8 Fall FASHION TRENDS To Actually Wear in 2019!
Fall 2019 doesn’t need a runway budget to pull off — just eight smart picks and a plan.
On August 24, 2019, lifestyle creator Shea Whitney posted a 10-minute-42-second guide called “8 Fall FASHION TRENDS To Actually Wear in 2019!” — a deliberate answer to the unwearable, avant-garde stuff that dominates Fashion Week coverage every September. Instead of showing off pieces nobody outside an editorial shoot would ever put on, Whitney pulled eight practical trends out of the broader Fall 2019 cycle and explained how to actually shop and style them for real weather and real budgets. It’s a translation job: runway concept in, street-ready outfit out.
- Whitney condenses the Fall 2019 trend cycle down to eight wearable staples rather than covering every runway concept from the season.
- Classic plaid gets a modern update through oversized blazers, tailored plaid trousers, and statement accessories rather than traditional flannel shirting.
- The guide pairs practical outerwear — puffy down jackets and statement leather pieces — with trend pieces like animal prints and tailored suiting for transitional-weather layering.
Plaid, Reworked for 2019
Plaid never actually leaves fall fashion, but Whitney’s pitch is about scale and silhouette rather than pattern. She steers viewers toward oversized plaid blazers worn loose over simple basics, tailored plaid trousers instead of the expected skirt or kilt, and plaid worked into accessories — scarves, bags, headbands — for people who want the pattern without committing to a full plaid outfit. The through-line across her picks is proportion: big blazer, slim pant, one plaid moment per look instead of head-to-toe pattern-matching.
Outerwear That Actually Works
Two of the eight trends are built entirely around function: puffy down jackets and statement leather outerwear. Whitney frames the puffer as the piece that showed up on fall runways for a practical reason — it’s warm, it comes in enough shapes and colors that it doesn’t read as purely utilitarian, and it works over nearly everything else on her list. Leather gets the same treatment on the dressier end, with leather trenches, pants, and dresses positioned as the elevated counterpart to the puffer’s casual warmth.
Fall doesn’t have to mean a muted color palette — think bright red, electric blue, or vibrant purple.
Prints, Suiting, and Statement Pieces
The back half of Whitney’s list is where she leans into the season’s boldest signals without asking viewers to overhaul their closets. Animal prints show up in small, wearable doses — leopard boots, a snakeskin skirt, one zebra-print accessory — rather than as a full outfit. Turtlenecks get reworked past the basic sweater into turtleneck dresses and jumpsuits, statement suits swap in unexpected fabrics and silhouettes for the traditional office look, and bold accessories (oversized earrings, chunky necklaces, statement headbands) close out the list as the cheapest, lowest-commitment way to touch a trend.
Whitney’s approach lines up with the same logic behind guides like wearable fashion trends for women over 40 and 10 summer style essentials all men need — take what’s on the runway, strip out the parts nobody will actually wear to the office or the coffee shop, and hand viewers a shopping list instead of a mood board.
The video closes the same way it opens: eight trends, zero pressure to buy all of them at once, and a reminder that the point of a fall wardrobe refresh is picking one or two new pieces — a plaid blazer, a puffer, a leopard boot — and building the rest of the outfit around what’s already hanging in the closet.
