Promise.Getty ImagesAs a teenager, my ideal version of a Friday night was staying in with a magazine, tearing open scratch-and-sniff perfume samples, and taking love-compatibility quizzes. But my favorite section was always the street style. What did Paris Hilton don to Les Deux? Did Madonna wear the new Nike sneakers to the Tracy Anderson Method? With each celeb shot and style breakdown, I, too, felt like I could wear those exact trends (just like the stars!).Over a decade later, I’m still enamored with the world of magazines—except now, I’m the one writing the style stories. Now that summer is ending, my full attention is on fall street style: decoding the trends celebrities are already wearing and figuring out how to make them work for the months to come.Leading into fall, I’ve noticed my favorite celebrity style muses leaning into relaxed, personality-driven pieces and moving away from minimalist quiet luxury. As things cool off, I’m predicting more aughts-inspired looks, with throwback graphic tees, alongside cozy but still trendy footwear like slipper mules. After all, that’s what fall fashion is all about: getting a little comfier.If you’re a street style aficionado like me, keep reading for the fall trends I’m stealing now, straight from celebrities like Taylor Swift, Zoë Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, and more.Low-Rise JeansXNY/Star Max//Getty ImagesBritney Spears’ signature low-rise denim (think 2002’s Crossroads) has found its way into 2026—but they’re not exactly like you remember. A departure from their early-aughts rhinestone-and-paisley designs, this season’s low-rise jeans feature simple light-washed hues and flare-leg silhouettes. Celebrities like Zoë Kravitz are making them feel more current with coveted style hallmarks, like bubble sunglasses and slouchy bags.Shop Low-Rise JeansAnimal-Print BagsXNY/Star Max//Getty ImagesAnimal-print bags remain one of the simplest ways to elevate an outfit—and Kaia Gerber knows it, styling her ‘90s-inspired black slip dress with the Fendi tiger-print Baguette from the Fall 2026 collection. Meanwhile, Chanel’s cheetah-print bags are gaining significant traction across social media. For a styling trick that feels straight off the runway, combine two clashing animal prints to create intentional style disruption.Shop Animal-Print BagsGraphic TeesDustin Satloff//Getty ImagesLindsay Lohan helped spearhead the aughts graphic-tee phenomenon, but Taylor Swift is keeping the look in the fashion rotation, wearing a blue-and-orange “Stevie Knicks” tee to the NBA finals. Graphic tees don’t only offer stylish people a way to signal what’s on their mind without whispering a word, but they’re easily layered—making it a great option for fall. Slip a long-sleeve shirt beneath your statement tee, or throw a lightweight jacket over it. A graphic tee is no longer a last-minute resort on laundry day, but a deliberate choice.Shop Graphic TeesSlipper MulesDUTCH/Bauer-Griffin//Getty ImagesIf you’ve ever wanted to wear your slippers out and about, this trend is for you. The low-profile slipper mule brings cozy wherever you go, serving as a cool-girl alternative to ballet flats (just ask Hailey Bieber). But these aren’t your plush, fuzzy-lined slip-ons; they’re sleek and refined, often spotted in satin, mesh, or suede. Need more convincing? Both Conner Ives and Calvin Klein featured the polished silhouette on their 2026 runways.Shop Slipper MulesPolka-Dot PrintXNY/Star Max//Getty ImagesPolka dots are holding on, with designers like Jacquemus embracing oversized dots for the brand’s fall 2026 line. My favorite part? You can sport the print in the form of a dress, headband, or even a jacket to make it your own. Take a cue from Dua Lipa this fall, styling a polka-dot dress with knee-high boots and an oversized leather bomber jacket.Shop Polka-Dot PrintTrack JacketsXNY/Star Max//Getty ImagesJackets are practically synonymous with fall, but few top layers are as cool as the track jacket. The retro trend nods to the Juicy zip-ups of yore, but still touches on more modern sensibilities with sporty stripes and swooshy nylon. Style track jackets with shorts like Rihanna (try a lace-trimmed pair for visual tension), swapping them for trousers and boots as the weather cools.Shop Track JacketsRuby Ford-Dunker (McAuliffe) is a fashion and lifestyle journalist featured in Vogue, InStyle, Elle, Who What Wear, Marie Claire, Brides, the New York Post, Business Insider, and more.
