I’ve been scouting out fall style trends and am sharing a to-the-point guide on the top nano-trends (with street style photos for inspo!) and my top picks for nailing the look below. Are there any you plan to try versus shy away from? I’m delighted to see my cashmere bandana scarves will be making a heavy-handed return this fall!

My Top Picks for Fall 2026 Fashion Trends.

My picks: Alanui (swoooon splurge), this Anthro look for less, this Western-motif Tuckernuck.
03. Cargo pants.
My picks: Citizens Thassos pants, these Donnis, these La Lignes (use code MAGPIE10). For taller Magpies / if you can get your hands on a pair, the Citizens Flight pants are super chic (seen in the middle and bottom collages above!)
