Fall is one of my favorite seasons of the year. Depending on where you live, the weather is cool, but not too cool. The colors of changing leaves — reds and oranges and yellows — are beautiful, and Halloween is right around the corner. And overall, there’s just a pleasant feel in the air this season.
Not to mention the lovely fall fashion options!
For me, fall is when I break out some of my favorite clothes to wear. The cool mix of summer and winter clothes that the fall season affords me allows me to mix and match both seasons’ outfits and make something unique, fun, and utterly me. And some outfits just scream fall! I have several fashion favorites, but the following are my favorites in spooky season:
1. Sweater Dress
They call the colder months sweater weather for a reason. I don’t know when the sweater dress trend started, but I’ve loved them since. There’s something so cozy about the sweater look, and it automatically adds pop to any outfit you wear. Solid-colored sweaters are always nice, but try looking around for some flashier ones too — flower patterns are always cute to have! Pair them with some solid-colored leggings and boots and you’re good to go.
2. Cardigan
Cardigans are absolutely beautiful (no wonder Taylor Swift named a song after it!) if you’re wearing a flashy shirt or dress, it’s always nice to pair it with a solid-color cardigan. You definitely need at least one black one in your closet. Contrast is key; colorful outfits with lots of patterns look best with solid-color cardigans, but a white spaghetti-strap top with jeans and flats looks amazing with flowery-patterned cardigans.
3. Denim
Denim has been around for a while and for good reason; it literally looks good with everything! They look good any season, which makes them perfect for fall fashion. Blue denim is a must-have, but whites and blacks are nice for more formal occasions. Aside from your classic denim jeans, denim skirts, shorts, and jackets are also in style. For a more southern look, try pairing them with a plaid shirt, cowboy-looking brown boots, and a leather hat!
4. Thigh-High Boots
I knew there was a reason I loved Ariana Grande’s style and I can’t believe it took so long to figure out why: that girl rocks thigh-high boots 24/7! These tall, elegant boots make any outfit look 100% fancier. It can turn a plain outfit into a head-turner. But if you want to cute it up even more, pair a knee-length sweater dress with thigh-high, high-heel leather boots to send a message: you’re hot and you know it.
5. Hoop Earrings
Hoop earrings are chic and go with everything because they often come in solid colors or can be an off-color of what you’re wearing (like a pair of pink-tinted silver hoop earrings). Silvers and golds are must-haves and great to start off with. Pair them with your sweater and boots and you’re good to go out the door. The best part about them is that they don’t need a matching pair of necklaces — although those look fire as well! — which makes it perfect if you ever lose your favorite pair of necklaces.
