The ultimate fall wardrobe
The time has come to update your closet
with classic pieces for the ultimate fall wardrobe. As if you needed an excuse to
hit the mall. We sorted through all the trends to find the ones you’d
heart the most. Almost as easy as having a personal shopper. Er,
almost.
A rad bomber
Feeling a bit on the edge? Leather
jackets are perfect for the fall weather and instantly give off a
cool look. If you want to warm up in something other than denim or
cotton, leather is the way to go! It never goes out of style.
PU Bomber, $50, delias.com
*Style bonus: Try a fun color,
like burgundy or mocha instead of plain black.
The classic flannel
Contrary to what some may think,
flannel shirts are quite trendy. Dress it up with a skirt or it keep
things casual with jeans or leggings. Try wearing it unbuttoned with
your fave graphic tee underneath and add a cool pair of kicks.
Unisex Flannel
Long Sleeve Button-Up Shirt, $62, americanapparel.com
*Style bonus: Plaid can go
ultra-girly with the right accessories. Mix it with a floral skirt,
add fancy flats and pretty pearls.
Trend Alert:
Wide leg pants
The flare has made its way back on the
runway and it’s even better than ever. Wide-legs worn high-waisted
with a tee, tank or blouse (try stripes!) is a chic alternative to
the narrow look. Try searching for flared pants with a unique element
like this one below with the bow or with a cool pattern, like floral.

*Style bonus: Wide-leg trouser
jeans also hit the mark and are a wee-bit more wearable if you’re
volume-shy.
Tailored to a T
When in doubt, throw on a blazer.
Layering is always a good way to spruce up an outfit and adding a
blazer gives it a clean look. You can get them in practically any
color, but we like navy or black for versatility.

*Style bonus: Find one with a
cute lining so you can roll up your cuffs.
Cozy up in a sweater dress
Paired with flats and tights or boots
and knee socks, you can’t go wrong with a sweater dress. It’s
cute and simple and soo easy to slip on, the kind of item you must
have in your closet. It’s also a good piece for layering; you can
wear a collared shirt underneath and a jacket or blazer on top.
Definitely an essential.
Powdercoated Dress, $46 (on sale), quicksilver.com
*Style bonus: Break into your
summer faves and try layering a cropped tee over your sweater dress.
So easy.
Lace up in booties
The low length of this boot is perfect
for fall. Booties look great with everything from leggings to skirts
to dresses! This cuffed, almond-toe style will set off any outfit
with a classic spin.

Cuff Lace Up Ankle Boot, $65, asos.com
*Style tip: Look for booties
with a cuff so you can fold them up or down: It’s like getting two
shoes for the price of one.
Trend Alert:
Shearling/Fur vest
The fur peaking out of this vest is
such a cool detail. It keeps you warm, while adding texture to your
look. It’s versatile enough to pair with anything. Bomber
Vest, $33, forever21.com
Everyday jeans
If you don’t have a pair of dark
denim skinnies, your wardrobe is seriously missing out! It’s the
jean you wear with everything. They go well with any pair of shoes:
booties, flats, oxfords, boots, loafers, you name it.

Denim Dark, $30, urbanoutfitters.com
Go for a maxi
Just because it’s getting chilly out
doesn’t mean you have to do away with skirts! Why not wear a longer
skirt to cover your legs? Maxi skirts are very pretty and trendy.
They help create a boho feel to your look. If worn with heels, maxis
give off an elongated effect to your body. Very slimming!
