TREND #1 Plaid
Plaid is a power player that adds a touch of charm and wit to everything from babydoll dresses to structured suits.
Urban Outfitters, Emma Plaid Mini Dress
Price: $59
urbanoutfitters.com
Style hint to wear it now: Wear this polished sundress with sneakers to keep the vibe more casual than corporate.
Urban Outfitters Casey Kick Flare Pant
Price: $39
urbanoutfitters.com
Style hint to wear it later: If you love plaid, but aren't ready to commit to the pattern in a fall coat, opt for a pair of statement-making pants instead. They are just as edgy and give you more freedom and flexibility to play with separates.
TREND #2 The Ring Bucket Bag
Long live the bucket bag! This shape is not going away anytime soon, but this season's must-have bags are upgraded with ringed hardware.
Shein, Straw Bucket Bag With Ring Handle
Price: $13
shein.com
Style hint to wear it now: In the height of summer, anything goes when it comes to purses. If you're on a summer party or wedding circuit, tuck in the straps and let this double as an evening bag.
Rebecca Minkoff Ring Bucket
Price: $205.99
zappos.com
Style Hint to wear it later: Stand out in a sea of black bags by picking one in a softer, more sophisticated taupe-it looks elegant and, like black, it can be worn with everything.
TREND #3 Electric Brights
See and be seen in eye-catching shades that are made to brighten your mood and your social posts.
Topshop, Moto Cropped Denim Jacket
Price: $47.99
nordstrom.com
Style hint to wear it now: A jacket this bright does all your styling for you. You don't need more than a simple tee or this cute $23.99 camisole.
Topshop, Bonded Double Breasted Jacket
Price: $68
nordstrom.com
Style hint to wear it later: Depending on where you work, some shades in the electric-hued trend may be too loud, with the exception of this green. And when it's done in a double-breasted silhouette it's #girlboss.
TREND #4 Leopard
The reason leopard will never go out of of style is because it's a trend that has nine lives: You can wear it as a statement to stand out, or as neutral to blend in. Wear it to feel wild or wear for a touch of elegance; the possibilities are endless.
Adidas Originals Superstar Leopard Sneaker
Price: $90
urbanoutfitters.com
Style hint to wear it now: Be one step ahead of the trend in these sneakers. Of course, they go with shorts, but we'd love seeing them with slouchy linen pants and maxi dresses.
Bardot, Faux Fur Coat
Price: $169
revolve.com
Style hint to wear it later: If you're itching to don a leopard coat, don't resist. It has the versatility of a trench, plus its own fierce charm. Throw it on over a graphic tee and jeans on the weekends, and add a chic turtleneck (we love one in red) and sleek pants for work.
TREND #5 Prairie Chic
It's a new frontier of sweet blouses with delicate details, prairie skirts and stone-washed denim that feels fresh off the farm.
For Love & Lemons, Dakota Lace Blouse
Price: $128
shopbop.com
Style hint to wear it now: It's the delicate lace of this blouse that makes it a must-have, but don't let its sheerness put you off. Slip a nude cami underneath. One we like is Halogen's Seamless Two-Way Camisole which costs $29.
HINGE, Peplum Denim Jacket
Price: $53.40
nordstrom.com
Style hint to wear it later: While it may be hard to justify buying yet another denim jacket, the peplum waist sets this one apart. For the "prairie chic" look, wear it with floral dresses and booties.
TREND #6 Chunky Soled Combat Boots
Kickstart your style with the latest version of chic, chunky-soled combat boots that are as comfy as they are tough. These go anywhere you do, and can add a little edge to skirts or jeans.
Kendall + Kylie, Epic Boot
Price: $155
revolve.com
Style hint to wear it now: A stiletto it's not, but you should treat it as one: Wear it with your most form-fitting and feminine dresses.
Sam Edelman, Browan Velvet Lace Up Boot
Price:$79.97
nordstrom.com
Style hint to wear it later: Luxe velvet tames the toughness out of this punk-inspired boot-meaning it's office-friendly and is versatile enough to be worn with two of fall's must haves: Plaid trousers and prairie blouses. For a similar look, try the Coach Lucy Platform Bootie.
Trend #7 Bold Stripes
One part preppy, one part retro, oversized and graphic stripes have a sporty new edge.
FILA + UO Sylvia Striped Rugby Dress
Price: $65
urbanoutfitters.com
Style hint to wear it now: Summer's best color combination arrives in a classic rugby dress. Of course, you can wear it with sneakers and slides, but why not try white combat boots instead?
Price: $110
Style hint to wear it later: Unexpected stripes make this sporty and sophisticated. Follow the line and wear it with fall's super dark denim for a streamlined look.
