How To Infuse the Fisherman Aesthetic Into Your Wardrobe and Home This Fall
As you probably already know, the fisherman aesthetic is what all the cool girls are wearing this season. It’s the perfect trendy yet classic vibe to transition coastal gals into fall and winter.
We already did a deep dive into what the Fisherman Aesthetic is in our last blog post, but today we are going to discuss how to infuse the Fisherman Aesthetic into your wardrobe and home this fall.
To accomplish this, we need to think like easy-breezy Fisherman girlies this fall. Everything about this trend screams comfort, so let’s break it down into 8 categories to help you full send into Fisherman Fall.
1. Color
First, we must talk about color! For the fisherman trend, we are seeing a lot of cozy earth tones and neutrals paired with pops of bright primary colors like red and yellow. A lot of looks include monochromatic whites or neutrals with the addition of a colorful jacket or accessories. This makes it super easy to mix and match the classic staple pieces that are already in your wardrobe with a few trendier colors or accessories.
2. Pattern
Pattern is another important element of the Fisherman Aesthetic. Stripes are a must, of course, as well as gingham and plaid. Faire Isle sweaters or a houndstooth blazer would also work really well into this trend, especially as we approach late fall/early winter.
There are also a lot of fun, preppy patterns that go along with this trend, especially on tops/sweaters. These include fish, American flags, crabs, oysters, lobsters - anything nautical works great here! Adding a little bit of pattern to a neutral look can really bring the fisherman aesthetic to life.
3. Fabric
Cozy is the name of the game for the Fisherman trend, and you can’t go wrong with soft cotton, wool, or cashmere fabrics. Denim, corduroy, and tweed are also fisherman aesthetic essentials.
4. Silhouettes
Looser-fitting silhouettes are the move if you want to perfectly emulate the fisherman aesthetic. Flowy dresses and skirts, wider leg pants, barrel leg jeans, and layered pieces level up this trend.
5. Accessories
In our opinion, there are a few essential accessories that everyone needs to serve the perfect fisherman aesthetic fits.[1] Including a fun fish-themed claw clip, pretty pearlescent jewelry, a boat bag, coastal bag charms, and a colorful beanie or baseball cap is a great way to showcase this trend.
6. Shoes
The fisherman aesthetic isn’t complete without the perfect pair of shoes! We love colorful rain boots (tall or short) and rain jackets for this trend. Birkenstock slides, brown leather shoes, Chelsea boots, or chunky mules are all perfect for this trend.
7. Home Decor
This fall, we are looking for the magic in everyday life and trying to add whimsy to otherwise monotonous tasks. Adding some candles and cute, cozy nautical decor to our homes really helps to bring the laid-back and peaceful fisherman aesthetic energy into the space.
Go thrifting for a few cottagey nautical prints, cuddle up with a soft knit blanket, or set up a little coffee and tea bar to make your afternoon caffeine dose a bit more whimsical. Don’t forget that stripes, gingham, coastal prints, and chunky knits also go great in your home, not just your wardrobe, and create a comfy atmosphere.
8. Activities
Doing activities that embrace a peaceful fisherman lifestyle are going to be great for your mental health. This season, instead of complaining about how dark it is at 5 pm (we’re preaching to ourselves here, too!), why not set up a moody little nook with candles and read that book you have been meaning to pick up all year?
Take advantage of the sunshine and get outside for a walk or hike as often as possible. Sitting in a park, taking in the Vitamin D is great too! Pick out a nice fall-scented candle to make the house smell nice. Call your parents, siblings, or best friend to catch up. Make a delicious pot of soup or chili with all the fixin’s. It’s all about the hygge vibes and romanticising life, so prioritize activities that make you happy and remember that you’re allowed to say, “no”, to things sometimes!
Hopefully, this list will help you on your journey to infuse the fisherman aesthetic into your home and life this fall! Happy cozy season, girlfriends!
