As the weather changes, so too do our wardrobes. Out with the light summer dresses and in with cozy fall outfit ideas. I welcome these early fall days, where light jackets and denim reign before the real cold sets in.
For fall, it’s all about the classics—the perfect jean, the staple boot, and a plush knit. Any combination of those, and you are good to run out the door. And to assemble all these pieces together, there’s only one thing you have to keep in mind: proportions. How to make a miniskirt feel more seasonally appropriate? Add tall boots for extra coverage. How to avoid a shapeless silhouette when slipping into an oversized pant? Pair it with a waist-cinching belt. After all, fashion, like everything else in life, is best when it’s in balance.
Below, these and more fall outfit ideas set to inspire.
The Neutral Color Block
Add a modern update to your skirt collection with flowy silhouettes in two-tone finishes. Keep the trending look feeling extra polished by pairing with an extra sweater tied around your neck. And anchor the ensemble in of-the-moment ballerinas.
The Denim Uniform
Make a classic pair of jeans and tucked button-up shirt your go-to uniform this fall. The timeless look is easy to wear on repeat and looks even better with a bright pop of color like the red flats here.
The Versatile Dress
A knit maxi dress will pull double duty in your wardrobe. Wear it alone of bundle up with a leather jacket on cooler days. Plus, this versatile piece can be dressed up with heels or down with sneakers.
The Cool Crochet
Let a bit of summer overflow into the season in the form of a crochet knit. Layer yours with tailored black trousers and a contrasting pair of white flats.
The Relaxed Trousers
Give your polished trousers a carefree touch by pairing them with a casual denim shirt. Bring the look together with a classic belt, pumps, and a standout bag.
The Soft Layers
Have fun piling sweaters over button-up shirts and balance the oversized tops with a modest pair of shorts. Menswear-inspired loafers, and a large woven tote will seal the deal on this winning outfit.
The OTK Boots
For instant rocker chic glamour, pair a sheer blouse with a mini skirt and statement over-the-knee boots. Don’t forget to solidify your outfit with a pair of cool shades.
The Classic Coat
Every fall wardrobe should have a classic trench coat, which pairs wells with anything, especially a great pair of jeans and cap-toe shoes.
The Touch of Texture
Give your crochet tops a fall-appropriate makeover with buttery soft leather jackets and floor-sweeping pleated skirts.
