Plaid & ‘90s Revival

The ‘90s are still going strong in the fashion world, with minimalism and plaid leading the charge. Think oversized blazers, sleek baguette bags, chunky sneakers, and tailored trousers that channel both nostalgia and a modern edge. Layering plaid with denim or leather creates an easy, streetwise, oh-so-fall look that’s resonating with Gen Z and Millennials alike. Retailers should consider stocking plaid pieces like scarves and handbags that allow shoppers to dabble in the trend; tapping into staple accessories of the era, like bucket hats, chokers, claw clips, and narrow sunglasses; and mixing prints for an updated twist.

Maximalist Accessorizing

In the world of accessories, the era of “less is more” is giving way to “the bigger, the better.” Large belts — think wide, embellished, or with multiple buckles —are making a comeback, as seen in recent runway and street style snaps. Chunky jewelry, oversized bags, and layered scarves add personality and drama to any ensemble. Encourage shoppers to play with proportions and stack on the accessories for a look that feels both curated and carefree.

Bold Color & Prints

Neutrals are taking a backseat as bold color stories and prints dominate. Animal prints are especially hot — leopard, zebra, and even playful Bambi motifs are popping up on everything from coats to boots. Vibrant reds, electric blues, and saturated greens inject energy into fall wardrobes. Consider merchandising color-blocked displays or print-on-print styling to inspire customers to embrace the season’s exuberant palette.

Fragrance 

There’s a reason so many fashion houses get in on the scent game: Fragrance is an essential part of personal style. It also presents opportunities for apparel-focused retailers to expand their product offerings and boost sales. From fresh takes on florals to gourmand scents like caramel and vanilla, shoppers are seeking new ways to express themselves through perfume and the like. Consider offering curated fragrance bars or even scented jewelry to tap into this growing category and help customers complete their look in a truly multi-sensory way.
