Although it is the most beautiful season, fall can be one of the hardest seasons to dress for. The mornings are cold and the afternoons warm. There are days where it feels like summer, and there are days where it feels like winter. However, if you want to dress in style, all while staying comfortable, here are some fall fashion must haves!

A Comfy Pair of Overalls 

To make a statement this fall, invest in a pair of overalls. Incredibly versatile, overalls can be worn almost any which way you chose. I recommend a cute turtleneck to be worn underneath for those chilly fall days that are still too warm for jackets. 

 

Dress your overalls up by pairing them with a pair of low heels and a cute belt! You can get these overalls at Madewell!

A Warm Sweater Dress

Sweater dresses are a fall fashion staple that will never go out of style. These classic pieces can be worn on cool fall days. The perk? You’ll stay warm while also showing off your feminine side. Sweater dresses come in varied styles, giving you the freedom to pick one that makes you feel most beautiful. 

 

Want to make your sweater dress warmer? Try a pair of tights underneath to protect your legs from the fall breeze. You can purchase this dress at Lulu’s

 

A Long Skirt With A Fun Print

Dressing for the fall can sometimes feel like a bore. Cute clothes don’t always provide the most warmth. This is why I love long skirts. They maintain femininity and warmth at the same time. While a denim skirt may go with anything, a skirt with a fun pattern will also provide excitement in your everyday outfits. 

 

To create a unique look, try to mix patterns! This skirt can be purchased at Anthropologie

Make Power Moves in a Pantsuit

Picture this: it’s fall and you are a young professional woman. What is the best outfit you could throw on? A pantsuit of course! These pre-styled fashion statements will keep you covered and looking your best. 

 

For a bit of added flare, try a belt and a colorful pair of heels! You can purchase this pantsuit from H&M

A Flowing Fall Blouse

Blouses might just be one of the most underrated clothing items. Investing in a good blouse is like investing in a million different outfit options. These dressed-up shirts can be paired with skirts, jeans, and your decorative pants. 

 

Add a blazer and heels to your blouse and jeans combo for a casual office look. This blouse can be purchased at American Eagle

A Cozy Sweater Perfect To Curl Up In

Cue The Neighborhood, because it is Sweater Weather. This fall staple is the perfect top for sitting in class, or curling up in bed with a book and a cup of hot apple cider (the best fall drink). Plus, the cheetah print on this sweater will be sure to get compliments. 

 

Don’t know how you want to wear your sweater? Pair with matching booties and black jeans or leggings. This sweater can be purchased from Francesca’s.

The Cutest Fall Booties That Are Sure To Turn Heads

Booties are a must have for fall. Stylish and closed toed, you’re sure to fall in love with this shoe style. Booties can be worn with almost any outfit, so having a few pairs of these will only increase the value of your closet. 

 

Style these booties any way you want with any outfit! My favorite way is with a pair of jeans and a nice top. This pair can be purchased from JustFab

An Adorable Scarf to Accessorize With AND Stay Warm

Scarves do not get the recognition the deserve. Versatile and cute, scarves can be worn with any outfit. Plus, scarves will keep you warm as you walk to class without being big and bulky. 

 

For a fun twist on an old outfit, add a matching scarf! This one can be purchased from Mandee

A Chic Coat That Will Make You Look Like A Boss

The worst part about the seasons changing is the need to start wearing coats. However, this coat will take all the dread of the cold away with its effortlessly New York chic look. The length and print gives an added boss girl flare.

 

Throw this coat on over your favorite jeans, tee and heel combo for a casual business look. This coat can be purchased at Forever 21.

You are now ready to dress for the fall. So get dressed, go out, and be the best boss girl you can.
