The Return of Red
Red is having a major moment this fall—whether it’s deep crimson, fiery cherry, or muted brick tones. Right now, try a bold red top with denim shorts or swap your usual handbag for a red crossbody.
When cooler temps hit, layer that same top under a blazer or pair it with wide-leg trousers for a polished fall outfit.
Shop the Look:
Midi Skirts with a Twist
Pleated, satin, and even leather midi skirts are huge this season. For now, style them with a tank or fitted tee and strappy sandals or sneakers.
Later, add a chunky knit and ankle boots for a chic fall outfit that’s perfect for brunch or the office.
Shop the Look:
Loafers Everywhere
Classic loafers are stepping into the spotlight. In August heat, pair them with bare legs and mini skirts or tailored shorts.
Come October, they’ll complete your fall outfits with socks, straight-leg jeans, and an oversized coat.
Shop the Look:
Cargo Pants 2.0
Not the stiff, bulky cargo pants from the early 2000s—this fall’s version is softer and more tailored.
Wear them now with a cropped tee or fitted tank, then add a chunky cardigan or bomber jacket for a cozy fall outfit later.
Shop the Look:
Statement Belts
Big buckles, textured leather, and unexpected colors are trending.
Try belting a sundress or maxi skirt & tank outfit today for a structured yet breezy look; swap the tank for a turtleneck long sleeve tomorrow for a polished fall outfit. Instant style boost without extra layers.
Shop the Look:
Light Leather
Faux leather tops, skirts, and dresses are everywhere in fall outfits this year.
In warmer weather, choose sleeveless cuts or lighter shades like cream and tan. When temps drop, add tights or layer over turtlenecks.
Shop the Look:
The Power Blazer
Oversized blazers are basically the pumpkin spice latte of fall outfits—classic, cozy, and always on trend.
For now, wear yours with bike shorts or a mini dress. Later, you can layer over knitwear and jeans.
Shop the Look:
Sheer Layers
Sheer long sleeves and skirts are perfect for early fall outfits because they’re light & chic while giving that seasonal feel.
In cooler weather, try layering them underneath a cozy turtleneck for warmth. Throw on some opaque tights for a completed fall look.
Rich Textures
Velvet, suede, corduroy—these fabrics instantly make your look feel more like fall.
In warmer weather, try a suede mini skirt with a tank top or a corduroy vest over a cami. Come cooler days, swap in chunky knits and boots for the ultimate fall outfit.
Western-Inspired Boots
Cowboy boots and western accents are a major part of fall outfits right now.
Wear them with flowy dresses or denim skirts today, then pair with jeans and oversized coats when it’s chilly.
The bottom line is you don’t have to wait for sweater weather to start wearing fall outfits.
Mix pieces you can layer later so your wardrobe works now and keeps delivering fresh looks all season long.
