Fall brings sweater weather, pumpkin spice lattes and apple picking. If you're looking for a few ways to refresh your fall wardrobe, you're in the right place. You really don't need to buy a bunch of coordinated outfits to have some good options for the upcoming dips in the temperature. Just get some classic, fun pieces that will go with what you already have. And who can resist some late back-to-school shopping?
1. Booties
Looking for an alternative to the riding boots you wore nearly every single day last fall? You'll get a lot of use out of a nice, neutral pair of booties. They go with everything, from dresses to leggings, to your favorite pair of jeans. The best part? You'll look polished, but stay comfortable at the same time. Pick a pair with a lower, chunky heel and you'll be able to wear them all day without blisters. Worried you can't pull them off? Don't worry, you definitely can.
2. A Quilted Vest
A quilted vest is the perfect in-between when it's too cool to go without a jacket, but not cold enough to drag out your winter coat. Pick one in a neutral color (or pattern). You'll wear it with everything (and I mean everything). Somehow, a nice vest will tie together the simplest outfit, even a pair of leggings and your favorite old t-shirt.
3. A Comfy Scarf
The right size scarf is another great way to make your outfit feel a little more special. A good scarf isn't just stylish, it will keep you warm and cozy as it gets colder. Try a small print patterned scarf that'll go with everything you own, or try a bolder fall print (like plaid) to change it up!
4. A Neutral Cardigan
A neutral cardigan is another great transition piece perfect for those chilly days. Pick one in a color that speaks to you, and you won't have to think twice when you're pulling it out of your closet on the way to class.
5. A Good Pair of Leggings
Whether or not you believe leggings can be worn as pants, you can't deny that they are incredibly comfortable and are the perfect alternative when you just don't feel like wearing jeans. Your leggings should be snug enough that they hold their shape throughout the day, but feel comfortable and are opaque. Depending on your body shape, it can be hard to find the perfect pair. But once you do, stock up because you'll never look back!
It's no secret that you really don't need to spend a ton of money on a new fall wardrobe. All you need are some new versatile pieces that will go with what you already have. At the end of the day, wear what you are most comfortable and confident in.
