This past summer, from June 24th to 27th, the fashion world descended on pre-Olympics Paris for Fall/Winter 2024–2025 Fashion Week. Here at FEBE, part of what we’re passionate about is translating the haute couture into wearable, daily styles for women of all ages.

We’re pleased to share with you FEBE’s favorites for Fall 2024: what we’re loving, what the most stylish women (our customers, of course!) are wearing around New Orleans, and how to keep your outfits fresh this fall. 

Cozy up in Luxurious Sweaters

It's sweater season! Whether you’re in the mood for wool, lambswool (a softer wool sourced from younger sheep), alpaca, cashmere, or a blend, our shop is stocked — online and in-store — with the finest designer sweaters made from natural materials. Wear layered under a light coat, or thrown over your shoulders for a cozy pop of color. 

Below is a collection of some of our favorite sweaters right now, from Rag & Bone, Brochu Walker, Proenza Schouler, and Nili Lotan:

EMME V NECK SWEATER by BROCHU WALKER

Rich, Deep Autumn Hues

Which colors to keep an eye out for fall 2024 fashion? Deep reds, olive green, and rich browns are the colors we recommend, whether opaque or sheer. Match the classic hues of fall, reminiscent of crisp weather, pumpkin spice lattes, knee-high boots, jack-o-lanterns, and evening football games. But note that standards like cream, white, and black will always have a place in any FEBE woman’s wardrobe. 

For a taste of the season’s most sought-after shades, we suggest these beautiful pieces from Nili Lotan, Simkhai, and Brochu Walker:

KATE BELTED DRESS VEGAN LEATHER by BROCHU WALKER

 

Metallics are Back, Baby!

With the return of styles from the 90s and (dare we say it?) the 2000s, we’re seeing plenty of pops of metallic textures, color, and material. We love incorporating one metallic piece — whether a shoe, handbag, or sweater — as a way to playfully engage with this cutting-edge trend. 

Here’s what we’re loving, from the brands hopping on the metallic movement — notably, Loeffler Randall, Rupert Sanderson, Veronica Beard, and L’Agence:

BILLIE FLAP SHOULDER BAG by LOEFFLER RANDALL

OTRANTO SILVER by RUPERT SANDERSON

NAXOS CROMATO by RUPERT SANDERSON

CREST LOCK TOP HANDLE BAG by VERONICA BEARD

More than Metallic — Studs! 

Studded details and accessories are having a moment this fall. We’re seeing shoes, belts, handbags, and even dresses adorned with studs and grommets. For an everyday interpretation of this punk-inspired trend, try pairing one studded piece with soft, feminine silhouettes and textures.

Ready to take a walk on the wild side? We’ve curated a selection of studded pieces from Rag & Bone, Loeffler Randall, Rachel Comey, L’Agence, and Figue.

Elevated Outerwear

It goes without saying that elevated outerwear, like structured and printed jackets, are a timeless fall wardrobe staple. These coats can be worn year-round, for a sophisticated style that’s perfect for the cool autumn weather (or a New Orleans winter, if we’re being honest about our climate!). 

We’re loving Nili Lotan, Veronica Beard, Isabel Marante Etoile, and Rag & Bone for versatile and elevated fall-into-winter outerwear: 

MACKENSY COAT by ISABEL MARANT ETOILE

CASSIDY JACKET by RAG & BONE

 

Western Wear

Maybe it’s Bella Hadid dating a cowboy and closing New York Fashion Week 2024 by horseback riding in New York City’s Meatpacking District, or Lana Del Rey marrying a Louisiana swamp boat captain, but sturdy, comfy western-inspired clothing is the latest trend everyone is adopting. Translate this look into your own wardrobe with the classic “Canadian tuxedo” of a denim-on-denim ensemble, or play it safe with a stylish cowboy boot.

Ready to try on this trend? We suggest Veronica Beard, Isabel Marant Etoile, Alemais, Staud, and Simkhai:

ADERES SHIRT by VERONICA BEARD

DUERTO BOOTS by ISABEL MARANT ETOILE

LUCY SHIRT by ALEMAIS

WESTERN WALLY ANKLE BOOT by STAUD

CLAIRE MINI DRESS W/ FRINGE by SIMKHAI

Retro Elegance

Vintage-inspired shapes from the 50s and 60s, with a decidedly modern twist, are making a comeback this fall in the form of shirt dresses, bubble skirts, dramatic bell sleeves, plaids, Mary Janes, buckle shoes, and heeled penny loafers. These fun, feminine, and above all comfortable shapes are flattering on all body types, and we can’t wait to help our FEBE customers refine this latest trend to fit their daily lives. 

Designers offering elegant, retro looks this fall include Chie Mihara, ByTimo, Shoshanna, Essentiel Antwerp, and Nili Lotan — along with plenty of others, in our New Orleans shop and online!
