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.

1
Corduroy 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.
