Fall may have technically just kicked off in Canada, but with all the warm weather we’ve been experiencing lately, it hardly feels as if autumn has actually arrived. But before our favourite fashionistas hit the streets decked out in the latest fall trends, we wanted to share what we predict will be the must-have trends for fall. So keep your eyes peeled, we predict these will be the 5 biggest trends of the season.

Red
The colour red is said to be the hottest hue for fall. This fall, get your hands on something in fire engine or cherry red, like this pleated dress from H&M as it’ll add the perfect pop of colour to your wardrobe and can be worn to and from the office with booties, flats or heels.

Shop the Look: Pleated Dress, $29.99, available at H&M 

Power Suits
After checking out the street style looks from our favourite bloggers at New York Fashion Week, we have a feeling that power suiting will be everywhere this season. But rather than fitted silhouettes, you’ll see more relaxed and ‘90s-inspired office attire. If you want to try a power suit for yourself, we recommend opting for a luxe fabric like velvet or a statement colour like hot pink. We currently can’t get enough of this velvet suit combo, as it’ll bring a touch of high fashion to any office.

Shop the Look: Velvet Palazoo Trousers, $39.90, available at Zara and Oversized Velvet Blazer $49.90, available at Zara 

Bold Patterns
There’s nothing better than an attention-grabbing outfit in a playful, bold pattern. And this season, you’re going to see bold patterns everywhere. From funky florals and polka dots to stars and bold stripes, you’ll find bold patterns on all your favourite fall pieces.

Shop the Look: Maples Pleat Playsuit, $595, available at Zimmermann

Belted Trousers
Drawstring and belted bottoms were seen everywhere this summer, and it looks they are going to be even hotter this fall. We’re loving these chic belted trousers from Aritzia, as they can be worn dressed up to the office or worn casually with a pair of mules and a graphic tee.

Shop the Look: Wilfred Jallade Pant, $135, available at Aritizia

Baker Boy Hats
The final trend we think will be blowing up this season is the baker boy hat. It will add a subtle touch of sophistication to any look and will give you serious cool points. Style a baker boy hat with a pair of bell bottoms and a striped tee for ultimate French girl vibes.

Shop the Look: Glamorous Navy Baker Boy Hat, $29, available at Asos. Also view this style.
