool at work even when you're just in sneakers.

Monse's entire fall 2020 collection seamlessly merged opposite looks together, so the brand should be your first pit stop in channeling the trend. Here's a flannel-meets-hoodie combo that will speak to the Netflix-and-couch gal in all of us.

The plaid pattern on the upper half of this trench coat and on the pockets give it a quick revival for 2020. If you're looking for a trench coat that's sophisticated yet cool and affordable, this is my pick.

This half leather, half plaid blazer is one of my all-time favorites. It's the fashion-girl piece that will be timeless to wear because both sides are classics on their own.

This floral and lace top from Marc Jacobs is called "The Victorian Blouse," if you needed confirmation on the style. Rock it with blue straight-leg jeans or a black pleated skirt with knee-high-boots.

This Victorian romance mini dress features a puff-sleeve design with elegant rouleau button details. The high-neckline gives the dress a more buttoned-up look while the floral print and length keep it fun and lively.  

For a blouse that has a bit of a Victorian vibe (you're not sure if you want to fully commit to the look yet), slip into this patterned blouse. The color is lighter and brighter, making it the perfect spring-to-fall or fall-to-spring top.  

A turtleneck sweater can sometimes feel stuffy, I know. The solution? Take a pair of fabric scissors and slash one side of the shoulder to get some air. If you don't trust yourself to create this look, shop this sweater from Paige.

It's party time and you need a dress that's fancy but also sort of sexy. Slip into this stretch velour gown with side cutouts. It's perfect for a cocktail event or even a black-tie wedding. Drape a blazer cover the look, if you want to be a bit more covered. 

This top might be considered avant-garde for the more casual dresser, but I assure you it's completely wearable. Style it with a pair of cargo pants or your favorite pair of denim to dress it down. 

Sometimes I wish I could just drape a blanket over myself and leave the house. This skirt is one way for me to channel those cozy vibes outdoors, but in a fashionable way. 

This Miu Miu jacket is sure to get you all the compliments, whether you're rocking it at a music festival or at a dive bar with friends. The piece feels vintage/thrifted but with that polished, sophisticated touch.

Not completely sold on this trend yet? Don't worry, you'll warm up to it. To help you do that, give this boho cardigan with minor fringing at the bottom a try. It's not too much all at once.

Zara already carries a few good sets like this knit sweater that can be paired with the matching knit skirt (in the next slide). You can wear this top separately, too, if you wish.

Speaking of knit skirt, here's one you can style with the matching top or with a simple bralette once the weather gets warmer. Rock some knee-high leather boots underneath for that fall 2020 lewk.

This set is one you start wearing this spring because of the short-sleeve top. Once fall rolls around, layer a long-sleeve thermal top underneath and cover up your ankles with a pair of booties.

The vivid-yellow painterly floral print on this resort 2020 look was inspired by the label's native Australia. It's made from a silk-blend linen with lustrous sheen and has a cutout waist to show off some skin underneath all the voluminous elements. 

This Cinderella-esque blue gown from Alexander McQueen gives you the chance to feel like a red-carpet star. When the clock strikes 12, you won't want to change out of it. PSA to future brides: here's your something blue.

This gown gives me adult Tinkerbell vibes. (Sorry not sorry about the back-to-back Disney references.) The draped tulle train adds volume and lightness to the overall look while the vibrant colors make it a fit for those seeking to wear bold hues for formal occasions.
