Gone are the lazy summer days when we could just walk out in a slip dress or a button-down with shorts. Indeed, as we inch closer and closer to cooler temperatures, now is the time to start getting excited about our fall wardrobes.
1. Cozy Colors
Now that we've had our fill of summer whites and nautical navy, it's time to make way in our wardrobe for the warmth and coziness of autumnal colors. Of course, there's nothing wrong with the minimalist colors of summer all year long. Still, there's also something undeniably chic about wearing burnt oranges, rugby reds, and woodsy neutrals for the fall season. Choosing more worn-in hues gives your look a more romantic charm in contrast to more super-saturated, attention-grabbing options.
2. Chic Car Coats
There are plenty of coats to choose from this fall, so why not go for one that looks both sophisticated and modern? Enter the car coat. While this style may have been introduced for overall coverage when driving was considered an outdoor sport, the coat has evolved over the years to become typically shorter in length and more sleek and streamlined in design.
3. Witty Knits
Come fall, it's hard to resist the siren song of a yummy knit dress, sweater, or skirt. Knitted pieces are the perfect transitional wardrobe staple to help you find warmth in the chillier months ahead. However, this season, we recommend reaching for knits that have a bit of wit in their designs. Whether it's a one-sleeved sweater or an asymmetrical skirt, there are endless possibilities when choosing an interesting knit to add to your sartorial arsenal.
4. Rich Velvet
As the temperatures start to drop, it can be easy to find eveningwear that's both warm and cool to look at. That's where velvet comes in handy. This gorgeous fabric is a timeless fall staple that makes a great addition to any outfit. Need proof? Take a plain long-sleeved shift jumpsuit, for example, and it instantly looks sophisticated when made from gorgeous velvet.
5. Relaxed Tailoring
Whether you're headed to the office or leisurely strolling down the city sidewalk, a tailored suit is perfect for any occasion. Skinny suits feel too constraining for everyday wear, while oversized, baggy suits look a bit too haphazard; that's why we prefer the perfect medium of relaxed cuts that seem to float on the body. For maximum visual impact, choose a contrasting color when picking out a shirt and accessories to pair with your suit.
6. Double Denim
Denim may have roots as humble workwear, but it can make for an effortlessly cool outfit. To take things up an extra notch, try doubling down on your denim for a dramatic, monochromatic moment.
7. Oversized Options
Nothing makes us want to curl up on our couch and wrap ourselves in a cozy blanket like fall weather. But alas, we still have to get dressed, so we might as well be comfortable doing so. That's why we'll never say never to an oversized sweater and pant combo. And just because something is easy to throw on doesn't mean it can't be stylish. Pieces with sumptuous textures and hefty weight are guaranteed to be worth the investment.
So, if you're searching for fashion to fawn over, look no further as we list seven fall outfit ideas you can start prepping now.
