Fall Outfit Ideas That Make Summer Feel Inconsequential

Skip the bikini and go straight to the good knits.

We look forward to summer as a way to embrace the breezy, naturally languid ease of the season. But with fall approaching, we can’t help but get excited for the new crop of outfit ideas and layering opportunities the new season brings. From oversized blazers and modernized outerwear trends to cozy knits and sweaterdresses, there is much to play with. Get inspired by the following autumnal ensembles—to wear while working from home, indulging in virtual Zoom happy hours, or getting out to enjoy weekend wanderings.

Put aside your favorite little white dresses in favor of one with maximalist appeal. There’s no better fall pairing than an oversized shirtdress teamed with croc-embossed knee-high boots.

You can never go wrong with a well-tailored suiting option; whether you mix and match the blazer with your own favorite pair of trousers, keep the look effortless by utilizing a slouchy white tucked-in tee beneath.

There’s something about cream-on-cream that screams style star to us, so much so that it has garnered its own social media hashtag. Showcase your love for oatmeal dressing with an off-white hoodie and matching joggers for your next fall weekend out.

There’s nothing chicer than stepping into fall with a burnt orange dress to reflect the colors of the season. Paired with gold jewelry, this look will warm you up in no time.

If there’s one trend we’ve coveted from social media, it’s the sweater-wrapped neck detail on top of another turtleneck. When paired with leather pants, the results are effortlessly cool.

Leave it to the sweaterdress to become the end-all, be-all piece in your closet. The right one can carry you through a variety of occasions. Think: breakfast with friends, days at the office, and strolls through the city.

Not only is all black incredibly flattering, it transcends time and trends. The best part? You can guarantee your ensemble will always match.

Denim-on-denim was once a fashion “please do not,” but with the new crop of influencers and street style stars showcasing it, we’ve fallen in love with the sartorial faux pas. Don’t be afraid to mix and match denim dyes for a chic, put-together look.

We can’t help it; we love neutrals. Add a textural element to your minimal look with a fluffy coat and chunky sneakers.

The jumpsuit will always be a mainstay in our hearts and in our closets for its ease—there’s nothing better than a one-step look. But when worn beneath a longline wool coat, the end effect is autumnal perfection.

Update your classic workweek wardrobe with a plaid blazer layered over a white T-shirt, then add dark-wash jeans. This look can take you from desk job to happy hour with nary a costume tweak.
