Anyone else SO EXCITED FOR FALL??? I can barely contain myself. Give me all the pumpkin spice lattes and fall scented candles. I’m ready!
While the crisp temperatures and tasty coffee treats are exciting, FASHION is the best part of fall. Do you agree?
This year particularly… the plus size trends I’m seeing for the season are so fun! I love fall fashion because although the trends do vary from year to year, so many wardrobe staples carry over. Classic jeans, boots, sweaters, etc. are great investments because they’ll serve you for years to come.

A Note On Trends
Of course, it’s part of my job to let you know about all of the best trends each season and find pieces that will fit into your lifestyle. I want to emphasize this… YOU ARE IN NO WAY OBLIGATED TO BE TRENDY. The best part of personal style is that it’s personal. Wear what you love and skip the rest. Hate animal print? Just skip it! (Although, how dare you betray me by not liking it?)
90-95% of my wardrobe is classic pieces that can be worn for years to come. I prefer it that way and personally believe it’s the best way to build a wardrobe. I also wear what I like even if it’s not trendy. For example, I am obsessed with leopard print ALWAYS. I wear it year-round and probably have 10 leopard pieces in my wardrobe at all times. This fall? It just happens to be one of the biggest trends of the season so it’s the perfect time for me to stock up so I’ll have what I need even if it goes out of style again someday.

Let’s Dive Into The Most Exciting Fall 2019 Plus Size Fashion Trends
Animal Print
I’m starting with my absolute favorite trend of the season… animal print. As I mentioned above, animal print is not a trend for me… it’s a classic I wear always. It’s SO exciting when a style you love gets REALLY popular so that you have ample choices of what to add to your wardrobe.
You’ll find animal print items available in everything from dresses to shoes and accessories. Both leopard and snakeskin prints are HUGE this season
Here are a few of my faves:
Wide Width Leopard Ballet Flats
Sleek Suits
I live for a good blazer in the fall. They really take any look up a notch… jeans and a tee? Add a blazer! Interview at a Fortune 500? Add a blazer!
This year, sleek suited looks (often with belts) are in and I’m OBSESSED. You’ll also find a lot of menswear-inspired blazers with plaid and houndstooth options.
Here’s what I’m loving:
Belted Blazer (in White, Black or Camel)
Black Double Breasted Blazer With Gold Buttons
Double Breasted Herringbone Blazer
Dusty Rose Tailored Stretch Blazer
Earth Tones
Earthy tones are a fall staple every year and this year is no different. I’m loving the olive greens and rusty oranges along with classic camel and beige.
Here’s what I’m loving:
Brick Red Drawstring Shirt Dress
Leather
YESSSSSSSSS… Leather season (or faux leather as I prefer) is here! Of course, classic items like handbags and boots are great for the season but you can find gorgeous leather dresses, skirts, and even leggings.
Here’s what I’m loving:
Faux Leather and Ponte Knit Pixie Pant
Ponte & Faux Leather Moto Jacket
Faux Leather A-Line Midi Skirt
Faux Leather Tie Neck Midi Dress
Hair Accessories
Summer was huge for hair accessories and that trend is still in full force for fall. I am honestly late to the game on this trend, but I’m LOVING IT! I love combining the animal print and hair accessories trend with these leopard options.
Here’s what I’m loving:
Animal Print Pony Tail Holder Set
