How TikTok Influenced Fall 2022 Fashion Predictions

Fall – one of the best seasons for fashion – is quickly approaching. From chunky sweaters and coats to a mix of cool tones and shades of brown, fall fashion has a lot to offer. We also get back pumpkin spice lattes, so that’s a plus. TikTok is already ahead of the Fall 2022 fashion trends and predictions have been appearing since August, even creating some itself through viral videos featuring a certain piece or style. I have yet again fallen for these recommendations and made purchases just because someone told me to buy them off TikTok and let me tell you: I think these on-the-rise trends are going to come full force in the fashion industry and I can’t wait to keep styling them this season.

Sporty Sunglasses

I can admit the minute these silver, alien-looking style glasses became trending, I had to snag a pair on Amazon. They frame one’s face so well and Tik Tok influenced me and many others to buy multiple pairs. Balenciaga was one of the first brands to come out with the iconic silver sport glasses that were controversial for their quirky “alien-like” look. Now, every brand is mimicking these glasses, making them for every price range.

2. Cowboy Boots

Cowboy boots have taken over the fashion industry, and I’m not mad about it. One of my favorite ways to style cowboy boots is with a mini dress and oversized blazer or coat. I love a red boot moment like the ones pictured below. The pop of red combined with the neutrals of the blazer and the silk dress complement each other well and form a casual but sleek look.

3. Birkenstock Boston Clog

This item may be very controversial at the moment, but I think they are a must for fall – especially with light-wash jeans and an oversized knit sweater. Camille Charriere, a Contributing Editor at Elle UK, styled her Boston clogs in the picture below with dark wash jeans and a black knit sweater. Pairing neutrals together creates a traditional fall color palate but with a new, trendy item.

4. Maxi skirt with an Oversized T-shirt

The denim maxi skirt has been skyrocketing to the top of TikTok’s algorithm. I’ve noticed a pattern that they always pair the maxi skirt with an oversized t-shirt, and it works so well as an unexpected duo‌. A great rule of thumb is pairing an oversized skirt with an oversized shirt, or vice-versa for form fitting.

5. Balenciaga’s Le Cagole Shoulder Bag

From Alexa Demie to Kendall Jenner, many celebrities have been photographed recently with this iconic bag. It is the perfect leather braided shoulder bag, and I love how Balenciaga included such a variety of materials, eccentric colors, and shapes. There’s an assortment of dupes available.
