The denim shirt
The shirt or even the slit denim skirt will be there this fall. Pleated or skater skirts are still very trendy this year. Brown with all its shades is super popular for mid-season. Basically, the total denim look will be part of modern outfits for this fall.
Jeans models this year are wide
Wide pants
The pants, high waisted and a little wide, are great for the season and also for hiding the belly. You can also opt for a suit in a pastel color to soften the silhouette and thus make you look younger.
Another big trend is scarves which can be worn in several different ways.
Cardigan
To continue in the preppy style, the cardigan in 2024 is being revisited with jeweled buttons or even puffed sleeves to suit all styles. It keeps you warm and you can wear it with a blouse or a t-shirt for a more casual look.
Here is another example of how to wear the cardigan
Suede jacket
With cowboy boots, this somewhat western trend is making a comeback this season. You will see a lot of suede jackets with slightly wide cuts and often accompanied by fringes or studs.
Leather, but colored
leather will also be there for this season, but we leave aside the classic black and opt for colors.
You can always choose burgundy for this fall

You will find shirts or even lots of tutorials on how to adopt this accessory to be right in line with another trend of the season which is the “old money” style.

Trendy colors and prints in 2024
Red
It’s a color that will definitely warm up fall looks. As a total look for a femme fatale or as a little touch to brighten up a slightly dull outfit. You can also wear it as a sweater close to your face, with a guaranteed rejuvenating effect.
Green
Olive green, fir green and many other variations are present in this fall’s collections. You can put together cool looks and why not a monochrome look.
Chocolate
And for those who don’t like bright colors, you have brown or burgundy. These are two classics, but this year are a little more intense.
Tartan
Checks are still present this year to structure your looks. You will find them on coats or jackets.
Leopard
Well, if there is really a big trend that stands out this year, it is undoubtedly leopard print. It is on all clothes and accessories including Dior, Isabelle Marant and Balenciaga.
4 looks for 3 styles
Causal-chic
Mixing elegant pieces with cooler ones is a recipe that works wonderfully. You can wear high-waisted shorts with a pair of opaque tights and patent ankle boots, a plain colored t-shirt with a mid-length cardigan. Otherwise the combination of jeans, an overshirt and a pair of ankle boots is also super modern. The possibilities are endless, the important thing is to have a modern result while feeling comfortable.
If you wear a vest, remember to style it well for modernity
Very sporty style sneakers are also in vogue this year
Overshirts are very trendy this year
Elegant
The easiest way to adopt an elegant look is to choose a monochrome outfit. Black is always very classy, for example. I suggest you put together an outfit in shades of brown to be in harmony with the fall colors. It can be a brown leather slit skirt with a V-neck top, a pair of square heel ankle boots. Otherwise, high-waisted beige pants with a shirt, a blazer and an ultra-trendy bag.

In a bohemian chic style, there is no doubt that a long dress is super appropriate. You can pair it with a pair of high boots, a leather jacket and a big scarf. Without forgetting the trendy handbag. Otherwise, opt for a pleated skirt, a long coat and a pair of ankle boots with a square heel.

Comfortable outfits with a hint of chic are great for 50-year-old women. You will have a young and modern look. A pair of sneakers, a sweatshirt, a trench coat and you have a good base of what to do. I also noticed that caps are super popular this year, so why not give it a try.
Sure! Here are three practical fall look ideas for women in their 50s that can have a rejuvenating effect:

Accessories: Add a statement scarf for color and texture, and finish with ankle boots.
Why it works: Layers add warmth and dimension, while a tailored blazer provides structure, keeping the look polished and sophisticated.
2. Chic Midi Dress
Outfit: Opt for a midi dress with a flattering silhouette, perhaps in a floral or geometric print. Look for styles with three-quarter sleeves to keep it seasonally appropriate.
Accessories: Pair with a denim or leather jacket for edge, and knee-high boots to elongate the legs.
Why it works: A midi dress is versatile and feminine, offering comfort while showcasing personal style. The right fit enhances your figure, providing a youthful vibe.
3. Smart Casual Ensemble
Outfit: Combine a tailored pair of trousers with a classic white button-up shirt, and layer with a lightweight, structured trench coat.
Accessories: Add a pair of loafers or stylish sneakers, and don’t forget a crossbody bag for practicality.
