FIVE TRENDS TO WATCH OUT FOR THIS SEASON

Ready to start dressing for fall? If you're feeling that chill in the air, we urge you not to reach for your run-of-the-mill tracksuit. There are a ton of new ways to work your wardrobe RN – so go on, experiment! We’re talking expanding your shoe collection, learning how to layer coats like a pro and even dabbling in aesthetics you may or may not have tried before. Scroll for the details.

The style that Tyler, the Creator has become synonymous with is going ever-strong. Grandpa-core is a nostalgic nod to the clothes you’d typically see on an eccentric Pops – think retro-patterned knits coupled with smart staples like loafers, suit pants and rolled-up socks. To give this old-school vibe a new-school touch, mix in streetwear elements like caps and fresh kicks.

Summer ’24 saw boat shoes returning to the spotlight, but as we creep into cold-weather territory, chunky lace-ups should be your go-to. Keep a pair of Dr Martens or ASOS DESIGN shoes on your rack for versatility; you can style these with a suit for date nights, or dial it down with a graphic tee to achieve A$AP Rocky-casual feels.

Overcoats are back and literally bigger than ever. The new roomier, retro-influenced cuts make layering a cinch. Wearing a shorter, thinner coat underneath is a simple way to elevate an everyday look, or you can opt for a knit to give instant prep. If you’re feeling *extra* fashion-forward, take some notes from Andrew Garfield and drape your coat over your shoulders for a Corleone level of aura.

When it comes to tailoring, it’s impossible to not mention the king himself, Colman Domingo. Fortunately, you don’t need a red carpet to emulate his high-bar style; skip the typical tuxedo and play with proportions. A boxy blazer coupled with a long, roomy pair of suit pants are a match made in heaven. Plus, don’t feel confined to a white button-up; a crisp crew-neck + chain can look just as polished.

Cargos have cemented themselves as the MVP of 2020s streetwear, developing into a staple for every wardrobe. Look to Oklahoma City star SGA for notes on how to take a basic pair from zero to hero: we've been taking notes on how he’s styled up these neutral denim cargos with a pink metallic shacket for a textural touch. You’ll be scoring style points every time.
