As summer ends, we are all trying to hold tightly onto the last rays of sun and temperatures high enough to allow us to wear cute, trendy, and chic outfits. However, every year, without exception, fall comes boldly into our lives and simply forces us to forget about swimsuits and high-waisted denim shorts. This means that we have to transition to a slightly warmer wardrobe while also remaining on trend. Moreover, we need to feel comfortable because these rainy days are not meant for stilettos, silky blouses, and form-fitting suits. The question is: how can you achieve being cozy and chic in the fall? Don’t worry – have a few ideas for you here.
1. Sweater weather, with a twist
Cardigans, jumpers, and sweaters won’t come across as unexpected in chilly fall weather. However, how about matching them with some summer items, such as a colorful maxi dress? This combo is perfect for those chilly days when you need to do errands in town or want to look classy but also be comfortable for a lunch date. Throw a slouchy knitted cardigan over your floaty maxi dress and finish the look off with a pair of modish ankle boots. You can upgrade the style even further and add a Parisian vibe to it with a splash of red lipstick and an eco-friendly tote bag. Voila.
2. Leggings for days, in style
There are a few pieces of clothings that can beat leggings, a clothing item which deserves a special place on our list of cozy fall outfit ideas. One of the ways in which you can wear them is by pairing your leggings with other athleisure pieces or even workwear. For example, when taking your dog for a walk, you can combine a pair of comfy leggings with a trendy cropped windbreaker and white trainers. Another cozy way to wear leggings is by matching them with something more formal, such as a shirt. This is actually a quite common fashion trait among stylish girls who love to match their favorite pair of leggings and a shirt or a polo shirt and a puffer vest. Thus it is no wonder that you can find some amazing womens activewear and easily shop for cute pieces online. You can complete this minimalistic look with a pair of white sneakers.
3. Slip dresses, fall edition
Spaghetti straps and slip dresses may not be the first thing that pops up in your mind when you think of a cozy fall wardrobe. However, these silky pieces can work wonderfully when matched with a simple, warm turtleneck. You can opt for a camel or black tight turtleneck and a slip dress, preferably with an animal or floral print (you still want to be chic and modish). Combine this outfit with a classic trench coat and a pair of kitten heels or block heels and ankle boots. As for your hair and makeup, go for a cute messy bun and a nude lip. This could be the ideal look for a Sunday brunch with the girls or even fashionable work attire (if the company dress code allows it, of course).
4. Sweatsuits, but make it fashion
During the lockdown, sweatsuits have become the most beloved piece of clothing for a majority of us. Cozy and warm, they are ideal for times when the temperatures drop. To keep up with the trends, opt for sweatsuits in bright colors, such as yellow, green, or red. You don’t even have to look for a matching sweatshirt and sweatpants as long as both items are a bit oversized and slouchy.
Match your favorite sweatsuit with unexpected accessories, such as strappy sandals and a statement bracelet. Instead of a backpack or a canvas tote bag, go for something more elegant such as a flap shoulder bag or a polished pencil bag. Furthermore, with this outfit, you can opt for a no-makeup look or go all out with a bold eyeliner and a matte lipstick. The choice is up to you, but you are bound to achieve a very Instagrammable style, that we saw many fashion bloggers rocking during the NYFW.
5. Ripped, skinny jeans and a blazer
Denim is truly appropriate for any season and skinny jeans are (still) a classic. For this reason, you can go for a pair of dark denim, ripped jeans and make them look a bit more polished with a blazer, preferably an oversized one, to achieve a stylish contrast. The choice of color is up to you, and you can round off this timeless look with a cropped white tee and white Converse sneakers.
To sum up, we can say that fall is an exquisite season for cozy fashion ideas. A gorgeous look can at the same time be super-comfortable and easy to achieve. Try out the ones we have suggested here and truly enjoy your style, even on cloudy rainy days.
