7 Fall Fashion Must-Haves
Chunky Sweaters
From thrift stores to designer labels, most women's clothing stores always have a variant of the classic chunky fall sweater. But you can stand out this season by picking sweaters in interesting fabrics featuring saturated colors and fun patterns. According to leading fashion editors, mohair and brushed wool cardigans are great options to put a fun spin on the classic fall sweater.

Unique Outerwear
Fall is incomplete without a cozy selection of jackets and light outerwear. Trench coats are a staple for this season, and can be paired with a stylish handbag and dark toned turtlenecks for a chic work outfit. Don your trusty leather jacket or a comfortable bomber jacket for weekend gatherings. Don’t shy away from exploring unique silhouettes in leather jackets like a cropped or an hour-glass shape.

Maxi Dresses
Maxi dresses are perfect for dinner parties or a fall wedding. You can easily dress up the look with sandals and a statement clutch. Alternatively, throw on your favorite combat boots and a denim jacket for a more laid back look when meeting friends for drinks. Opt for bright colors, chic leg slits, or fun prints to elevate this classic wardrobe staple.

Colorful Leggings
While most ladies own a pair of classic black tights, you can consider switching it up this fall by opting for colorful women's leggings instead. This season, bright and bold is the way to go. Certain colors are dominating the streets and top fashion magazines have mapped the palette.
Look out for vivid blues, burnt orange, zesty lime, bright barbie pink, yellow, and classic beige & white combinations. Monochromatic looks always tend to turn heads. But if you want to blend in, simply don a pared down dress in a soft autumnal brown to create a color balance.
Baggy Denim
Relaxed fit denim is a fall staple for those lazy days spent reading at a cafe with a piping cup of hot chocolate. Accessorize your look with a simple t-shirt, a warm scarf, a colorful beanie, and some cozy flannel. Alternatively, elevate your baggy denim by pairing it with a crisp oversized blazer, a well-fitting turtleneck, and some stylish heels. Take some time to understand which jeans are the best fit for you, and learn how to style the silhouette you purchase.

Jewelry
Styling your outfits with accessories is a great way to communicate with your fashion choices. By taking the time to select jewelry pieces that accentuate your features, you’ll exhibit an attention to detail while subtly displaying self-love with such adornments. You can choose from a wide range of options like dainty earrings, tasteful rings, or multiple charm necklaces. If you have any body piercings, consider switching them out this season to feel refreshed.

Loafers
While boots are a classic fall staple, we suggest trying out loafers this season to achieve the trending preppy look. You can browse through various finishes and colors to pair with different pieces in your wardrobe. But, when in doubt, simply pick a black pair and watch how it transforms a simple outfit of sweater and jeans, into an elevated version. If you’re feeling confident, choose a white shirt and tailored pants to complete the dark academia aesthetic.
A Mindful Makeover
Seasonal fashion is always exciting as these trends are a great opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and experiment with new items. They also make sure your existing collection reaches its fullest potential by being worn in diverse ways throughout the year.
In any case, revamping your closet doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll burn a hole in your pocket. You can even upgrade your wardrobe on a budget. Remember to make intentional purchases while remaining mindful of your existing possessions, and work from there, matching new pieces to your collection.
