Sometimes it seems like fashion trends are changing so quickly, it’s impossible to keep up. Online shopping has allowed for us to expand our options, and try unique things that are outside the limits of our local malls. However, with so many options to choose from, its hard to determine what trends are actually popular for the season, instead of just for a brief moment after being spotted on an A-list celebrity.
Luckily Polyvore, a site dedicated to all things fashion, has your back. They recently shared a list of the top fall items that are spiking in searches, making it possible for us to finally know what everyone will be wearing come Pumpkin Spice Latte season. Here’s what we know will be trending:
