Fall 2022 Fashion Trends
Style mavens and fashionistas divulge their picks for a perfect autumn wardrobe
Myles Joseph Hasnain, MJH Studios
“This fall, the ’70s are back! Think: elevated Woodstock wear, with everything from patchwork denim to fringe and crochet. These styles emit an effortlessly cool aesthetic, while perfectly keeping in line with 2022 fall fashion trends. Fringe and crochet are the epitome of hippie-chic, while denim on denim screams rock ’n roll! Whether going to a concert or out to dinner, these items will have you ready for this year’s retro-resurgence.”
“The must-have bags of the season perfectly complement 2022’s groovy fall trends. From Chloé, the Edith Fringe Tote features a crochet structure with fringe detailing at its sides. Paired with camel-colored leather panels and two top handles, this handbag is the perfect way to elevate your day-to-day look.” 650.380.1134, mjh.studio

“Coming out of the pandemic and the rise in casual (and comfortable!) dressing, tailoring saw a softening with loose, languid silhouettes and a sense of ease. This fall, tailored pieces are as sharp as the new No. 2 pencils on the corner of your desk. Fitted, tailored silhouettes exude sexy confidence and are all business, while leather and faux leather add a touch of tough to the work wardrobe.”
“Sexy style evolves this fall, particularly for night out and occasion dressing. Look for lingerie details such as corsets and bustier necklines. Textures begin to emerge within this space bringing newness in silk, velvet, lace, and even vinyl. And let’s not forget #barbiecore, which will have us all living ‘think pink’ this fall.”
Jian DeLeon, Nordstrom
“Motorsports and automotive inspiration rev up streetwear and sportswear. Sporty brights give preppy staples a younger energy, sweater vests and rugbys are reimagined with a subcultural edge.”
Julio Escobosa, Neiman Marcus Fashion Valley
“We’re all preparing for autumn occasions ahead, so I’m thrilled to see tailored clothing making a big comeback in menswear. I’m all about adding polish to your look without sacrificing comfort.”
“Be ready for spontaneous fall weekend trips with a great leather duffle and a works-with-everything topper. If you only add one piece to your wardrobe this season, make it a Kiton jacket!” 619.309.9422, @j.e.t.fashion
Ashley Caldwell, Neiman Marcus Fashion Valley
“It’s all about that effortless, off-duty model style. Think: relaxed denim paired with tailored pieces, cozy knitwear, and boldly textured accessories to get that ‘cool girl’ look.”
“A bomber-style jacket is my absolute must-have for fall. Go a size up (or shop men’s!) for an oversized silhouette you can throw over little dresses now and pair with knits when temperatures drop. As far as investment pieces, you can’t go wrong with a classic knee-high boot and shoulder handbag. I’m obsessed with Saint Laurent and Balenciaga bags this season!” 619.339.2833, @nm_shopwithash
Mahjuba Levine, Stylist
“An oversized blazer is a ‘must-have’ for your fall wardrobe,” says stylist Mahjuba Levine, who also does personal shopping for clients and “closet edits” to weed out unflattering, outdated items, put together new outfits, and add new pieces. Levine also says leather loafers are big this season, as well as wide-legged pants and cut-out dresses. And why not add some sparkle and sequins? Mais oui! 619.838.7706, mahjuba.com
Konrad Janus, Saks Fifth Avenue
“This fall season is full of major fashion statements. One of the most prominent trends is the pairing of soft and structured pieces into one ensemble. A common iteration of this trend is the combination of a tailored oversized blazer or a sharp leather moto jacket and a delicate slip dress.”
“Statement-making embellishments like crystals and sequins on everyday pieces are another major trend. It’s exciting to see these opulent appliqués make their way into daytime and office wardrobes.”
“And of course, it wouldn’t be fall without leather, especially when it comes to outerwear. This season, many designers have expanded their leather offerings to a variety of styles and silhouettes in everything from tank tops to spaghetti-strap mini dresses.”
“Other must-have pieces for fall include a half-moon bag and anything in a silver color palette.” 714.540.3233, saks.com
