Don't Tell Anyone, But I'll Be Recycling These 6 Summer Trends This Fall

This summer has been filled with stylish fashion ensembles, and I'm not ready to move on just yet. The pieces I've gathered this season have become some of my all-time favorites, and it wouldn't feel right to abandon them after all we've been through. So I've secretly decided to recycle some of my most beloved summer trends this fall. (No one's going to notice, right?)
The key warm-weather styles I'm hooked on are sheer separates, utilitywear, and red accessories. Finding ways to repurpose these trends requires a little creativity and inspiration, but that's why I'm here. Keep scrolling to shop the six trends that I'll be wearing for the foreseeable future.
Strapless Tops
It's more than just a tube top. Elevated strapless tops that veer away from the standard cropped style have been everywhere this summer. Style them with literally any bottoms from jeans to trousers to maxi skirts, and throw on a cardigan, blazer, or leather jacket come fall.
Utilitywear
Utilitywear and workwear trends continue to be fashion-girl favorites. Look for cargo pants and dresses with patch-pocket details to tap into this trend. These pieces make for quite the comfortable, laid-back wardrobe, and they're super easy to throw on even when the weather cools down.
Red Accessories
Red is the number-one color trend of the year and has been spotted on countless runways during both spring and fall 2023 shows. The momentum won't be slowing down anytime soon, and I've found that the easiest way to incorporate this bold shade into my wardrobe is with accessories such as suede sneakers and leather handbags. Below are some stylish options to add a pop of red to any outfit no matter what color it is.
Sheer Separates
Though it's intuitive to wear these pieces when the temperature is at an all-time high, I'm determined to find ways to go sheer this fall. Styling sheer tops with corduroy pants and leather boots or layering them over a turtleneck are just a couple ways to reimagine the trend.
Cat-Eye Sunnies
Cat-eye frames are a chic summertime staple, and I plan on wearing this popular sunglass style into the new season. There are endless designs and colors to play with, too.
Fringed Details
Fringe during the summer is often associated with festival, resort, or beach ensembles. But this same trend can take on a whole new identity in the fall. Staple pieces with fringed detailing create an eclectic, vintage flair that's authentic to the change in season.
