8 fall trends you can wear today

The Baroque era is back by way of rich fabrics, gold detailing and ornate prints. Look to accessories—like scarves and smoking slippers—to incorporate Old World elegance into your wardrobe.

The peplum shape will continue to be big for fall, so hang on to your favorite hourglass-enhancing dresses and tops.

Two classic colors meet in the middle to create a simple yet impactful outfit. Done up in peekaboo lace or sheer chiffons, and even rich leathers, black-and-white dressing is an easy trend that you can start wearing now. Best part is, you already have these pieces in your wardrobe.

Printed suits are all the rage, with florals, paisley and geometric patterns liven up your 9-to-5 look. Not ready to go so bold? Ease your way in with a subtle, monochromatic print.

Leather is arriving in numerous forms this fall. Shirts, skirts and laser-cut pieces (which provide their own A.C.) are the easiest way to start wearing it now.

Turn heads in red, fall's hottest hue. Easily wearable during the last warm days of summer, a red lace shirt or leather skirt transcend the seasons.

Fashion goes intergalactic with bold metallic pieces. Opt for space-age fabrics in classic cuts to keep your look grounded.

Switch out your beachy maxi dress for floor-grazing dresses in fluttery fabrics. Stick to earthy tones to achieve a rustic yet whimsical style.
