With the passing of Labor Day, I’m officially in the mood for fall. It’s my favorite season to get dressed because there are so many layering ideas and trends to play with from oversized blazers and tailored outerwear trends to cozy knits and boots. I also find that it’s much easier to come up with unique outfit combinations around this time of the year. Fall is all about effortless, cozy pairings as well as more polished, layered looks. If you’re interested in trying out a new crop of stylish fall outfit ideas this year, I’m rounding up 10 of my favorites below. We’re still in that strange transition from summer to fall but many of these looks can be adjusted for the weather no matter where you live.

1. Blazer, Oversized Scarf, & Brown Denim

The fastest way to transition your wardrobe to fall is to play with autumnal colors. I’m obsessing over all the chocolate browns and neutral color palettes right now. To get an early start on the trend, simply add a pair of brown jeans to your denim rotation.

2. Chunky Knit Cardigan, Bodysuit, & Skinny Jeans

I swear by this outfit combination every fall season because it allows you to extend the wear of your summer pieces – like bodysuits, camisoles, and tank tops. Plus, I can never pass up the cozy look of a chunky knit cardigan.

3. All Black With A Teddy Bear Coat

As we get deeper into the season and the temperatures start to take a turn, you can’t go wrong with wearing darker outfits. Going for an all black ensemble looks edgy yet cozy with a fuzzy teddy bear coat layered on top.

4. Monochromatic Gray Layers

I’ve always loved wearing gray throughout the colder seasons, but it’s going to be a major trend this year. So if you don’t already own a gray coat and sweater, this would be the time to grab them. I love how gray looks instantly elevated and sophisticated. Just remember to keep your outfit interesting by mixing in different tones, textures, and volume.

This look is super easy to recreate – and I’m sure you guys already own very similar pieces in your wardrobe. All you need is a a chunky knit top and a sleek pencil skirt. The mix of contrasting proportions looks flattering on anyone.

6. Trench Coat, Tunic Sweater, & Over-The-Knee Boots

A tunic sweater and over-the-knee boots is feminine and classy, especially with a trench coat thrown over the shoulders. I just found these Stuart Weitzman boots on sale – they’re perfect for recreating the look above.

8. Belted Blazer, Faux Leather Pants, & Classic Pumps

I’m always looking for versatile pairings that can be worn at work or in the evening. This one is a favorite because because it’s polished but still sexy. You just need to take your favorite blazer and belt it at the waist over some leather pants. Finish off the look with classic pumps and you’re all set.

September is basically leather season for me, and one of my wardrobe must-haves is the moto jacket. I just love how it looks over a silk button-down blouse, but the different pairings you can come up with are practically endless.

10. Shearling Biker Jacket, Leather Pants & Combat Boots

Finally, every girl needs a pair of combat boots this fall. I often experiment with that edgy, grunge aesthetic by pairing my combat boots with leather pants, a slouchy sweater, and faux fur biker jacket. I can’t wait to re-wear this look again.
