It's October and the leaves have practically all fallen, so what the hell are you doing still wearing shorts and a tank top? The weather isn't going to stay warm forever, even with the unseasonably warm temperatures outside. To keep you looking cute throughout the autumn months, here are some must-have items.

1. Ripped Jeans

No matter the wash and no matter the season, ripped jeans will stay trendy until the day we need to start dressing business casual for our real jobs. Ripped or distressed jeans are the perfect way to add edge to any look.

2. Boots

Whether it's ankle booties, over-the-knee boots or Hunter rain boots, boots are the most stereotypical fall necessity known to mankind.

3. Muted Florals

Florals are usually associated with Spring and Summer, but just because the flowers outside are dead, doesn't mean you have to stop wearing them. Wearing dark or muted florals are a nice way to keep the pattern fall-appropriate.

4. Plaid / Plaid Flannel Shirt

Maybe we're drawn to plaid for the collegiate feel at the beginning of the semester or maybe it's because we all secretly want to be Cher from Clueless. No matter, plaid, and especially plaid flannels are always in for fall.

5. Overalls

Not just for farmers anymore. Overalls are an easy piece to work with as the weather changes in fall. You can throw a t-shirt or a sweater under them depending on the temperature outside.

6. Light Sweaters

It's not quite winter yet, so light sweaters are nice to wear both outside and inside when the weather is transitioning.

7. Cold Shoulder

Even though it's getting warmer, the cold shoulder sweaters, tops and dresses are still going to be a thing this fall.

8. Denim / Army Jackets

Both of these styles of jackets are light but will keep you warm for any fall breezes.

9. Scarves

How could you not want to invest in something stylish that can also be used as a blanket?

10. Leggings

I mean....duh. Leggings will keep you warm and be there for you like no one else can. They're comfy and can be styled up or dressed down.

These 10 items are only my suggestions for fall style. No matter if your favorite pieces or style are not represented on this list, work and love what you want to wear! There are no wrongs in fashion.
