Fall being right around the corner means cooler weather, coffee, leaves, and most importantly cozy Fall fashion! This article will give you my top ten Fall fashion must haves. These clothing pieces are key essentials to my fall wardrobe and can make all the difference to an everyday look!
- Sweaters
- Sweaters are a must have in the cool weather, specifically cable knit. Off the shoulder sweaters and crewnecks are also popular choices. They can make a simple outfit all the nicer while also being comfy.
- Cardigans
- Cardigans are similar to sweaters, but are more versatile as you can wear them open or closed. Cardigans can be paired with a tank top underneath or layered with a long sleeve shirt for cooler weather. They, like sweaters, can also dress up a plain outfit and make it all that much cuter!
- Boots
- Whether it be Uggs or longer boots, boots are an essential part of the fall wardrobe. Uggs have been the shoe of the fall for years and continue to be as they are cute and comfy. Longer boots are also perfect for dressing up an outfit.
- Skirts
- Long or short skirts are so nice in the fall, especially paired with a sweater. Short skirts can be paired with tights to keep warm like a long skirt would. Midi skirts are very popular this season, whether it be in solid colors like black or brown or fun patterns like polka dots, which are in right now. Long and short skirts paired with a long sleeve or sweater make for such an elegant look. Both are nice especially for festivities during the season.
- Knee-high Socks
- Knee-high socks pair nicely with knee-high boots. They add that spice to an outfit while keeping you warm!
- Long Sleeves
- Long sleeves are a must have in the chilly fall weather. Button-up long sleeves and turtlenecks are quite popular during this season. Sometimes paired with a lace tank top underneath can give a very “downtown girl” look! Colors like brown, black, white, maroon, and navy look especially nice in these tops.
- Jeans
- Denim baggy and boot cut jeans make a nice casual outfit. Baggy jeans paired with a sweater or cardigan along with boot cut jeans paired with a tighter long sleeve shirt make a cute outfit!
- Leggings
- Leggings, especially flared ones, are a comfy fall fashion pick. They can be an everyday wear paired with really any top. They are cute, and functional!
- Sweat Sets
- Matching sweat sets are a comfy fall essential. To get that nice “clean girl” look, a matching sweat set paired with hoops, a slick back hairstyle, and a pair of uggs or running sneakers will do it every time. Sweat sets come in so many colors that go with everything like cream, black, grey, etc. If you want a pop of color, baby pink, navy blue, and light yellow are very in right now and are so cute in a sweat set. These sweat sets are great for on the go whether it be running errands or getting a spiced pumpkin latte!
- Leather Jackets
- Leather jackets are such a timeless piece of clothing. They make the simplest outfit all the better especially in the fall time. These paired with a turtle neck and skirt make the cutest dressed up outfit, while also keeping you warm! Black and brown are classic colors in leather jackets that go with everything, but if you want a pop of color you can try a burgundy one. They make such a nice touch to an outfit and can dress up even the simplest pieces of clothing like a tee shirt and jeans!
Clothing is really anything you make it, so having options to choose from are key! Adding a cute accessory whether it be a bag, jewelry, scarf, or headband can also make an outfit more diverse. It helps to have options that can allow you to either dress up or dress down an outfit, whatever you feel like doing!
