I just realized something: I haven’t been on a flight for three months. For me, that’s quite a long dry spell. When I can’t travel, I tend to live vicariously through my favorite Instagrammers around the world. (Even if it sparks more than a little envy.) Right now, I’m particularly fascinated by what women are wearing in Portugal because four of my favorite fashion influencers are based there: Rita Montezuma, Vicky Montanari, Mafalda Patrício, and Inês Isaías.

After scouring these ladies’ Instagram accounts, I found a handful of common themes. For instance, they all seem to own one specific outerwear item: a colorful, printed, quilted jacket. It’s a piece of clothing I don’t currently own, but after seeing chic Portuguese women wear it, I’m suddenly convinced I need one in my closet. Scroll down to see and shop the fall trends they’re wearing on repeat.

1. Colorful Quilted Jackets

There are so many jacket styles on the market right now, but if you want to emulate my favorite Portuguese influencers, I highly suggest trying a colorful quilted version. Bonus points if you style it with pieces in contrasting prints.

2. Sweater-Vests

These aren’t your grandpa’s sweater-vests. Rita and Mafalda both like styling printed versions over white long-sleeve tops, and the resulting outfits are pitch-perfect.

3. Biker Boots

Sleek ankle boot will always be in style, but why not go for something a bit more daring this season? Biker boots are a popular choice among women in Portugal right now.

4. XL Hair Scrunchies

Okay, so this trend isn’t necessarily fall-related, but I wanted to include because all four aforementioned ladies wear them. Rita, in particular, styles supersize scrunchies with nearly every outfit.
