Typically, I fondly think of New York Fashion Week (NYFW) as THE event that kicks off the fall season in NYC. Following fashion month in New York, London, Paris, and Milan, editors will examine the trends and release their analysis for the fall season. Of course, fall season this year is a bit different, but that won't stop me from discussing the fall 2020 trends, my favorite collections, essential items, and pieces worth investing in!
Accessorized Pieces
From Bottega's sweater dresses with heavy chain-link necklines to No.21's skirts with belts combos to Miu Miu's maxi dresses with their jewel-encrusted trims, embellished fashions this fall are sure to make a memorable impression on the wearer and those around them.
Life is more fun with the Abbi Embellished Cut Out Pullover ($198)! Alice + Olivia spruced up the classic slim silhouette of a black turtleneck and added a sexy asymmetrical cut-out at the shoulder to keep things interesting!
You can't miss the gleam of gorgeousness at the collar of the Brandi Beaded Stretch Shift Dress from Lilly Pulitzer ($228)! Both golden Lilly lace trim and bead details bring shine and sophistication!
Channel your inner Blair Waldorf with this blouse from Miu Miu ($1250) decorated with faux-pearl embellishments at the collar making it the perfect choice for an elegant and ultra-feminine look!
This ASOS DESIGN pearl velvet embellished mini dress in Taupe ($151) is just too darn cute!
Bows
This new trend is everywhere this season! For high street fashion brands, we're seeing it in both ready-to-wear and runway looks. Chanel has added bows to their necklines for a polished look, while Celine took on a menswear appeal with bows fastened to the collars of button-down shirts, and Giambattista Valli attached loosely tied bows to their sleeves.
The Blanche Tie-Detailed Cable-Knit Wool Sweater from Molly Goddard ($472) taps into this season's trend for classic cable-knits but put its own spin on the trend with cutouts at the shoulders secured with contrasting cotton-twill ties.
Smythe's Bow Shoulder Sleeveless Top ($395) is a textured jacquard top in a relaxed A-line cut and capped by pretty bows for a fun, feminine touch.
This black and white cotton-blend gingham pussy-bow blouse from RED Valentino ($335) makes a charming choice, thanks to its puff sleeves. If only everything in life was black and white!
Cited as one of his main creative inspirations, it is clear that art is a defining factor in Massimo Giorgetti's designs and modern collections. The Oversized Bow Straight Skirt from MSGM ($203), featuring a fuchsia pink cotton blend, high waist, straight fit, and short length is a perfect example!
I just love the elegant bow tie fastening the back of this beautiful white and black voluminous sleeve top by Rasario! The White Puff Sleeve Crop Top ($518) is crafted from silk and features a fitted crop top silhouette, a sweetheart neckline, round off-the-shoulder sleeves with elastic cuffs detail, and of course, the bow tie in the back.
The Windowpane Check Tie Neck Silk Blouse ($350) from Alice + Olivia, featuring smocked-cuff billowy sleeves and an extra-large bow at the neck, is cut to fit any mood or any look.
Cape
Wearing a cape as a coat has never been more in! Many designers combined this trend with others that are so in this season for their own take on the cape. Michael Kors had their plaid version, Oscar de la Renta's button-embellished capes go perfectly over a tailored knee-length dress, and Isabel Marant's oversized bohemian capes topped off with a belt at the waist are universally flattering.
Designed with modern squared-off corners, Cuyana's Baby Alpaca Square Edge Cape ($195) offers both drama and ease.
The Burberry Logo Graphic Jacquard Hooded Wool & Cashmere-Blend Cape ($950) is knitted from a wool and cashmere blend, accented with contrast-coloured edging and a jacquard-woven logo graphic.
Wide belled sleeves and oversized proportions augment the cape-style silhouette of the cotton-virgin wool blend Double-Breasted Cape Coat from See by Chloé ($625).
The Luxury Wool Cape from Coach (on sale for $398!) is a modern take on a cold-weather style and features an oversized lapel and their Signature buttons for a heritage feel.
Reinvent office-to-evening looks with the sleek BCBG Max Azria's Upas Cape Jacket ($166) perfectly tailored with defined shoulders and a waist-flattering fit.
