Embrace the opportunity to reinvent your look, and discover beauty products that enhance your glow. Here are six of the biggest fall 2024 fashion and beauty trends, according to Pochelska and the FabFitFun team.
- Pumpkin skin care
-
This fall, pumpkin skin care is taking center stage as one of the hottest trends in beauty, harnessing the power of glowing, radiant skin. Packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and enzymes, pumpkin is a powerhouse ingredient that helps to gently exfoliate, hydrate, and nourish the skin. “Pumpkins are loaded with vitamins A, C, and E,” Pochelska tells Her Campus, “Vitamin A helps to promote cell turnover and can improve the appearance of skin texture. Vitamin C is known for its brightening and anti-aging properties, while vitamin E offers antioxidant protection and helps to moisturize the skin. Additionally, pumpkins are high in antioxidants, which help to fight premature aging and natural enzymes, like papain and alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), which can gently exfoliate the skin.”
As temperatures drop, the need for effective hydration is paramount, making pumpkin-infused products a perfect fit for the season. From creamy masks and revitalizing serums to luxurious body scrubs, these formulations not only smell like autumn bliss but also provide deep hydration and a healthy glow. ELEMIS Superfood Glow Cleansing Butter ($45) has fermented pumpkin enzymes to help remove impurities and brighten skin.
- Hydrating Body Skin Care
-
As time in the sun during summer beach days slowly fades, fall is the perfect time to start focusing on your body’s skin health. With temperatures dropping, it’s very common for people to fall off their skin routines. “Once we bundle up for fall, we tend to neglect body care,” Pochelska says, “but when the weather starts to change, our skin needs care more than ever! Cooler temperatures and lower humidity can lead to dry and flaky skin, making body skin care crucial for maintaining hydration and preventing irritation. Regular moisturizing and exfoliation help to keep the skin smooth and healthy.”
Kopari Golden Aura Body Oil ($39) is a perfect staple for anyone’s fall routine. When applied to freshly cleaned, damp skin, this oil locks in moisture, leaving your skin feeling rejuvenated. This product is non-greasy, yet fast absorbing!
- Tinted Lip Balms
-
This fall, lip tints are emerging as a must-have beauty trend, captivating makeup enthusiasts with their versatile, long-lasting color and lightweight formula. Brands such as rhode, e.l.f., Fenty Beauty, and Haus Labs have jumped on this trend with tinted lip balms taking the beauty world by storm. Unlike traditional lipsticks, lip tints offer a sheer wash of pigment that enhances the natural beauty of your lips while providing a fresh, effortless look. Their blendable texture makes them perfect for creating a range of styles, from a soft, natural flush to a bold statement lip, allowing you to easily transition from day to night.
Infused with nourishing ingredients, many lip tints also deliver hydration, ensuring your lips remain soft and supple as the weather turns cooler. With an array of shades inspired by the rich hues of fall — think deep berries, warm terracottas, and muted mauves — lip tints are perfect for complementing any autumn outfit. A perfect example would be Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment ($22). This product has a sheer, chocolate-y shine that also has skin-strengthening benefits.
- Crescent Bags & Sling Bags
-
Unique bag shapes are stealing the spotlight as the ultimate must-have accessories, perfectly blending style and functionality. “Crescent bags for casual, everyday wear and sling bags for on-the-go are our favorite bag trends this fall!” Pochelska says. Available in a variety of materials, colors, and sizes, these bags can easily elevate your autumn wardrobe, whether paired with oversized sweaters, tailored coats, or layered outfits.
A bag worth having in your collection would be the Coach Mini Payton ($89). As we embrace the changing seasons, these trendy bag shapes are perfect for showcasing your personal flair while keeping your essentials close at hand. With crescent and sling bags leading the charge, fall fashion is all about making a statement while staying practical.
- Platform Shoes
-
Believe it or not, platform shoes are making a major comeback, bringing an exciting blend of nostalgia and modern flair to the fashion scene. These elevated styles — including the MUK LUKS Kirstey Slides ($49) — offer not only height but also unmatched comfort, making them a go-to choice for anyone looking to make a statement without sacrificing ease.
The trend of platform shoes caters to a variety of aesthetics, from edgy to preppy. Pair them with tailored trousers, flowy skirts, or even oversized sweaters to create a playful contrast that perfectly embodies the fall spirit.
- Bold Fall Colors
-
Who said bright colors were only for summer? Bold colors for the fall are IN, breaking away from the traditional muted palettes typically associated with the season. “People are embracing color this fall,” Pochelska says. “For a bolder look, we are betting on burnt orange to take over, and for a more neutral look, we are loving sage green.” Layering these colors — like the deep hue of Lulus’ Deep Rust Orange Corduroy Jacket ($35), for example — can create eye-catching outfits that stand out against the backdrop of autumn foliage. Whether it’s a bold coat draped over a neutral ensemble, vibrant trousers paired with a graphic tee, or statement accessories that pop against classic fall staples, the emphasis on color invites creativity and self-expression.
It’s time to embrace the richness of fall 2024 and express yourself through fashion and beauty like never before. With an array of stunning colors, innovative silhouettes, and must-have beauty products, the opportunities to showcase your personal style are endless. This autumn, let your style reflect the beauty of the changing season, and step out ready to make a statement wherever you go.
