Okay ladies, it’s that time of year again! Fall, autumn, whatever you wish to call it, it’s here for the next few months and we love it. Why, you might ask? It’s a girl’s fashion heaven with all of our favorite fashion pieces in one season. Read on to find the latest looks and must-have accessories you’ll need to look your best this fall. With these simple items, you’ll be rocking the runway (or your school hallways) in no time.

First up are plaid shirts. Yes, it’s back! A plaid shirt is the perfect casual top to wear for any occasion. Pair this look with leggings, jeans, or even over a little t-shirt dress.

Now let’s take a walk on the wild side and focus on leather— leather jackets, dresses, skirts, tops, pants and boots are in style this fall. Furthermore, for those who think leather is too daring, there are leather trim pants or even jackets with leather sleeves to try. All you need is a hint of leather to perfect your fall outfit. 

Boots, boots, boots! They are finally back in season and we couldn’t be happier. For all you preppy girls, dig out your riding boots from the back of your closet because they are in season once again. For you less preppy girls, pull out your combat boots. For those in need of going out shoes, grab a pair of cute booties– they are chic and fabulous. 

I, personally, have been waiting to wear my beanie since the moment last season ended, so I am more than excited for beanie-season. Curly or straight, long or short…any hairstyle works with a beanie. All the celebrities are wearing them and why wouldn’t they? They’re the perfect accessory to any outfit… or something to throw on when you’re having a bad hair day!

Scarves are my favorite statement piece. With the various different types available, a scarf can be the cherry on top of any outfit. There are infinity scarves, knit scarves, plaid scarves, floral scarves, skull scarves, etc.– you name it, it’s out there. 

Alright, I know you’ve all been waiting for this one– leggings. If you say you don’t like leggings, you are lying. They are only the most comfortable pant on the planet. While the standard all-black legging is a classic look, try restocking your closet with fun, printed leggings or even edgy, leather leggings. They’re just as comfortable– just a little more adventurous.  

 

 

 

Colored jeans are perfect for this season. Some colors include mustard-gold, burgundy, deep green, grey and, of course, your usual dark and light wash jeans. The styles to show off this season include skinny jeans and boyfriend jeans.

 

 

Ah yes, bring out the vests. They look so perfect with those plaid shirts, legging  and riding boots that it just screams, “I’m going to gram myself pumpkin picking.” I say go for it it, girl. When it starts to get a little chillier out, fur vests are the perfect statement piece for bolder look.  

 

With November just around the corner, it’s time to layer up with some trendy (but still warm) jackets. This fall season, try any of these amazing styles.

Big and comfy– that’s how we like it during this brisk weather. Sweaters are the perfect, fall, go-to article of clothing– the bigger and comfier, the better. 

Finally…socks! Whether they are knee high or calf length, a warm pair of socks is the perfect accessory for this fall. Wear them under tall or short boots to complete the look. Your toes will be warm and toasty, but you’ll be staying trendy. 

 

Is your closet stocked with these fall essentials? Don’t worry! There’s still some time to grab some last-minute fall finds. As always, check out Pinterest for more fashion-forward ideas.
