Fall is symbolically known as a time for maturity, a time for a change, and a time for prosperity. And if you’re one of those people who loves the cooler weather and changing of the leaves, the season is best enjoyed bundled up in a cozy fashion. From argyle sweater vests to pleated plaid skirts, to Mary Jane styles of Doc Martens, the possibilities are endless. During this time of year, we usually appreciate the change from colorful pastels and brighter hues to deeper, richer colors. That was until these new seasonal trends started taking over!
If you’re unsure of where to find the latest fall fashion trends, allow me to enlighten you. Depop is a great way to buy, sell, and discover popular and unique fashion. Through the app, you can open your own “Depop shop” and sell clothes by simply snapping a photo with your phone. What’s more, is it’s a community full of creatives who aspire to reshape fashion for their generation and be a fashion inspiration to others.
I’ve curated a collection of fall looks from some of the best thrift and vintage shops that Depop has to offer while showcasing the best aesthetics from Pinterest to get you inspired for the season.
It’s 2021, and Gen Z is coming in hot with colorful, trendy vibes. Of course, russet brown, velvet red, and other autumnal colors will never go out of style, but what you’re about to find out is how totally “in” thrifting pops of color is. Fashion is about expressing yourself and your interests, and this season’s trends will allow you to do just that without the muted mundanity of traditional fall attire. The traditional converges with the modern in this season’s look of mix and matching vintage sets. I was never one for thrift shopping, but up until recently, I can’t get enough of it! There are so many unique looks provided at affordable prices for a broke college student like myself.

It’s no secret that long skirts and dresses are very quirky and fashionable, with their flowing modesty serving as an emphatic embrace of the “female gaze.” The whimsical allure of such pieces can elevate an outfit when paired with a Stevie Nicks-Esque shawl, an oversized flannel, or an elegant blazer. Look to Depop account @nartenela, brandishing the most stylish layering pieces: embroidered button-downs, lace maxi dresses, peasant tops, and classic turtlenecks.
Another fan favorite featured on this account is the eclectic patchwork trend. I only have one word for this style: obsessed. You can never go wrong with a cute and comfy pair of color block patchwork jeans, a patchwork flannel shacket, or a quilted floral patchwork skirt. After all, her mantra is to “reveal your inner goddess through carefully handpicked secondhand and vintage garments.”

We also have the timeless slip top and slip dress trend. The simple satin camisole slip top is perfect for all your layering needs, shown by @4bunny atop various ribbed long-sleeved tops and fashioned with pleated trousers and skirts with webbed fishnet tights. You can also check out silk slip top selections for the very best in unique, custom, handmade pieces from women’s clothing shops on Etsy, Amazon, and even small businesses like Farfetch. Even more perfect for this time of year are slip dresses. Stylish, comfortable, and classy, these dresses can be worn for all occasions. On Depop, @4bunny sinched an off-the-shoulder dress with a black corset, indulging in the gothic romanticism of fall and spooky season.

Now, hear me out. The ultimate fall shoe: loafers. If it were up to me, I would wear them every single day of my life. Since the 1950’s this classic shoe has been worn by men, women, and children everywhere. Their dependable comfort is what makes them so appealing. With connotations as the “business shoe,” loafers have been reimagined by the modern boss babe. Wearing loafers is easy, and they are suitable for almost any occasion. You can also pair these bad boys with anything from a plaid skirt to your go-to straight-leg jeans.
