As the sun sets on summer’s warm embrace, there’s no need to cool down your autumn style. It’s the season to infuse some zest, and we’re not just referring to adding pumpkin spice to your latte (though we’re thrilled that this seasonal treat has finally returned to our beloved coffee spots).
When it comes to beauty, summer often demands a less-is-more approach — opting for a lighter foundation, minimal eye makeup, and slicked-back hair. With the arrival of fall, it’s time for more daring beauty looks. Since we don’t need to worry about makeup melting off from the summer heat or ruining our hair diving into a pool, we can take the time to create a more pulled-together look.
Following our stint backstage at NYFW, we’ve curated the standout looks from the week, ensuring no model, influencer, or celebrity is overlooked. From the catwalks and streets of New York to your mobile screens, here are the trending styles we believe will capture your heart.
Sleek & Straight Bob
Confirmed: the flat iron has made a comeback, gracing runways and red carpets alike with its sleek, and irresistibly swept-back style. Ideal for those who exude confidence in the boardroom, this look seamlessly combines professionalism with a touch of unexpected allure. We’re all for embracing the bob.
Goddess Braids
Goddess braids (also known as Bohemian braids) are set to dominate this fall. Essentially box braids, but slightly thicker- this ethereal style is ideal for those seeking a protective break from styling and heat, or anyone aiming for that earthy goddess allure.
Birkin Bangs
While we hold a special place for curtain and bottleneck bangs, our latest obsession lies in a different style: Birkin bangs. Inspired by the iconic Jane Birkin, her distinctive fringe is experiencing a resurgence in popularity, inviting everyone to embrace their inner French “cool girl” aesthetic. Much like the bag named in her honor, they never really go out of style- but we know how difficult it can be to style them yourself. So please sit back, relax, and let one of our stylists dry them to perfection while you sip your PSL.
Latte Makeup
The latte makeup trend is all the rage, featuring warm browns and soft bronzes. Popularized by stars like Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid this summer, it’s been a staple for Beyoncé, Zendaya, Jasmine Tookes, and more for years. Unlike fleeting fads, latte makeup is a timeless classic. Its chic, universally flattering hues transition seamlessly from day to night and suit all seasons.
Bold Red Lip
As quoted by T Swift, the queen of pop herself, we’ve “got that red lip classic thing that you like.” Autumn 2023 embraces striking makeup – and what would it be without the red lip? This enduring trend graces runways in various finishes: glossy, matte, and satin. To give the red lip a contemporary twist, consider complementing it with subdued and neutral eye makeup.
Barbie Pink Blush
Even though the Barbie movie may have left theaters, the buzz around it remains vibrant. Expect to see hot pink blush making waves across the beauty scene, and the great thing is, that you can customize it to complement your unique skin tone and desired level of boldness. And for those who are truly passionate about makeup, indulging in the art of bright blush draping, which involves generously applying blush along your cheekbones and temples, promises to satisfy your craving for dramatic flair.
