Time to pack away the shorts, bikinis, and crop tops and break out your chunky sweaters, fuzzy socks, and sweatpants. It’s fall time again, meaning it’s time to break out your favorite transitional wear as we move into cooler temps. While we mourn the loss of warm sunny days, we can celebrate the fun styling of the cooler months. Layering is the key to a perfect fall look—your favorite sweater under and overside blazer over an ankle-length trench. The combinations are infinite.
You may be stressing that you need to do a closet overhaul, but unlike summer, the trends for fall usually are the same. You may want to refresh a few pieces if they are feeling outdated, but for the most part, your previous fall wardrobe will roll over just fine. If you are looking to upgrade some of your fall pieces or shake things up with some new pieces, you should cash out on some trends—a good pair of jeans, a leather or biker jacket, sherpa or teddy anything, and vests of any kind for layering. Thankfully this season’s trends aren’t too out of left field and will carry you through the winter months allowing for maximal versatility.
We rounded up 15 of our favorite fall fashion essentials to get you started for the pumpkin spice season.
