I'm a Fashion Editor—These Are the 8 Simple Fall Outfits I'm Trying Next Month
If you’re anything like me, then you live by the notion that you can never have too much outfit inspiration, especially when the looks are incredibly easy to re-create. Case in point: the fall outfit combinations I've been thinking about recently. As we head into the new season, I've been zeroing in on the fall essentials I'll be adding to my closet, and I'm looking to the fashion set for cool ideas on how to put them together in the coming months.
From oversize blazers with chunky boots to jumpsuits with heels to chic skirt sets, there are plenty of looks I'm ready to slip into. These outfits are all about layering closet basics in fresh ways that make them feel modern. Ahead, see eight simple fall outfits inspiring me right now that I'm planning to wear as we head into the new season.
Oversize Blazer + Boots
As we continue to see relaxed suiting on the rise, we can expect plenty of outfits with oversize blazers this fall. The perfect way to style one? With a minidress and chunky knee-high boots.
Shop the look:
Silk Pajamas + Trench
If you've collected some stylish pajamas over the last few months, simply add a trench coat and some cool sunglasses to completely transform them like Lindsay Peoples Wagner did.
Shop the look:
Blazer Dress + Kitten Heels
Blazers get a few new tweaks each season. Right now, we're seeing more dress versions, which are a great easy piece. Add a pair of comfortable kitten heels, and your look is all set.
Shop the look:
Suiting + Boots
Nothing is easier to throw on than a matching set. That includes all of the amazing suits that are on the market right now. As we move into fall, adding a pair of boots is the perfect transitional outfit.
Shop the look:
Jumpsuit + Heels
If I'm being completely honest, jumpsuits have always intimidated me a bit, but after spotting this outfit, I'm ready to try out the trend for myself. Here, I love the subtle styling details like pushed-up sleeves and a slightly undone zipper.
Shop the look:
Skirt Suit + Chunky Boots
Skirt suits are set to be one of the biggest trends this fall. Try layering a turtleneck underneath and adding a pair of chunky ankle boots.
Shop the look:
Blazer + Trousers + Ankle Boots
As you can probably tell, I'm leaning heavily into easy outfit formulas. Here's another cool way to style an oversize blazer. This time, just add trousers and a pair of sleek boots.
Shop the look:
Leather Trench + Heels
For a look that's instantly polished, you can't go wrong with a leather trench worn with heels. Mango is always a favorite for its stunning versions.
