This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at McMaster chapter.

With the warm months coming to an end, the season for cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, and apple picking has finally arrived. The shift to fall also means it’s time to change up your wardrobe in preparation for the fast-approaching colder months. Fall is arguably the trendiest season, so for those of you who may not be as fashion forward but still want to look cute this season, this article is just for you! You may have no idea where to start but no need to worry, outlined below are five fall fashion staples so that you can have all the cutest outfits for the coming season!

 

Sherpa Jackets

First up, Sherpa Jackets! These jackets are somehow the perfect combination of cute, warm and comfy, making it great for this weather. You can get them in a variety of colours and styles – check out this one from Aritzia! It’s a simple sherpa jacket that you can throw over a tank top or T-shirt and pair with some jeans and sneakers to create a trendy fall outfit.

 

Trench Coat

Looking for a coat to wear to work or a formal event? Look no further! Trench coats have been all over social media the last few years and are a staple piece for any fall wardrobe, especially with the level of maturity they bring to your outfits. For formal events, throw a trench coat over your dress to keep your outfit cute while also keeping you warm. You can also wear it over a business casual work outfit of heels, trousers and a silk tank top. They tend to be pricey but are almost always worth every penny. Black, tan or grey are easy for pairing with any outfit, but there are options if you want a pop of colour. Here’s another Aritzia favourite to check out!

 

Ankle Boots

Fall is the perfect time to pull out your ankle booties. High heel, flat, leather or suede, it’s all trendy! If you want to spice up an outfit, then throw on some booties, it’s as simple as that. They’re perfect to pair with some jeans and a cozy sweater to make it look like you spent all morning planning your outfit. Black booties are a great staple, but if you want to step away from neutral colours, throwing on a pair of red booties is a great way to do so!

 

Blanket Scarf

Blanket scarves are a great addition to any basic sweater or T-shirt. This fun accessory takes your outfit to a whole new level and gives off a trendy fall vibe to any basic shirt. Not sure how to complete the rest of the outfit? Add some jeans or leggings, and your booties from before and you are good to go! 

 

Flannel/Plaid

Anything plaid or flannel screams fall. Flannel shirts, plaid scarves, and even plaid pants. Plaid is a great way to add some pattern and colour to any fall outfit. Try an oversized flannel with a plain black or white tank top underneath, some jeans, and sneakers! It’s the ultimate casual fall outfit for any get together, or even a Thanksgiving dinner when you want to look stylish but feel comfortable. Throw on some plaid pants to spice up a business casual work outfit! Here’s an oversized flannel and plaid pants to try out!
