Fall 2017 Trends: Here Are the Pieces You Need to Invest In Now
Want to bring back corduroy, à la Marc Jacobs? Or blast off into the future with Chanel? Maybe it’s time to (dare we say) pack away the black and pull out the red? That shearling you’ve had your eye on? We’ll give you an excuse to spring for it, as it is still the coat of choice for Fall 2017. Perhaps you need an excuse to finally but that romantic rose-print dress, velvet clutch, or feather trimmed pant. No one said Fall 2017’s trends were all practical, but here is some practical advice–invest now in pieces that will fit in with the trends come fall. Here’s how.
1Corduroy is Back strong text
Finally, Marc Jacobs and his 90s hip-hop inspired Fall show has given us a reason to snap up corduroy once again. Although the fabric is quite polarizing (you either love it or hate it), we’re fans.
2How to shop Corduroy now
Try Balenciaga’s pleat-front corduroy midi skirt, $995, matchesfashion.com.
3Lady in Red
Simply put, red was everywhere for fall. Givenchy drove the idea home by presenting Riccardo Tisci’s greatest hits, all 27 fall looks, in the hue.
4How to shop Red now
Try Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini’s red dress, $765, netaporter.com.
5Shearling
Shearling as a trend is not going anywhere. Saint Laurent, Marc Jacobs and Balmain all sent out shearling options, and others used it as trim, like this Proenza Schouler fall look.
6How to shop Shearling now
Try Altuzarra’s leather and shearling jacket, $2,398, matchesfashion.com.
7Roses
Because we’ve exhausted every other flower print possible. Also, Roses can be worn in a casual way, like they are on this denim Adam Selman look, or they can be the height of romantic glamour.
8How to shop Roses now
Try Vetements’ rose and polka-dot print jersey dress, $1,865, matchesfashion.com.
9Checks & Plaids
Always a fall favorite, this season glen plaid seemed to be the check of choice. Calvin Klein kicked off the trend in New York with this plastic-covered checked jacket.
10How to shop Checks & Plaids now

11Velvet
A breakout trend for Fall 2016, this lush fabric is not going anywhere. For next fall, go outside your comfort zone and opt for a bold gem tone in velvet, like this Erdem coat (no, navy doesn’t count).
12How to shop Velvet now
Try Eddie Borgo’s Boyd Vanity leather-trimmed shoulder bag, $990, netaporter.com.

Sometimes the best trends are elevated essentials. This supple leather dress from Alexander McQueen is so covetable, and its criss-cross ties are a cool detail.
