The leaves are turning beautiful shades of reds and yellows, cafes are bringing back seasonal spiced lattes, and the sun shines warm while the winds blow cold. There’s a lot to love about the fall season, especially the opportunity to layer up and show off your style without melting in the summer heat. With so many choices and styles to wear, it can become difficult to choose your outfits. But don’t worry: we are here to help! Here are some Fall Fashion tips to keep you on top of your style all season long.

Let’s start with colors and tones: bright and flashy summer hues are not going to cut it. You want to find more subdued, earthy tones that complement one another. Different shades of light grey, taupe and beige can stack over each other and create a seamless look. Similarly, shades of dark green, olive and earthy brown layer perfectly and create an effortless outfit. For accessories such as handbags or shoes, blacks, whites, browns and grays can tie everything together. Simplicity is key when it comes to colors; you can let the style and materials do the talking.

Now let’s talk materials and fabric choices; you want something that will keep you warm in the autumn breeze but not melting in the sunlight. Cashmere sweaters and cardigans are a perfect choice for your fall fashion because they are soft and comfortable, yet breathable and will keep you warm when you need it. They also can be dressed up for work or down for a lazy Sunday. Fall is also the perfect time to bring out leather jackets, which layer perfectly over sweaters, blouses and jeans. Try out some leather biker jackets for a sleek and contemporary fall look. You also should keep in mind that fall fashion is all about layering, so the layer that’s closest to your skin should be breathable and absorbent. Consider 100% cotton blouses and tunics that will keep you cool underneath your sweaters and jackets once you return indoors.
