Gen Z can be pretty particular about fashion. They’ve reinvented old trends, called out millennial fads, and kick-started new styles.
So it only makes sense that members of the young generation have recently been taking over TikTok with their recommendations for this year’s fall outfits.
From flat shoes to worn-out leather jackets, here are some of the top trends, according to members of Gen Z on TikTok.
One of the top Gen Z fashion trends for this fall will be worn-looking leather jackets.
Searching the phrase “faded leather jacket” on TikTok currently results in dozens of recent videos — many of which were made by Gen Z fashion fans — that collectively have more than 449.6 million views.
Brown leather jackets seem especially popular, so long as they have a faded wash, crease marks, and other features that make them appear to be worn and distressed.
Monochromatic outfits in neutral shades are the way to achieve cool autumn looks.
Videos tagged with the phrase “monochrome outfits 2023” currently have more than 284.1 million views on TikTok, proving that single-color looks have been trendy throughout the year.
But as seen in recent Gen Z videos, there’s a new, fall twist on the trend.
Gen Z seems especially keen on all-brown outfits this year, though beige looks and forest-green colorways are also popular.
Your actual outfit, however, doesn’t matter as much. Members of Gen Z have created both monochromatic athleisure looks and office-ready outfits with the trend.
Pops of red will be everywhere, according to Gen Z.
TikTokers are calling it now — red handbags, shoes, belts, and other accessories will be making their way into fall fashion this year.
This trend pairs well with the monochromatic one, as you can level up any neutral look with a pop of the vibrant color. You can also wear the color more as a statement with garments like red leather jackets.
Videos about the trend currently have more than 164.1 million views on TikTok.
When it comes to footwear, ballet flats are now all the rage.
Ballet flats first came back in style with the rise of “ballet-core” fashion at the end of 2022 — but the trend isn’t going anywhere yet.
In recent TikTok videos — which collectively have 149 million views — members of Gen Z have explained that flat, feminine shoes are some of the trendiest for this fall.
Some people are opting for classic flats with thin bows in the front, while others are choosing more unique ones with buckles, straps, and square toes.
At the moment, miniskirts are out and long denim ones are in.
With videos totaling more than 32.7 million views on TikTok, long denim skirts are increasingly becoming more popular as we get closer to fall.
Many members of Gen Z are thrifting the long fashion staples, and are specifically looking for ones with straight cuts that reach their ankles.
It’s also become popular to style them with classic pieces like turtlenecks and pointed boots in neutral shades.
If you’re into classic, comfortable shoes, you’ll be happy to hear that Gen Z has decided UGGs are trendy again.
Young people specifically seem to love the Ultra Mini Platform style of the cozy fall shoes. Videos about them collectively have 20.3 million views on TikTok.
They’re typically styled with more casual outfits that include sweaters, bike shorts, and sweatpants, but some members of Gen Z have also been styling them with jeans and skirts for fall.
You’ll probably start noticing off-the-shoulder shirts everywhere.
The tops are the perfect transition pieces between summer and fall, and Gen Z can’t get enough of them.
So far, videos about the trend have 17 million total views on TikTok, and stores like H&M and Target have started selling the blouses. Gen Z has been using them to level up simple outfits, like jeans with platform shoes.
When it comes to pants this fall, Gen Z will be wearing baggy jeans.
Gen Z fashion is all about comfort this season, and what’s more comfortable than a pair of loose-fitting jeans?
Many young people have been styling the pants with other popular fall trends, like ballet flats and off-the-shoulder tops, while others have been using them to create entirely baggy looks (think wide-legged pants with an oversized blazer on top).
