Trending Fall Fabrics to Add to Your Capsule Wardrobe
Pleats



Pleats are undoubtedly one of the top trends for fall 2023. This trend is particularly popular in pleated skirts. And they have gained significant popularity this year, especially seen in midi and maxi skirts. Incorporating pleats into your wardrobe is a great way to add sophistication and visual interest to your looks. From everyday outfits, workwear looks, and date night ensembles, adding this element will instantly elevate any look.

Wool Plaids



Plaid is a timeless pattern that never fails to make a comeback each fall, and this year is no exception. It’s often a popular choice for coats, skirts, pants, and more. I personally love adding a simple plaid piece to a classic, minimal outfit. This gives the outfit more interest and fall flair. Whether you’re heading to work, a date night or just running errands, incorporating plaid into your wardrobe is sure to make you feel on-trend and ready for the autumn season.
Satin and Silks



Satin and silks have been a major hit in spring and summer 2023. And their popularity is definitely continuing into the fall season. These stunning fabrics are great at bringing an element of elegance and sophistication to any look. One of my favorite ways to style them is by pairing a satin skirt or pants with a cozy sweater. The contrast between the smooth texture of satin and the softness of the sweater creates the perfect balance. This versatile look can also be dressed up for a sophisticated workwear look or dressed down for a casual daily look with sneakers. The possibilities are endless!

Leather



Leather has been another popular fabric choice this year, and its continuing into fall and winter of 2023. Incorporating leather into your wardrobe is an effortless way to add a chic, sophisticated, yet edgy vibe to your looks. Whether you opt for a pair of sleek leather pants, a classic leather jacket, or a pair of leather boots, it’s sure to upgrade your style. Plus, leather is not just a trend. It’s a timeless fabric that has proven to be a staple in fashion throughout the years. Be sure to check out my Leather Outfit Ideas post here for more fall outfit inspiration.
Cable Knit



Cable knits are commonly seen in sweaters, making it a staple texture for fall and winter wardrobes. And this timeless look undoubtedly never goes out of style. The intricate patterns of cable knit sweaters are a great way to add interest to your look, which can elevate the traditional sweater to something much more stylish. It’s definitely a great way to add texture and a touch of classic style to your cold-weather looks.

Croc



Croc texture is also having a moment right now and can be seen in everything from boots, bags, belts, and other accessories. It’s an easy way to elevate your look with a touch of sophistication and luxury. The texture adds an interesting visual element that can be added to any outfit, from a chic sweater dress outfit to a classic jeans and T-shirt look. The options are truly endless when it comes to incorporating croc texture into your wardrobe, and it’s a trend that’s here to stay.
