Fall is when we have the most fun getting dressed, and these fall outfit ideas are exactly what we’re loving right now. Cooler days mean we can finally bring back layers while still mixing in skirts, dresses, color, and plenty of print.
We’ve been reaching for pieces that make an outfit a little more interesting, from plaid and bows to great jackets and statement layers. We also love finding new ways to style pieces we already have in our closets. Here are 10 looks inspiring us this season!
Stripes + Plaid
We LOVE a little pattern mixing, and this outfit is such a fun example of how to do it! The blue striped button-down already has plenty of personality, but adding the black bow and pairing it with the blue, black, and green plaid skirt makes the whole look so much more interesting. Keeping the colors coordinated is what makes two different prints work together instead of competing.
A Jacket That Does All the Work
Sometimes you just need one really good piece to make the outfit! This green, black, and cream plaid jacket has so much texture and detail that we’d keep everything underneath it simple. Pair it with dark denim and let the jacket be the reason the outfit feels special.
Let the Skirt Be the Star
Here’s another way we’d wear that same printed skirt from the first look. Instead of adding another pattern, we paired it with a simple navy sweater and let all that blue and green in the skirt stand out. It’s a good reminder that a statement piece doesn’t always need complicated styling around it!
Argyle + Denim
We’re always looking for ways to make denim feel different, and a midi skirt is such a fun change from jeans. We love the argyle cardigan with it because you still get that fall mix of navy, green, and cream, while the denim keeps everything feeling relaxed and wearable.
A Fave Dress
This striped blue dress is one of those pieces that makes getting dressed SO easy. The pleated skirt gives it plenty of interest, so we’d keep the rest of the outfit simple and let the dress do the work. Add flats or boots depending on the weather and you’re done!
An Easy Matching Set
We love a matching set because there’s almost no thinking involved, but it still looks like a complete outfit. The red makes this one especially fun for fall and gives us a break from all the brown, navy, and olive we tend to reach for this time of year. A simple black shoe is all it really needs.
The Layer That Changes Everything
A white button-down and jeans will always have a place in our closets, but this plaid wrap is what makes the outfit feel like fall. We love the oversized scale of the plaid and how the blue and green work with the dark denim. These are the kinds of fall outfit ideas we love most because you can recreate them with basics you may already own.
A Printed Cardigan + Jeans
This is probably one of the easiest formulas in the entire roundup! Take your favorite jeans and add a cardigan with a print, texture, or color that makes it feel a little more special. We love the soft floral pattern on this one because it gives a simple jeans-and-sweater outfit so much more personality.
White Button-Down + Dark Denim
You really can’t go wrong with this combination. We love the ruffled collar on the white button-down because that small detail makes it more interesting than a basic white shirt, while the dark wide-leg jeans give the outfit a great shape. Add black flats and a plaid bag, and suddenly the basics don’t feel basic at all.
Add One More Layer
Take that same white button-down and dark denim and add a black poncho over the top, and you have a completely different outfit! We love letting the white collar and sleeves peek out because it breaks up the black and adds a little contrast. It’s also such an easy way to get more wear out of a button-down you already own.
The biggest thing we keep coming back to this fall is that an outfit doesn’t need a lot of new pieces to feel interesting. Sometimes it’s the plaid bag, the printed cardigan, the bow at the collar, or one extra layer that makes us excited to wear something again.
Start with the pieces you already love, then have a little fun with the prints, colors, textures, and layers you add around them!
Stay stylish,
Tiffany & Tegan
