Now that the weather outside is finally starting to cool down, and we’re changing our Starbucks orders from iced lattes to hot, it’s officially fall! Even though this isn’t the fall season that anyone expected, that doesn’t mean your closet has to suffer! From one fashionista to another, I’ve compiled a list of 5 must-have pieces for this fall. Happy shopping y’all!!

1. Sweater Vests

I would have never expected sweater vests to become a trend this fall! This piece has reinvented itself into something you’d see a model wearing on your Instagram feed. I absolutely love this trend; it can take any basic outfit and elevate it into something extravagant.

2. Shoulder Bag

A small compact handbag, shoulder bags are perfect for every occasion. This accessory can easily go with any outfit, whether it’s a quick run to your local coffee shop, or even just taking photos for your Instagram feed, this is definitely a must-have for this fall. I have a few shoulder bags of my own and I absolutely love them!

3. Knit Sets

Knit sets, but make it ~fashion~. Comfortable and cute, I’m so happy to see knitwear becoming a trend this fall!! Knit sets are so comfortable, yet wearing the right set can make for a really well put-together look. Although this set from House of Sunny is sold out, this is a perfect example of how innovative knitwear has become this season.  

4. Knee High Boots

I’ve seen these boots all over my Instagram feed! From celebrities to influencers, everyone is absolutely obsessing over these shoes. I would definitely pair it with different textures such as snakeskin and leather to really make a statement with these shoes!

5. Bucket Hats

Last but not least is a hat to accessorize your trendy looks!! A bucket hat is a perfect addition to any streetwear look; it elevates any casual look. This is a timeless look to stay stylish and comfortable; it also covers the bad hair days we all get every once in a while. :)
