Fall is my favorite season, and for a few reasons: seasonal drinks at Starbucks (I'm looking at you, PSL), apple picking, and best of all - a chance to wear something besides tank tops and norts. For the college girl looking to update her autumn wardrobe, check out these 12 must-have items.

1. Booties

Booties take any outfit up a notch. They come in all variety of heel heights and colors, so have a little fun and try something new. This fall, grey suede ones are the most sought after.

2. Bomber Jacket

Bomber jackets came onto the fashion scene last fall, and they show no signs of leaving any time soon. For a classic look, try the army-green color. If you're feeling more adventurous, go for a light pastel or interesting pattern.

3. Fitted Turtleneck

Any 90's kid will remember being forced to wear turtlenecks back in our elementary school days. Now they're actually cool, and you'll definitely want to snag a few for your closet.

4. Dark Wash Skinny Jeans

Skinny jeans are great for the fall because you can easily wear boots over them and they look great with a chunky sweater or oversized cardigan. Any wash will look great, but for something that will match everything in your closet go for a darker wash.

5. Loafers

Remember how cute Audrey Hepburn looks in Funny Face, sporting her simple black loafers? You'll be just as cute with your own pair this fall. These shoes easily transition from work to play, making them a great investment.

6. Oversized Flannel

Flannels are the perfect combination of comfortable and stylish. This year, flannels were clean and subtle- no obnoxious patterns or headache-inducing colors. For a trendy look, try pairing a muted flannel with a high waist A-line skirt.

7. Crew Neck Sweatshirt

Forget hoodies, crew neck sweatshirts are center stage this fall. The best thing about this fashion item is how customizable it is. Whether raiding your parent's closets or picking through the racks at a thrift store, you're sure to find one that's just your style.

8. Colored Pants

Wearing the same leggings and jeans day after day gets boring, so spice things up with colored pants. For the most flattering look, look for pants in jewel tones like burgundy, hunter green, and deep purple.

9. Leather Jacket

Leather jackets are great because they go with literally everything. If you've got a few hundred bucks to spend, splurge and get an authentic leather one. Otherwise, there are plenty of quality faux leather ones on the market.

10. Suede Skirt

Suede is all the rage right now, so hop on the trend with a suede skirt. This is a super versatile piece that you can dress up for a night out with friends or dress down for when you're going to class.

11. Boyfriend Cardigan

Who says you can't be both fashionable and comfortable? Boyfriend cardigans are perfect for when you wan't to be comfy but don't want to look like a hobo.

12. Basic Layering Tee

Weather during the fall can be a bit fickle, so layering is essential. Keep a few basic t-shirts on hand that you can mix and match to make different outfits and stay comfortable all season long.
