5 Fall Trends You Have to Try!

Today I am excited to share five fall trends you have to try! This season, it’s all about balancing bold patterns with classic staples to create effortlessly chic looks. Everyone should feel like they can participate in the season's hottest trends and I am here to show you how or where you can start, even with a 18/20/2X body! I have been loving using these trends in my current styles, and cannot wait to share with you some of my favorites. Let’s dive into how these trends can transform your wardrobe this season!

MY SIZING: For reference + reminder, I am 5’8, wear a 42DD in bras, typically a standard 18W but sometimes a 20W, usually a 2X, naturally high-waisted, and have an apron belly.

TREND ONE: Fall Florals

Dress (2X) | Boots | Earrings | Headband | Purse | Bracelets

Florals are a must for any season, but I think fall florals might be one of my favorites. I love the pop of color and uniqueness they bring to any look. I feel like florals get the reputation for being a spring and summer print but they totally are for fall too! Coordinating with the dark and warm tones of the season, they can be so beautiful. So when I came across this one from Anthro I knew I had to get it and I have gotten so many compliments for it. I got this one in a 2X and the dress does run a little generously, but in the best way! This is a definite add to the cart for the upcoming season!

TREND TWO: Cheetah

Crewneck (3X) | Skirt (XXL) | Sneakers | Earrings

For me, cheetah was never out of style. However, I’m beyond happy that it’s trending now because it's everywhere. Cheetah print is the perfect way to elevate an outfit without over-complicating it, I like to think of it as a neutral to be honest! This cheetah slip skirt is so comfy and fits perfectly. I’m wearing an XXL, and I feel like it has the perfect amount of room. PLUS double trend alert with this look because sweaters over skirts, you will be seeing all fall long. It creates the perfect cozy yet styled look and I cannot wait to do this with more of my outfits!

TREND THREE:

BALLET FLATS

Tank top (XXL) | Cardigan (XXL) | Skirt (XXL) | Bag | Ballet flats

I know you have seen these everywhere and let me tell you, ballet flats are a must buy! These metallic ones are SOO adorable, and I love how comfortable they are. I think ballet flats add the chicest touch and can really go with any outfit. Dress them up or down! I have been liking to wear them with jeans and maxi skirts recently. For example, these silver ballet flats from American Eagle were the perfect addition to create an elevated casual outfit. Wearing XXL in everything from Aerie and the skirt has room in it! These trendy flats can add such a cute, girly touch to any outfit!

TREND FOUR:

BLAZER (XXL) 

Sweater vest (XL) | Trousers (22) | Blazer (XXL)

A moment for the blazer and this girl-boss look! Business casual is a trending style and blazers are how I have been incorporating it into my looks. I love wearing them for the fall with trousers and even over a casual tee and jeans! I also especially love this blazer trend because in fall layering is my favorite styling move! This one from Abercrombie is perfect! It has stretch, while still giving a great silhouette. Sometimes, blazers can look boxy or unflattering but this one has the most perfect fit! Wearing it in a XXL!

TREND FIVE:

DENIM (20)

Tank top (XXL) | Denim (20)

Denim will forever be a constant and reliable look in all seasons but this fall the special style that has been standing out is a nice wide leg jean. I am here for it and had to highlight this pair from Target. They are one of my favorites so far and I just love the unique pockets these flare jeans give. If in between sizes, I would size up. I’m wearing a 20 and they fit great. Statement denim is a fall trend you will continue to see so grab these while you can. You can really never go wrong with another fabulous pair of denim in your closet!

This fall is all about bringing the cozy + fashionable combo to your closet and these fall trends are doing just that! I am all about feeling comfortable and confident in my clothes, while still being able to stay on trend, so I loved getting to share and give my take on these amazing fall trends for my plus size 18/20/2X body! From cutesy flowers to striking blazers, I hope you find your next fall trend to implement into your wardrobe! I would love to hear what fall trends you are looking forward to and what you’re excited to try out. Happy fall styling!
