Although the sharp, fresh air of autumn permits us to layer and layer our attractive clothes, to fetch back our beloved leather boots from under the closet, and to bring forward our cashmere sweaters to the surface of our wardrobes, it is by no means a wonder that fall is always enlisted as one of the favorite dressing-up seasons among the connoisseurs of fashion. To predict this season’s best fall fashion trends, we consulted three Canadian content creators renowned for their keen eye for style. Here’s how Zhanna Redneva, Zahra Hassan, and Bridget Brown think autumnal colour palettes, must-have prints, and the looks you can bet your bottom dollar will haunt them.
Zhanna Redneva
Zhanna Redneva is one to watch for major model-off-duty style inspiration, being the creator of a viral catwalk series on TikTok and countless trendy get-dressed-with-me posts on Instagram. The fact that she is actually an actual model speaks for itself. For the -ber months, Redneva plans to play with rich colors and fun fabrics. “Fall fashion is especially exciting to me because it’s my birthday season. My style is generally very colourful—and the colder months aren’t a reason to start shying away from that! To me, fall is a very rich season, so I’m going to opt for shades like mustard yellow, plum and hues of red and forest green,” says the influencer. “I’m really looking forward to mixing these shades with textures like suede and fringe. Suede has been building organically this season, but the real excitement for me is that I will get to dress up such a great warm, fuzzy texture in ways it’s never been seen before, coupled with colorful knits to create the perfect recipe for fall fashion. Fall should be fun—and I intend to do just that by layering textures with color.”

Zahra Hassan
Though affectionately known offline as Ms. Hassan to her adoring students, online Zahra Hassan is known as “Miss Wondrous Soul” to more than 100,000 followers on TikTok, where her daily outfit posts, often filmed in her own classroom, have racked up millions of views. Continuing to push the envelope and represent the new generation of educators with ultra-cool fashion sense, Hassan is upping her 2024 autumnal wardrobe with denim, animal print, and versatile neutrals. “Denim on denim is a forever favourite, but this season, I’m all about rocking a fresh, cropped denim jacket set. And let’s talk animal prints! I’ve got my eyes on oversized cheetah print cargos to add a fierce flair to my look. Plus, who doesn’t love a good earth-tone layering moment? This fall, I’m into playing with those versatile hues and mixing things up in style.”

Bridget Brown
When she’s not documenting her latest thrift store finds or talking followers through her outfit details via her socials, you’ll find Bridget Brown collecting pre-loved pieces and curating small-batch collections for her online vintage shop, Augusta. For fall, this vintage aficionado is eyeing one colour trend in particular that can be styled from head to toe in all of your favourite seasonal textiles—and shopped anywhere. “A trend I am really looking forward to this fall is ‘mellow yellow.’ Butter yellow had a huge moment over the summer months and is going to transition into a little more of a tan tone for the fall. I do believe we will see this a lot in leather and suede forms-from full looks to bags and accessories,” shares Brown.
