Keep scrolling to shop our favorite pieces in fall’s best fabrics.
Wool
Whether you opt for a wool coat, sweater, or dress, wool fabrics will trap in heat, insulate, and protect you from the wind. (They also retain their insulation properties when wet—making it ideal for outdoor activities). While some wool fabrics can be heavy, we particularly love merino wool and cashmere in fall, which are lightweight, soft, comfortable, and perfect for the autumnal temps.

Leather
Leather made a dominant appearance on the F/W 2020 runways, continuing to ride its wave of popularity among the fashion set. From dresses to skirts and jackets, the fabric is durable, flexible, and most importantly, warm.

Suede
Soft and sumptuous, suede is a fall favorite—leaning into the prevalent late '60s and '70s trends we spotted on the runways. It's lightweight yet resilient and ideal for temperate autumnal days. (Just don't get caught in the rain!).

Tweed
The textured woolen fabric has become synonymous with the cooler months—adding sophistication and polish to every autumnal look. Opt for a tweed blazer, coat, or skirt this season.

Velvet
Is there anything more luxurious and plush than velvet? It's soft, warm, smooth, and looks elegant—ideal for the cooler fall and winter months ahead. Moreover, the fabric was all over the F/W 2020 runways in the form of jackets, dresses, trousers, skirts, and even shorts.

Gabardine
The fabric behind the iconic Burberry Trench coat—gabardine is a woven twill fabric (that can be made up of worsted wool, silk, and most commonly, cotton). It's durable and has a water-resistant finish—ideal for lightweight fall trench coats.

The thick cotton ribbed fabric is warm, durable, and breathable as it absorbs and releases moisture quickly. Try a chic jumpsuit, pants, or jacket for a cool '70s look.
