Fall is here, and the change of season means it’s time for a fashion refresh. But don’t go thinking you need a whole new wardrobe for the months ahead: With strategic new purchases, you can make an entire closet feel brand new. And who better to look to than some of the biggest trendsetting celebrities of the moment?
Over the past few weeks, A-listers have been hitting the streets in a variety of new style propositions. From what’s new in the world of outerwear to the must-have accessories (including shoes and bags), these trending pieces are a surefire way to infuse your existing clothes with a brand-new spirit. Below, the five new trends to know.

A polished blazer is a fall staple—but this year it seems the boxier the better. Inspired by the sharp shoulder pads of the ’80s, these new fits bring a more graphic touch to the office and can also be styled with jeans on the weekend. The key to pulling it off is pairing it with more streamlined pieces, like skinny trousers or simple, unadorned sweaters. The trend has been worn by Kaia Gerber, Tessa Thompson, and Emily Ratajkowski, who offset her oversized fit with a chic belt for a more casual feel.
2. Chunky Shoes

Fall boots are never not going to be in fashion, but the new footwear look is all about a hefty base: thick lug soles on chunky combat boots instantly add edge to any ensemble and look especially good with casual jeans, as sported by Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Jennifer Lopez. These stylish stars have worn both high-end and affordable versions, with the classic Dr. Martens a recurring favorite.
3. Maxiskirts

The maxiskirt may seem like more of a summery piece, but stars have been transitioning the boho-chic item to the cooler months. The secret? Pairing it with sharp outerwear. Jennifer Lawrence wore hers with a sleek moto jacket; Priyanka Chopra chose a dressy blazer; and even a royal such as Kate Middleton has done it for evening, opting for a series of flowy, romantic gowns.
4. Oversized Day Clutches

The must-have bag for fall is an unexpected take on a classic evening style: Celebrities such as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Victoria Beckham, and Rihanna have been sporting oversized clutches during the daytime. A breakout star has been Bottega Veneta’s huge woven-leather pieces, which can fit just about anything a tote can. Clutched underneath a blazer, in the style of Huntington-Whiteley and Beckham? It’s a stealthy, chic carryall.
5. Wide-Leg Pants

Time to kiss those skinny jeans goodbye. The new pant shape for fall is extra wide and voluminous. Style risk-takers such as Margot Robbie, Katie Holmes, and Kim Kardashian West have all nodded to the ’70s bell-bottoms trend with fresh, new takes. Shoe pairing is crucial here: That billowy silhouette pretty much demands a stiletto heel to offset it. But don’t be afraid to experiment: It can be done with denim, leather, or even in a checkered print, like Holmes did recently with a pair of Khaite trousers.
