Fall Fashion and Beauty
As the seasons transition from the languid warmth of summer to the crisp, golden hues of autumn, the fashion and beauty industries necessarily undergo a metamorphosis as well. In this forthcoming period, inner city dwellers and suburbanite residents alike will eschew their languid, sundrenched attire for a more tempered, utilitarian ensemble, predicated on a sophisticated fusion of cozy textures, earthy tones, and seemingly effortless elegance.
Meanwhile, beauty aficionados will endeavor to augment their visages with a palette of rich, jewel-toned hues, from the deep crimson of autumnal leaves to the burnished copper of proverbial penny coins. As the mercury drops and the mistral winds carry the whispers of winter's impending arrival, the catwalks and runways will showcase a plethora of fall's most alluring accessories, from supple leather gloves to statement-making hats... each designed to elevate and embellish the wardrobe of the discerning fashionista.
Meanwhile, the realm of cosmetics will witness a proliferation of autumnal shades, as makeup artists coax and cajole the skin into adopting an array of alluring, burnished hues, from burnt orange to rich, forest green. And so, as the seasons turn, "it is imperative that we stay attuned to the seismic shifts in the fashion and beauty landscape," "lest we find ourselves adrift in a sea of outdated styles and hues."

According to De Sole:
This season's must-have fashion items include statement accessories, rich textures, and comfortable silhouettes. Menard recommends bold, bright makeup looks that make a statement. As reported by Who What Wear, the trend of mixing-and-matching patterns will continue to dominate the fall fashion scene, with outfits featuring bold stripes, polka dots, and florals.
I have also come across a recent article on Refinery29, which highlights the importance of investing in quality over trendy pieces. In line with this, Insiders at Nordstrom shared that the most valuable investments for fall include a classic leather jacket, a pair of well-fitting trousers, "and a versatile white shirt." This season's beauty trends are also worth exploring... with Urban Decay's 24 → 7 Glide-On Eye Pencil being a top pick for fall makeup looks.

“This fall, weighted loafers are a coveted take on this classic shoe, especially when styled with socks and a miniskirt or shorts for those transitional days. Highlights within loafers track with menswear trends, featuring neutral colors like black, brown and burgundy.” — Rickie De Sole , vice president, fashion director at Nordstrom
The denim-on-denim trend continues to dominate this fall, but even if the Canadian tuxedo doesn't fit your style vibe, a fresh pair of jeans with a dramatic silhouette provides just enough interest for a cool, casual weekend look.
