Hey gorgeous! Fall is finally here officially, and it’s already time to update our closets. So if you’re planning a shopping trip anytime soon, you gotta find out about the top 10 must have fashion items for Fall 2018.
And as always, I’m bringing to you my list of all the fashion fashion trends from runways and celeb style, so that you can have the chicest season ever.
So are you ready to find out about the essential trends for Fall 2018? Let’s go!
Must Have Fashion Items for Fall 2018
1. Boy Jeans
Girls, welcome this cool, new trend that makes your trusted skinny jeans look so old fashioned. Boy jeans are different from boyfriend jeans in that boyfriend jeans are oversized, making you seem like you’re literally wearing your boyfriend’s jeans. Whereas boy jeans are well-fitted, but they look boyish. So go for medium-waisted, straight-cut and cropped jeans. You can either try unwashed, or slightly embellished or ripped jeans.
Hi-rise, straight-leg jeans: Zara
2. Statement Socks
Never thought that socks could rank so high up on your shopping list, right?! But from velvet, to fishnet socks to leather and embellished, socks are just so extra this year! Pair them with your sneakers, peep-toes or heels in early fall. And in the winter-time, you can even go for sock-booties.
We also spotted statement pantyhose on the Fall 2018 runways. Go for patterned, lamé, or metallic pantyhose. In fact, we even saw them just this week in Marc Jacobs Spring 2019 fashion show.
Fishnet Crew Socks: Forever 21
3. Short Strap Cross-Body Bags
Last year’s micro bag trend has evolved to become cross-body and they are Fall 2018’s It-bag. Keep ‘em small and hang ‘em close!

4. Suit Jackets
Forget denim jackets for 2018 because this is the year to look classy and elegant! Suits and tuxedos are one of the must have fashion items for Fall 2018. Either wear a chic cropped suit or wear the lapel jacket on its own. Or you can even go for a tuxedo jacket paired with gowns or even shorts. This is yet another trend we just spotted in Tom Ford Spring Summer 2019 show as well.
5. Transparent or Plexi
Celebs like Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift have already been wearing transparent boots and dresses for many months now. But the runways have made transparent heels, bags and even jewelry one of the must have fashion items for Fall 2018. So take your pick. Plus, we just spotted this trend in the Jeremy Scott Spring Summer 2019 show as well.
Iridescent Clear High Heels: Forever21
6. Narrow Skinny Sunglasses
Forget the oversized sunnies because the 90s, Matrix-style narrow sunglasses are so, so back! We saw them in different shapes and colors, too. And loads of celebrities like Bella Hadid, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Kaia Gerber are rocking them.

7. Victorian Sleeves
Here’s yet another revival trend, but this one’s not from the 90s. It’s from the Victorian era. We saw leg-o-mutton, flouncy and Juliet sleeves in tops, dresses and even outerwear. Great way to make a statement!

8. 3D Tops and Dresses
Why take a square foot when you can take a whole square meter? This fall, we’re gonna see an excess of ruffles, flouncy overskirts, oversized applique, and anything that goes outside the regular silhouette to take up extra space. I blame social media, because a regular designer dress just doesn’t grab enough eyeballs for celebrities these days. So you need to look like a cake with icing. Or a Dilophosaurus. You know, the dinosaur that killed Newman in Jurassic Park.
Double V Exaggerated Flounce Trim Bodysuit: Shein
9. Choker Sets
Good news! Your choker is still very trendy. But this fall, pair it up with pendant chains of different lengths. Delicate chain-link chokers paired with different or matching dainty collar necklaces are super-hot right now! For winters, you can even go for a necklace set paired with a neck scarf.

10. Sweater Bodysuit
Sweater bodysuits are one of the must have fashion items for Fall 2018. Or you can even go for a body-hugging sweater and just tuck it neatly into your skirt or jeans.
