Top 8 Must-Haves For Fall

 

Pumpkins, bright colors, gathering around a table full of food and loved ones…there’s so much to love about fall. One of the parts I look forward to most, though, is the fashion! Cozy sweaters, Chelsea boots, bold patterned pants - I’m here for all of it!

Dressing for the season can be a fun opportunity to tweak your every day uniform slightly to play into the trends of the year. This year I’ve narrowed in on 8 must-haves I’m recommending as things you should look to incorporate into your outfits or add to your closet for autumn.

1. Camel Coat

Consider this your next best investment piece. It’s a classic and a color that will work with EVERYTHING in your closet for many years to come. There’s a strong pull this year for neutrals and skin print and with this piece, you’ll fit right in.

Get The Look:

Heritage Coat (cabi)

Marie Jacket (Revolve)

Camel Trench (Nordstrom)


2. Statement Shirt

Look for a piece that can make a bold impression all on its own. Ruffles, a unique sleeve, intricate stitching, any bright colors all make for the perfect statement shirt. These can typically stand alone or layer well with a great jacket.

Get The Look:

Raglan Ruffle Neck Blouse (EVEREVE)

Tied-Up Shirt (cabi)


3. Corduroy

This is an age old favorite that’s come roaring back in a new way with unexpected patterns and colors. The two options I suggest below have a thicker ribbed pattern but make for completely different looks. Go for the tailored coat or opt for a denim jacket styling.

Get The Look:

Cheeky Topper (cabi)

Belted Corduroy Trench Coat (Nordstrom)


4. Cozy Sweater

Whether you’re going after a long snuggle tunic or a cropped version that makes a statement with fringe, it's sweater weather! As one of the most versatile pieces on this list, you can dress up and down cozy sweaters depending on your needs and easily transition from one look to the next.

Get The Look:

Clara Fringe Pullover (EVEREVE)

Campfire Pullover (cabi)


5. Snake Skin

You really can’t go wrong with any kind of skin print this season but snake skin in particular is making a real comeback this year. Find it in shoes, a belt or go all out with a duster like the one you’ll find below.

Get The Look:

King Cobra Coat (cabi)

Serpent Belt (cabi)

Chuck 70 Archive Reptile Suede Sneaker (Revolve)


6. 70’s Inspo

Look to the 70’s and 90’s as key inspiration for this year’s Fall trends. Wide leg pants, graphic tees, and leather jackets are all fair game. Go hunting in your own closet to find a few items you haven’t worn in years that are now in vogue.

Get The Look:

Patch Pocket (cabi)

Graphic Tees (Revolve)


7. Knit Dress

Bridge the transition between our work from home athluxe looks to something equally as comfortable. Find similar cozy fabrics but in dresses that can easily be combined with leggings or tights. Pair the first look below with knee high boots and statement hoops for a comfy but "take me seriously" back to work look.

Get The Look:

Cozy Rib Long Sleeve Midi Dress (Nordstrom)

Cuddle Dress (cabi)

8. Printed Legging

What's better than cabi's solid lean leggings or SPANX printed lean legging? Not much! Go bold and combine two trends with these. Add a tunic length black shirt and denim jacket to tone down a bold legging. Rock lug soled booties for even more of an edgy look! What will you choose?

Get The Look:

Faux Leather Snake Shine Legging (EVEREVE)

Printed Lean Legging (cabi)