The dark camel color together with the gold-tone metal trims of the Wool Blend Poncho from Michael Kors ($513) is just too beautiful!
Fringe
Fringe has made an appearance in past seasons, but now, we've been seeing more of it as a subtle trim on coats or even full-on fringe dresses. I love fringe in the fall; something about the flouncy embellishment is just perfect for the season!
The Western-inspired After Hours Fringe Denim Jacket from Free People ($128) features exaggerated fringe detail in an oversized, slouchy silhouette.
The LA-based label, Tularosa, is a refined vintage-inspired collection of romantic dresses, textural jackets, and embroidered tops, and I'm loving their Baies Sweater ($198) this season!
A modern twist on the classic V neck sweater, the Fringe V Neck Sweater from Vince ($395) is a pullover that features a softly fringed neckline and a slightly boxy silhouette.
Spice up your classic LBD with Superdown's Nia Sequin Fringe Dress ($98)!
The Ribbed Fringe Knit Sweater from & Other Stories ($119) is a ribbed wool blend knit sweater adorned with western-style fringing transitioning across the chest and sleeves in a heart formation.
Stand out in the cool and classic River Fringe Recycled Leather Jacket ($475) featured in a moto-style silhouette with fringe detailing at back and exaggerated zip features for added dimension.
Lingerie
This fall, designers are pushing lingerie as an essential mixing-piece to be worn out. Some of the daring outfits I liked include lacy bodysuits and bralettes over T-shirts or corset-inspired dresses.
The Brad Bodysuit from X by NBD ($148) seductive yet sweet with its sexy silhouette, daring cut-outs, and lace overlay details.
Nili Lotan's signature slip dresses have been worn by Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid and Rihanna - the understated silhouettes work for nearly any style! This 'Junie' version ($545) is made from lustrous silk-satin and cut on the bias for a beautiful drape. Suspended from thin adjustable straps, it has a cowl neckline and slit at the hem. Dress it up with your highest pumps or pair it back with slides!
The Mesh Insert Corset Bodice Jumpsuit from ASOS DESIGN ($103) is just too edgy!
I want a pair of the Intimissimi Silk and Lyocell Pajama Pants ($109) so bad! They look super comfy for a day of running errands or just to lounge around in.
Ethereal and dramatic, the sheer Silk Organza Kimono Jacket Top from Eileen Fisher ($190) features a modern oversized cut with dropped shoulders and slit sides.
Danielle Guizio is a NYC based brand that embodies the modern day trendsetter, and their Zita Mesh Corset ($108) is a perfect example of the hip and relaxed, yet edgy style they embrace.
Metallics
Metallics are a great way to adorn cozy knits and knee-high boots for a casual stroll around Central Park or illuminate a dinner date dress.
The Alexis Metallic Knitted Top in gold ($180) reimagines a classic silhouette with a modern metallic finish. Team yours with a leather jacket and tailored trousers for a contemporary look that will take you effortlessly from day to night.

I just love the the Gabrielle Robe Dress from Retrofete ($635) that I wanted to link it in Silver Sequin in addition to the Bronze one above!
'Punk' Plaids
Whether they're on button ups, oversized outerwear, or slinky slip dresses, rebellious plaid prints are getting a happy punk spin on them!
The best-selling pants from Amanda Uprichard now comes in plaid! The Tessi Plaid Pant ($195) features a pretty rainbow stitching and paper bag waist with a removable belt. Pair these pants with the Arly Top for day and take this look into night by swapping out the belt with a chain belt!
Sequins
The disco lifestyle of the 70's is making a comeback with head-to-toe sequin dresses, and I'm all here for it!
Shine bright in the Aubrielle Dress from Retrofete ($433), an effortless cocktail silhouette characterized by its hand-stitched sequin embellishments, plunging neckline, and oversized draped sleeves!
I absolutely love the convertible styling and sequin embellishments throughout the Gavin Jumpsuit With Satin Overskirt from Jay Godfrey ($495)!

For the girl who's the life of the party and always up for a glass of champagne, there's the NBD Signe Cami Top ($39) that'll make up the perfect outfit.
Shearling
Shearling is a must-have for the fall season whether it be a shearling bomber jacket or full-length coats!
