Autumn is universally perceived to be a season full of brown, beige, and falling leaves. In a city where autumn brings blazing heat rather than brisk, fall weather, it’s challenging to incorporate those classic fall hues into a fun, summer-like wardrobe. However, brands like Chanel, Miu Miu, and Loewe are redefining that concept, blending traditional fall tones with summer-inspired styles.
Chanel’s Fall 2024 couture line floods the runway with tweed, neutrals, and sporadic pops of purple and blue. Notable pieces in
this collection includes oversized coats and structured blazers. As seen in the Fall/ Winter 2014 collection, knitwear has been a consistent staple on the Chanel runways. Chanel continues the seasonal tradition, incorporating layered knitwear into this year’s Fall/Winter collection. The combination of layered knitwear, monochromatic looks, and Bermuda shorts give a subtle nod to 90s fashion through specific bits. The knit sweaters depict the relaxed aesthetics of the 90’s. Bermuda shorts reflect the popular mid-length styles seen in streetwear at that time. This just solidifies the brand’s commitment to normalizing fun and expressive fall fashion wear.
Chanel added vibrant colors alongside rich autumnal hues to create a trendsetting fall fashion take for places like Miami where fall means palm trees and light layers, not falling leaves and heavy coats. Due to this runway, fashion enthusiasts have been promoting the combination of baggy denim shorts and knit cardigans all over their social media platforms featuring outfit inspiration videos and “Get Dressed With Me” content.
Designers also showcase their take on fall fashion in collections like Loewe’s Fall 2024 ready-to-wear. The runway showcases an array of colorful dresses, button-ups, and blazers rather than chunky trench coats. Besides Loewe, Miu Miu recently dropped a shoe collaboration with New Balance, merging autumn’s sophistication with summer’s vibrance in a single shoe. By integrating earthy hues with lightweight materials, this collection delivers a versatile footwear option that transitions from summer to autumn.
To finalize the seasonal update, enhance weekend wardrobes with tanks, tailored blazers, and cropped knit cardigans, which can be seen in collections from designers like Chloe and Alexander Wang. Brighten the closet with a blend of autumn hues and playful summer shades, inspired by the latest looks from influencers such as Sofia Coelho and Brigette Pheloung.
