Easy outfit ideas to try this fall from fall wardrobe staples like trench coats and pleated mini skirts to boho skirts and maxi dresses give you a sense of optimism about the transitional weather that isn’t as difficult to style as you might think. Pairing staples like denim and lightweight outerwear are all key to getting into the early fall.

Pleated mini skirts and boho dresses

Pleated skirts can be as easy to style as any other dress in your wardrobe. A minimalist T-shirt and lace-up sneakers give the outfit a casual look, while an oversized blazer adds a layer of modern, laid-back elegance. If Chemena Kamali’s vibrant new era at Chloé has taught us anything, it’s that bohemian fashion can be worn in any season. For fall, that means pairing a slim lace dress with a black leather jacket, with a matching top-handle bag and Mary Janes to complete the classic look.

The ultra-feminine look from the dress is always the way to go. It’s all about the combination. To make it elegant, just wear it with delicate heels and compact bags. The maxi dress season is in full swing in September. So, choose an ankle-length style and add a simple yet dynamic top. Pair it with flats, a beaded necklace and a bright shoulder bag to accentuate the look with a pop of color.

Neutral brown tones

Beige or grey tops and light knits pair well with brown trousers. Add a sharp edge to the outfit with chic slingbacks and a matching shoulder bag.

A mid-length or knee-length dress can be worn underneath a trench coat. The era’s classic white T-shirt and high-waisted jeans formula forms a clean foundation. For a modern look, pair retro wide headbands, oversized outerwear, and oval sunglasses from the decade with trendy drop earrings, a clutch, and loafers.

Dark denim

The combination of bright colors gives the photoshoot a whimsical, optimistic feel for the upcoming season. The bright colors make an even stronger impression when paired with complementary neutral bags, boots, and sunglasses.
