Embracing Fall Fashion: Trends to Watch and How They Honor Our Military Roots
As the leaves begin to turn and the air grows crisp, we enter one of the most exciting seasons in fashion—Fall. Layering pieces, rich colors, and versatile accessories define the season, but at R. Riveter, Fall isn’t just about staying stylish. It's about connecting fashion to something deeper—our community’s military roots and the stories of strength, resilience, and craftsmanship that bind us.
Fall Fashion Trends to Watch
This season, fashion is making a statement with comfort, durability, and timeless pieces that pay homage to both the past and the future. Here are some of the trends we’re loving, all of which resonate with R. Riveter's mission and craftsmanship.
1. Earthy Tones and Camouflage
Fall wouldn’t be complete without a color palette that reflects the season’s natural beauty. This year, earthy tones like olive green, burnt orange, and deep browns are dominating the runway. For us, these shades also evoke the landscapes our military service members often operate in, from dense forests to desert terrains.
This Fall, we're introducing a Limited Edition print called the Boho Sunset. The Dot and Mini Lucy are available in this print, starting on September 12th, 2024.
2. Structured Bags
Bags are taking on a more structured look this Fall, with clean lines and functional design reigning supreme. The structured bag trend ties perfectly into the R. Riveter collection, where every piece is meticulously crafted by military spouses across the country. Our bags are more than just accessories—they are symbols of strength and resilience. They carry the spirit of military families, who know the importance of both form and function in everyday life.

3. Layering Essentials
The art of layering comes alive during Fall, and this season we’re seeing a focus on layering essential, timeless pieces like crewneck sweatshirts, knit sweaters, and lightweight scarves. These are the kinds of wardrobe staples that can transition from season to season, much like the adaptability that is key to military life. Just as military families must be ready to adapt to new environments and challenges, Fall’s layering trend speaks to the need for pieces that are versatile and enduring.
How Fall Fashion Connects to Our Military Community
At R. Riveter, fashion isn’t just about trends—it’s about purpose. Every bag and accessory we create is handmade by military spouses, embodying the core values of strength, adaptability, and perseverance. This Fall, the trends we’re seeing echo these same values, with pieces that emphasize utility, durability, and timelessness—qualities that resonate deeply within the military community.
Honoring Resilience Through Craftsmanship
Much like the work that goes into making our handbags, the Fall season requires thoughtful preparation and craftsmanship. Just as the military operates with precision and care, so do the artisans behind every R. Riveter piece. This season, we encourage you to choose pieces that not only align with current trends but also have deeper meaning. Our bags, made by military spouses, are crafted with the same resilience and determination that define the military lifestyle.
Carrying Forward the Legacy
Fashion is ever-evolving, but at its core, it tells a story. The trends we’re seeing this Fall—the structured designs, earthy tones, and functional elements—all reflect a story of strength and readiness. These are values ingrained in military culture and passed on through every R. Riveter product. When you carry an R. Riveter bag, you’re not just carrying a piece of fashion—you’re carrying a piece of history, a piece of resilience, and a piece of the military spouse community.
Style with Purpose
This Fall, as you update your wardrobe with the latest trends, remember that fashion can be more than just a reflection of style—it can be a reflection of values. At R. Riveter, we believe in creating pieces that are as strong and enduring as the military spouses who craft them. Whether it’s through utility-inspired outerwear, structured bags, or earthy tones, let this season’s trends remind you of the strength and resilience that is at the heart of our military community.
So, as you step into Fall, embrace fashion that carries a purpose. When you wear an R. Riveter piece, you’re not just staying on trend—you’re supporting a mission, honoring a community, and carrying forward a legacy of strength.
