Pumpkins. Massive scarves. A nip in the air. It can only mean one thing: Fall is coming. And a new season means it’s time for some major outfit inspo.

Mostly As – E-Girl Edge

The E-girl edge trend is a totally fresh take on all your favorite looks from the Internet-driven generation. You grew up surfing the web and are now living for TikTok dances and VSCO filters. This trend takes the best looks of the ‘90s and ‘00s, like butterfly clips and baby tees, and upgrades them to fit your 2020 aesthetic. You need bold embroidered tops and the hottest new bucket hats. The E-girl is truly this year’s “it girl” —the chick who can say it all with her fashion and start trends—not just follow them. 

Mostly Bs – Iconic Prep

Vintage, classic, old-school cool—these words are all YOU. The iconic prep trend is inspired by ‘90s skater culture with a feminine twist. It’s really all about layering oversized and fitted tops, retro graphic tees and bold plaid prints that bring a tried-and-true look a little extra edge. Stock up on pieces like cool button-downs, high-rise pants and cami dresses.  

Mostly Cs – Desert Romance 

You dream of a life running through beautiful meadows and staring at golden sunsets. Warm and inviting colors of the desert romance trend are your staples and you could live in a floral dress or frilly skirt. You take inspiration from romantic aesthetics and nitty-gritty details. Pair a sweet peasant top with destructed jeans and you are totally in your element. 

These are the looks that are gonna be running the show this upcoming season. Which fall 2020 fashion trend did we match you with? Let us know in the comments! And to the guys—we have trends for you, too. Check out our online shops for retro-active and urban grunge!
