Tips for Styling Fall Outfits

Stay cool in late-summer looks

Invest in a go-to piece of fall outerwear. Whether it’s a denim jacket, a plaid flannel shirt, a cashmere cardigan, a trench coat, or a leather jacket, a versatile piece of outerwear is the most important part of your fall wardrobe.


Find the perfect pair of fall boots. When the weather turns cooler, it’s time to swap your sandals for boots and booties, which signal the coming of winter. Pair suede ankle boots, heeled knee-high boots, or combat boots with a summer dress or denim skirt for a fall-ready look.


Dress up a little for work. Fall is a great time to bring suits and other workwear staples back into rotation after a summer of dressing more casually. Ease the transition by pairing a blazer with a fitted white T-shirt and a flowy midi skirt cinched with a belt.


Wear cotton clothing. Cotton is one of the most reliable fabrics in the textile industry and frequently used fabric for fall clothing. While cotton fabrics like flannel, corduroy, and denim can be too heavy for summer and too slow to dry for rainy winter and spring, they’re perfect for the dry, windy weather of fall.
