There is nothing like a change of season: there is always an air of newness, purpose and excitement – sartorially and otherwise! So as we step into autumn, we’ve rounded up the top fall trends you need to stock up on to up your fashion game. And these gorgeous Bollywood babes show you just how to do it! Bid adieu to summer and the monsoons in style and fall in love with fall fashion. 🙂
1. Sports Luxe
Sports luxe is ahead of the game and has secured first place on the sartorial field yet again! So don’t pack away your sweatshirts, leather joggers and high top, varsity crop tops, and sneakers just yet – these are key sporty pieces that can take you from AM to PM in a jiffy. It helps that comfort is the keyword here!
POPxo recommends: KOOVS Graduated Sequin Joggers, Rs 1,895
2. Normcore
Staying under the radar has become the new fashion mantra. This season is all about standing out by blending in! Think jeans with a nondescript tee, a slouchy sweater or a forgettable shirt. It’s what all the cool kids are wearing. Won’t you join them?
POPxo recommends: Softwear White Solid T Shirt on Jabong, Rs 599
3. The Sari, Reinvented
As the next-generation sari takes centrestage, there is yet to be a season where designers don’t reinvent the traditional drape. So while printed saris with an asymmetrical blouse has many purposes – it can camouflage pockets of flab or add more volume to your frame; conventional blouses replaced by nautical striped crop tops are perfect to flaunt your abs. Dhoti saris are an edgy choice for a sangeet; a sari gown can be flaunted at a cocktail party.
POPxo recommends: Shantanu & Nikhil Black Sari Gown with Golden Bodice on Exclusively.In, Rs 58,000
4. Texture Overload
If you want to look like you are a fashionista to reckon with, then push your sartorial boundaries by juxtaposing unexpected textures together—be it a jersey tee with leather accents or a cotton top with velvet applique work. Mix and match for an interesting play of textures—nothing is off limits this season.

5. ’60s revival
We, for one, are always looking for an excuse to channel Mad Men. So as mod goes modern and ’60s chic emerges as the season’s “it” trend, all we have to say is “groovy!” Take a cue from your favourite ’60s fashion icons and make way for shift dresses, A-line midis, knee-high boots, kaleidoscope prints, cat-eyed frames and bouffants.

6. Red Haute
Fiery truck engine red to scarlet hues, it’s all about painting the town red this fall. Be it a draped sari, a printed dress or palazzo pants, let this passionate colour take over your closet. What makes it even better is that it complements the Indian skin tone so beautifully!

After a brief affair with pastels, fashion is back to flirting with colour blocking. A cocktail of bright hues is just what one needs to be beat the greyness in the winter skies.
