I know it’s only August, but if you’re like me you’re already seeing fall trends start to pop up in your Instagram feed. Fall is my favorite time of year, but the season can go rather quickly. This means that you only have a limited time to max out your 2018 fall trends before it’s time to wrap up in your heavy winter coats.
I consider myself lucky living in Amsterdam because the temps are already dropping and the leaves have begun to fall. But if you live somewhere where the temperatures are still hovering in that summer range, it may feel difficult to incorporate those fall trends.
Even in these last few weeks of summer, there are plenty of 2018 fall trends to start getting behind now. Incorporate the below in combination with your current summer wardrobe, and when the weather turns, you’ll already be ready to go full on F-A-L-L!
What’s your favorite fall trend that you’re going to start incorporating in your wardrobe ASAP?

WESTERN BOOTS
As a Texas girl, I can’t be more excited for this 2018 fall trend. But thankfully these aren’t the cowboy boots you’d wear mucking horse stalls. The fall 2018 pairs are refreshingly modern. Pair them now with breezy dresses, and then keep them going as the weather cools by adding a pair of tights.
WHITE SHOES
Gone is the old adage that you can’t wear white after labor day. And good thing because there are so many stunning white pairs of shoes in stores right now. Ranging in styles from mules and loafers to heels and boots, white shoes will pair perfectly with your summer denim and liven up your fall sweaters.
LEOPARD EVERYTHING
This is a trend I know all the Dutch girls have to be excited about. It’s by far the most popular print in Amsterdam. This fall trend is going to be everywhere – literally wearing it head to toe is the way to go. But if you just want to dip your toe into this animal print look, grab a leopard maxi skirt. It’ll work just as well with a crop top now, as with a turtleneck when it gets cold.
FALL FLORALS
One of my favorite things to wear in the summer is maxi dresses and skirts. Luckily, that doesn’t have to end come fall. Start switching out your light florals for the new fall versions in deeper colors and more bold patterns. Just accessorize with sandals and a straw bag now and switch for knee high boots and a structured bucket bag come fall.
CHECKS
The check pattern is back again this fall, and I’m not mad about it. Something about this print reminds me of back-to-school and professors. Grab a blazer or skirt and pair it with a white frilly blouse now. Once fall hits, you can easily swap the blouse out for a rich mustard or wine colored sweater.

V into the checks, love the roundup of the jackets, pants, skirts!
I’m personally dying for a checked blazer. They’re so good! Xx, Kelsey
