KARE 11 chief meteorologist Belinda Jensen teams up with style expert Jodi Mayers each fall for the Style Edina fashion show. Mayers — a managing partner at J. Hilburn Men's Clothier and consultant for Stella & Dot Family Brands — brings a practical lens to trend coverage: "Not all trends are for all people. Thoughtfully pick and choose what you embrace." Together they presented five wearable trends for fall and winter, all shoppable at Edina's retail districts.
The Style Edina show took place September 25, 2022 at the Westin Edina Galleria, with proceeds benefiting Edina Give and Go.
Trend 1: Earthy and Warm Hues
Minnesota's natural landscape sets the palette: dark and vibrant greens anchor a warm spectrum that includes rust, marigold, burgundy, copper, amber, coral, salmon, and rhubarb. These are colors that work across a full range of pieces — a rust blazer, a marigold knit, a burgundy leather boot — and they age well into the winter months without feeling seasonal.

Trend 2: Elevated Outdoors
Fair Isle knits, shift dresses, and packable puffers define the elevated outdoors look — functional without looking purely utilitarian. Footwear follows suit: loafers and boots with lugged soles offer genuine traction for Minnesota winters while maintaining a dressed-up sensibility.

Trend 3: Preppy / Collegiate
Classic prints — houndstooth, stripes, plaid — pair with varsity sweatshirts and knitted vests for a collegiate look that's both nostalgic and modern. White button-downs layer under leather jackets or trench coats, with equestrian-inspired boots and colorful loafers providing the finishing touch.

Trend 4: Oversized Denim
The silhouette shift is real and lasting: relaxed, roomier denim replaces the skinny jean as the default. Pair with graphic tees, button-downs, or flannel shirts, and ground the look with combat boots or platform soles.

Trend 5: Leather
Real, faux, suede, and vegan leather are all having a moment — showing up in trench coats, bomber jackets, blazers, jumpsuits, and button-down shirts. The material adds edge to almost any outfit and works across the full cool-weather range from September through March.
