As summer winds down, it’s time to start thinking about 2018 fall fashion trends. The weather gets cooler and the days get shorter, but your style can get even better! Autumn is a wonderful chance to add some fall style to your closet and revamp your look. We put together a Fall Fashion Survival Checklist for you, highlighting five of our favorite trends.

No matter what your personal style is, there’s flattering fall fashion for everyone at your local Scout & Molly’s Boutique.

You can count on our team of fashionistas for honest and helpful advice! Without further ado, here are the five items you need to look your best during the Fall 2018 season:

Faux Fur Coats

Faux Fur Coats

Do you love the look of soft, luxurious fur, but don’t want any of the moral hang-ups? Beautiful faux fur is an ideal solution. Make a statement with a rich maroon jacket, or keep the look more neutral with a gray or fluffy pastel coat. And, you can’t go wrong with faux fur details like cuffs, collars, or hoods. Our stylists love faux fur coats because they’re pretty and practical: you’ll stay cozy in chilly weather, and look chic while you do it! Find yourself a faux fur coat, and you’ll be ready to look fierce all fall and throughout winter.

 
Bell Sleeved Dresses

Bell Sleeved Dresses

Channel your inner flower child with a floral, lightweight bell sleeved dress! These dresses cinch at the waist, so you’ll get a flattering hourglass shape and still have a touch of carefree boho chic. You can take the ’70s vibe one step further and wear a bell sleeved dress with tall boots or chunky clogs — and don’t forget your trusty faux fur coat. As one of the hottest styles for Fall 2018, a beautiful bell sleeved dress is an essential piece that you need to have in your closet.

 
Sheer Tops

Sheer Tops

Add some sex appeal to your outfit with a sheer top. Balance the flirtatious top by adding a sweet vibe with feminine prints and details. Then, throw in a bit of extra edge with a leather jacket or ankle boots. For fall, we love sheer tops in darker, more muted colors like this long-sleeved one with a romantic floral pattern. Worried about going sheer? Our stylists will help you find a cami or bralette to add some coverage.

 
Faux Leather Jackets

Faux Leather Jackets

A faux leather jacket is a closet style staple for 2018. You can go with classic black or brown leather (or even a different color). You can also choose to go for a jacket that has added details to stand out from the crowd. We love the bell sleeves on this one, and our stylists are crazy about extra detailing like tassels, studs, and fringe.  A faux leather jacket is superb for dressing up jeans and a T-shirt, but will look even better with a flowy dress or sheer blouse. To add a cherry on top, choosing faux or vegan leather is a terrific way to show off your rock n’ roll side without worrying about animal welfare. It’s a win-win that adds punk rock flair to your mindful fall style.

 
One Shoulder Sweaters

One Shoulder Sweaters

We love sweater weather, and so should you! This fall, Scout & Molly’s is all about the one shoulder sweater fall fashion trend. It’s a great way to show just a little bit of skin, and add some more style to an otherwise simple sweater like this super soft white piece. Just toss on your favorite jeans and jewelry, and you’ll be good to go! With the right one shoulder sweater, you can look cool and stay comfortable all while turning heads with a flash of collarbone.
