Fall Outfit Idea: Shades of Brown The color brown, in just about all of its forms, is set to be everywhere this season, so get cozy with the hue. Layer it, go for a monochrome look, or mix-and-match different shades. Fall Outfit Idea: Bubble SilhouettesGet voluminous with bubble hems, full skirts, and puffy pants. Fall Outfit Idea: Midi Skirt & Tall Boots A patterned midi skirt is perfect for when it’s a tad too cool for a shorter hemline. Pair it with tall moto boots to add more interest to your outfit. Fall Outfit Idea: Midi Skirt & Hiking Boots Add even more edge to your midi skirt and boot combo with a pair of Timberlands or any other hiking boot of your choosing. Fall Outfit Idea: Blazer & Baggy Jeans Elevate your favorite T-shirt and jeans with a cool-weather-ready blazer. We like the oversized pinstripe look here, but don’t be afraid to try other colors, patterns, and silhouettes. Fall Outfit Idea: Gingham Suit The gingham print has been huge this spring and summer, so it would be understandable if you’re not quite ready to leave it behind with the warmer temperatures. Try the pattern in darker shades — like the black-and-white here —in seasonal outfits, like a pantsuit. Fall Outfit Idea: Gingham Capri Pants If a full gingham outfit is too much for you, opt for the pattern on a pair of slacks instead. Even better: a pair of on-trend capri pants (which you can wear over tights in cooler temperatures), that have also made a comeback this year. Fall Outfit Idea: Button-Up Shirt, Capri Pants, & Platform Heels Or dress up your capri pants with a crisp button-up shirt and a pair of platform heels.Fall Outfit Idea: Oversized Button-Up Shirt & Clogs Are capri pants too divisive of a revived trend for you? How about a pair of clogs instead? Style them for fall with an oversized button-up shirt and a pair of cropped jeans, like those seen here.Fall Outfit Idea: Embellished Denim Denim is an autumn staple, so why not stand out from the crowd with an all-jean ’fit embellished with sparkle? Fall Outfit Idea: Leopard-Print Maxi Dress & Leather Jacket Bring the leopard-print trend into fall by adding biker flare to a sleek maxi dress with a leather jacket. Fall Outfit Idea: Leopard Print Jacket If a full leopard print look veers a bit too far from your comfort zone, opt for a jacket in the trendy pattern that's easier to style. Fall Outfit Idea: Snakeskin-Print Dress Or if you feel like you’ve been wearing too much leopard print, why not keep things in the animal family with a snakeskin print? We love the off-the-shoulder silhouette of the midi dress seen here.Fall Outfit Idea: Maxi Dress & Cardigan Extend the life of your favorite summer maxi dresses by adding a cardigan — fluffy or not — on top. Fall Outfit Idea: Trench Coat & Silk ScarfA trench coat in the fall is never a bad idea. Add a touch more personality to yours by accessorizing with a silk or satin scarf wrapped around your neck, hair, or even handbag.Fall Outfit Idea: Leather Trench Coat What’s more of a fall fashion staple than a good trench coat? A leather trench coat, naturally. Fall Outfit Idea: Patchwork Jacket Patchwork denim has already been huge this year, so why not bring the aesthetic to your fall wardrobe with a ’90s-esque jacket.Fall Outfit Idea: Waistcoat & Turtleneck Waistcoats (and vests) are another fashion item that have been filling our feeds this summer. Layer yours over a fitted turtleneck to take this trend into fall and winter. Fall Outfit Idea: Sporty Jumpsuit Keep things sporty, casual, and comfortable in an athletic jumpsuit. Add layers to the look for extra warmth and versatility. Fall Outfit Idea: Long-Sleeve Dress & Colored Tights Long-sleeved dresses are a no-brainer the further we get into fall. Style yours
