The calendar says fall, but the weather here in SoCal hasn’t quite gotten the memo. On the upside, some of what we can’t wait to wear can easily be worn while waiting for temps to dip below 80 degrees. The rest? We’ll make it work because, let’s face it—we’re not new to this, and we’ll do what it takes to wear fall trends our own way.

Colormaxxing

This trend is all about taking color up a notch—then multiplying it. Typically, fall is when hues turn subdued, but not this year. We’re seeing bold colors paired together, making unexpected combinations work in ways we hadn’t considered, like cobalt with cherry red, butter yellow with chocolate brown, or pink with burgundy. Color isn’t just an accent; it’s the whole look. The result is dopamine in wearable form.

Sports Star

The track bottoms you can’t get enough of aren’t going anywhere. Spring and summer saw them paired with more feminine tops and accessories, but this fall, we’re going full sport mode. The key to keeping it from looking like you’re actually headed to practice? Mix sporty pieces with everything else in your closet. A track pant with a fitted cardigan, a rugby polo with a mini skirt, or a raglan top with your favorite jeans. Simple yet polished, and no team sports required.

Checkmate

It wouldn’t be fall without our favorite print: plaid. We’re seeing it show up in fun color combinations, oversized patterns, and pieces that feel a little less traditional. And it’s bringing some friends along, with different variations like checkers and gingham joining the mix. From pants to jackets and accessories, there’s no shortage of ways to work a little plaid into your look.

Personality Hires

These are the pieces that’ll make you do a double-take in the mirror, and others will ask, “Where did you get that?” Animal print, lace, faux fur, bright colors, and statement accessories that bring just the right amount of extra. Because sometimes your outfit should have a little more to say—even in fall.

Now we’re more ready than ever to give our closets the new-season refresh they deserve. Shop our newest arrivals and keep an eye out for more of these trend-setting styles to make their way to Prism.
