All the Fall Outfits I'm Excited to Wear This Year (Up to Now)

      There's nothing quite like the anticipation fashion enthusiasts feel as fall approaches. The crisp sound of leaves underfoot, the cozy layers of rich fabrics, and the sense of a fresh start make this season one that inspires a desire to romanticize dressing up. By August, I often hit a plateau with summer styles and yearn for the darker hues, heavier textures, and versatile layering options that autumn brings. We are now officially in that time of year, and it's got me thrilled about what fall has to offer. This year, I've been filling up my saved folder with outfits that appear effortless yet maintain a strong cool factor. These are the looks that can be thrown on without much thought, and somehow still convey a put-together vibe. My aim in curating this list was to include several outfits you can easily recreate with items you already own (you're welcome). From casual denim combinations to chic outerwear styles, here’s everything I plan to wear once the temperature drops.

      Funnel-Neck Jacket + Flannel

      Funnel-neck jackets had their moment last year, and they’re not going away anytime soon. Pair them with a flannel tied around the waist for a trendy 2025 look.

      Lululemon

      Rain Chaser Jacket

      Free People

      Ashley Oversized Plaid Cotton Button-Up Shirt

      Leopard-Print Pants + Trench Coat

      I loved a good pair of leopard-print pants last fall and can't wait to wear them again this season with elegant pumps and a trench coat.

      Barbour

      Camilla Waterproof Trench Coat

      HIDDEN JEANS

      High Waist Baggy Wide Leg Jeans

      Denim Jacket + Sweater Over Shoulders

      This outfit can be easily recreated with items from your closet. Refresh your old denim jacket by draping a sweater over your shoulders; it’s a sure way to fall in love with it again.

      The Margot Denim Jacket

      Good American

      Good Standard Baggy Jeans

      Maxi Dress + Statement Trench Coat

      This combination is always a showstopper. I adore a suede trench coat because it's a timeless piece that won't go out of style.

      Naked Wardrobe

      Mock Neck Long Sleeve Maxi Dress

      Slim-Fit Jeans + Colorful Heels

      This outfit is definitely something Carrie Bradshaw would endorse. Any jeans look even more stylish when paired with striking shoes.

      Reformation

      Anna Rugby Shirt

      Madewell

      The Longline Straight Jean

      Layered Sweater + Flared Jeans

      This look reminds me of a modern-day Princess Diana. It features a preppy baseball cap with a button-down shirt layered beneath a sweater and flared jeans—super stylish without being overdone.

      ALL THE WAYS

      Millie Button Up Top

      j.crew

      Cashmere Shrunken Crewneck Sweater

      Belted Miniskirt + Clutch

      Though longer skirt styles are currently in vogue, a well-styled mini can create a significant impact. A '90s-inspired clutch adds the perfect touch.

      Bottega Veneta

      Long Andiamo Clutch Bag

      Trench Bomber + Button-Down Shirt + Flared Pants

      This outfit seamlessly combines the aesthetics of Saint Laurent and Toteme. I never thought my first purchase this season would be flared pants, but I’ve been swayed.

      Jaded London

      Stacked Bootcut Suit Pant

      aritzia

      The Esquire Trench Coat

      Glasses + Plaid Skirt + Turtleneck

      As fall rolls in, I tend to lean towards preppy styles, making me reach for my plaid skirt and optical glasses, reminiscent of my school uniform days. I can’t get enough.

      Alessia Collarless Braid Trim Jacket

      AGOLDE

      Henson Mid Rise Baggy Jeans

      Leather Jacket + Sheer Skirt

      A night out in autumn becomes even more delightful with a sheer skirt paired with a fantastic leather jacket. The contrast between heavy and light fabrics wins me over every time.

      LAMARQUE

      Theia | Leather Bomber Jacket

      Wool Coat + Printed Jeans

      Colder fall days are infinitely better with a wool coat. A bold pair of printed jeans is the ideal pairing.

      MANGO

      Courtney Zheng

      Anouk Printed Jeans

      Flannel + Leather Midi Skirt
