Fashion Week always brings creative ideas, but what matters most is how those ideas translate into real life.

During New York Fashion Week for Fall 2026, several trends stood out. And while runway styling can sometimes feel dramatic, many of these directions are surprisingly wearable.

My role as a stylist is always to interpret trends with intention, helping clients decide what to incorporate into their wardrobes and what they may already have that can be worn in a fresh way.

Here are six trends from the recent shows that you can easily adapt to your own style; you don't even need to wait until next Fall!

1. Velvet

Velvet is a Fall-Winter and Holiday classic, but expect to see more of it this year in updated silhouettes and styling.

The beauty of velvet is that it instantly elevates an outfit. A velvet blazer, for example, can transform your favorite jeans and a simple top into something more polished and interesting.

If you already own velvet pieces, this is a great time to bring them back into rotation.

2. Fringe

Fringe is already here, and growing.

It adds movement, texture, and personality without requiring a full statement piece. Accessories are often the easiest way to incorporate this trend.

During Fashion Week, I wanted to wear a fringed scarf over my blazer and found an older one in my closet that worked perfectly, exactly what I was looking for.

Sometimes the “trend” is already in your wardrobe.

3. Red

Red looks strong for next Fall, ranging from bright, energetic tones to deeper burgundies.

The key is finding the shade that works best for your coloring and your comfort level. Even small touches, like a bag, shoes, or lipstick, can make a big impact.

Red is a color that communicates confidence, but it can also feel very sophisticated when styled intentionally.

4. High Necklines

High necklines continue to appear in interesting and modern ways, especially in knits and structured pieces.

We are already seeing hints of this direction in Spring collections, particularly with high-neck cardigans and jackets.

This silhouette can feel elegant, practical, and very polished, especially during colder months.

5. Tweed

Tweed appeared across many collections: jackets, dresses, skirts, and even pants, often styled in fresh and contemporary ways.

If you think tweed can look aging, the key is modern styling and proportions. Pairing tweed with relaxed silhouettes, denim, or unexpected pieces keeps it current.

Classic fabrics don’t age you, but the way you style them might.

6. Brown

Brown remains strong and is not going anywhere.

One of the reasons brown works so well is its versatility. It combines beautifully with many colors; blue and pink are among my personal favorites.

There is a perfect shade of brown for everyone, from deep chocolate to lighter camel tones.

How to Approach Trends Intentionally

When I work with clients, we don’t focus on trends: we focus on what fits their lifestyle, what works for their silhouette, what aligns with their preferences, and what creates more outfit possibilities. Sometimes a small addition is enough to refresh an entire wardrobe.

Fashion shows are a source of inspiration. You don’t need to follow trends to have great style. But understanding what is current can help you make more intentional decisions, whether you’re adding something new or rediscovering pieces you already own.

If you’d like help translating trends into a wardrobe that truly works for you, we can explore that together.
