KM Approved Fall Fashion Trends: Espresso Hues & Hints At What's To Come
As the fall season comes into full swing, there’s a noticeable shift in the air—not just in the weather but also in fashion. Rich, warm tones like espresso browns are taking center stage, along with structured, fitted blazers and indulgent fabrics such as alpaca wool. At Kait Macleod, we love seeing these seasonal trends emerge, but we’re also mindful of the importance of remaining classic in our designs to avoid passing fads.
The Earthy Espresso Effect: A Seasonal Favorite
This fall, earthy tones are replacing the brighter neutrals of summer. Our forthcoming autumn 24' ready to wear drop will be fully embracing this transition. Included will be a hand-made cardigan featuring shades like pistachio ice cream, while our new tailored blazer set brings warmth and depth in an espresso shade. The beauty of these colors lie in their versatility—they're easy to style and complement almost every skin tone. At Kait Macleod, we lean into this timeless palette because it transcends the seasons, ensuring our designs stay relevant, even as trends shift.
Fitted Blazer Set: Power Staple & Super 100s Wool
Structured, tailored blazers have made their way back into the spotlight, and were celebrating! Our upcoming blazer set will feature a flattering waist-cinching effect, paired with a tailored mini skirt crafted from matching Italian Super 100s wool. Known as a favorite of Loro Piana, Italian Super 100s wool is renowned for its fine, lightweight fibers, offering a soft & smooth texture that’s comfortable year round. It balances durability with elegance, resisting wrinkles and holding its shape well. The fabric’s luxurious finish combines sophistication with long-lasting wearability. In our collections, we focus on classic cuts and durable fabrics, offering a polished look that remains timeless. We appreciate the clean, sophisticated lines that our fitted blazer will bring, but we also recognize the importance of creating pieces that don’t lose their appeal over time
Alpaca: Cozy Luxe
As the temperature drops, cozy, high-end materials like alpaca wool become wardrobe essentials. Known for its softness, durability, and warmth, alpaca is one of those indulgent fabrics that feel like a yummy treat every time you wear it. And while it’s easy to get swept up in the allure of luxurious materials, we make sure to select responsibly sourced alpaca. We believe in curating luxury items that are both environmentally and ethically conscious, keeping longevity and sustainability in mind.
Balancing Trends and Sustainability
We know that chasing trends—especially micro-trends—can contribute to a culture of fast fashion and waste. That’s why we’re committed to crafting pieces that remain stylish long after a trend cycle ends. While we enjoy embracing seasonal changes and the excitement they bring to fashion, our designs are thoughtfully created to be relevant year after year. By focusing on quality fabrics, mindful production, and classic silhouettes, we’re proving that fashion can be both sustainable and stylish.
As you explore this season’s trends, we encourage you to invest in things that resonate with your personal style and values. Whether it’s an espresso-hued lip gloss or our alpaca cardigan, the key is to choose items that will remain a staple—long after the leaves have fallen.
