12 fall 2024 fashion trends that aren't really trends - how to make them your own

Ciao everyone! Today I'm sharing 12 fall 2024 fashion trends that aren't really trends because they keep coming back every year. I like to see trends as elements of style, that way I can make trends my own without shopping or spending money. I hope you enjoy today's video!

*I am sharing links to my loafers in the video below because I truly love them and have been getting questions about them on IG! But I hope the biggest takeaway from this video is learning style TOOLS to use what you already have, and not buying more STUFF. My wardrobe is specific to me and my tastes - yours will be different! And that is great because fashion is about creativity and expression! NB: some of these items are affiliate links and I will make a small commission if you make a purchase. This is part of my strategy to make valuable slow fashion content free. A lot of these items listed below are not the actual product because most of my items are either very old or secondhand, so I've tried to find the most similar item.

Thank you for watching! xx

On this channel, I share #slowfashion​​​​​ and #sustainablefashion​​​​​ tips that center around how to #shopyourcloset, and restyling pieces you already own. I also spotlight brands that I believe in every now and then. I believe in #creativityoverconsumption​​​​​, and that we all have the power to be conscious consumers.

Slow fashion looks different for everyone, and I'm so grateful you share this space with me!

I’ll tell you. When I want to watch a fashion video, I want individuality. I’m not clicking on any of these capsule wardrobe or, more recently, closet staples that will change your life, videos! Discussing proportions, textures, ways to combine and enjoy clothes, these are what interest me. I’ve always enjoyed your analytical approach.

Love that you focus on style not fast fashion! What a breath of fresh air.. thank you!

I've noticed the trend of wearing dark colour vests/bras under sheer white/light colour tops to accentuate the sheer. Normally we are told to wear nude bras/vests underneath but I also quite like the idea of a contrast, and you're showing this microtrend perfectly in this video Alyssa by wearing it yourself

Tbh love the Gorgeous Cat showing up discretely in the background trend❤

You are so right! Fashion is all over the place. Hemlines could be mini, midi or maxi. I love that whatever I have can be made stylish. My favorite is wearing any color in cooler weather. Leopard 🐆 is a no for me though.

Alyssa at her best! These are my favourite videos. I learn so much and look at what I have with new eyes. The only issue/ challenge is that I live in the Southern hemisphere. This does not mean that we are strictly replicating these styles 6 months later. Style is constantly evolving so it’s looking at how we can incorporate elements of these trends into our summer wardrobes while keeping next winter in mind when we consider decluttering and packing away out current winter wardrobe.

There's a lot to learn. Your approach provides a freedom and individuality that others don't. Thank you for teaching us how to be ourselves in fashion!

Loved this one Alyssa! I am an Edmontonian, currently visiting NYC, and I am seeing these looks everywhere.

I sell donated jewelry for fund raising. The latest batch there is a pearl choker with 12/14mm size pearls probably 60+ years old. It reminds me Princess Diana so I searched her wearing pearls photos. I saw that she wore casual or crew neck tops/dresses wearing pearl choker that didn’t fight with the neckline. I found it very interesting how a choker style in big pearl size can enhance the facial features. I already put that choker on Poshmark before I decided to buy it for myself. I have quite a few choker necklaces but they are all in small size beads. This vintage pearl choker really brings attention to my face and dresses up casual outfits.

Thank you for this great video! Would love to see a "styling these fall trends from my own wardrobe" video! I think you did something similar in the past and it was so inspiring!

That 's just really helpful and amazing content ❤. Thank you so much, Alyssa

I am passing on the plaid trend, it is so specific and hard to style with what I already have. I do love the burgundy trend. I think burgundy and cognac boots and bags look very rich and interesting. I am glad to see so much color. I am kinda sick of black, and some of the color combinations in the video look amazing.

[magpie]

Yes! Fashion is a state of mind and just recreating what’s already been done but this time just adding our own stamp on it to make it our style..

[tjburkhardt]

I’m half way through your course and loving it. So much food for thought. ❤

[michelleclark]

I noticed the drape-cozy-swaddling aesthetic, as well. I love 💕 it. It Represents to me the “soft life.” so soft! It says, Be kind to me. 😂

[altacostura]

You always look fabulous, but boy you have been looking extra-plus fabulous on the last few videos! So sleek and elegant!

[calgirlvirg]

Thanks for this video! And for touching on accessories and particularly tights. Any chance you can do a short video on how to wear tights with different outfits and which tights are the best for the specific occasion or style one is trying to achieve, please?

[DesignDanielle]

I always love your videos but this one was special ! ❤

The best fall fashion trend advice! Christina Mychas and Tasha Juli also made good videos on the subject that were introspective for me. When it comes to great style, sometimes what you buy/wear or don’t are equally important!
