The top five wardrobe essentials you need for fall

There is no doubt about it: fall is upon us! The leaves are starting to turn wonderful shades of orange, yellow and red. The air has become crisp, chilly and refreshing. Apple orchards are buzzing with people, pies and pumpkins. In addition to all of this new and welcomed change, the season of fall invites us to bring some new pieces into our wardrobe. These five easy, manageable pieces will have you looking stylish throughout the season, and will become your go-to pieces for fall seasons to come!

Boots

They can be booties, ankle boots, or riding boots. Whichever you chose, they can quickly become a staple in your wardrobe. Look for boots in neutral tones such as black, brown, cognac or cordovan to maximize wear. They can be easily styled with a boot sock over leggings, tucked into a skinny jean or paired with tights and a skirt. Regardless of how you style them, boots are an ideal way to polish an outfit. They are perfect for walking to the Saturday morning farmers market, or sprinting to get that early morning cup of coffee before class!

Chunky Knits

They can be cardigans, crew-necks or cowl-necks! All of these choices are wonderful to incorporate into your fall wardrobe. Not only is it easy to throw on a sweater, but it is also a comfy choice for a Sunday in the library or meeting friends for coffee. Longer cardigans can be paired with leggings, crew necks can be worn over an oxford shirt for a more put together look and all knits are a perfect complement to boots!

Chambray Shirt

Investing in a chambray or denim shirt can be one of the best decisions you make this fall. This shirt can be worn all throughout the year, but is perfect in the fall for layering. It can be styled on its own with a statement necklace or can be paired under your favorite sweater. Either way, this shirt will be an easy go-to piece in your wardrobe. The chambray is also very versatile in that it can be worn with any wash of jeans, paired with a chino pant, worn with a maxi skirt or worn over leggings.

Oxblood Skinnies

Although this deep, rich wine color pant may be a fad, it encompasses everything fall. It’s warm hue quickly pulls together a fall look. This color is also easily styled since it is so close to a neutral, and it can really work with anything. Look for this color in denim or chino pant, either is a great choice.

Warm Scarves

Scarves, being one of the easiest accessories, can be thrown on to create an instant outfit. A scarf is versatile for anyone, and is a perfect addition to your wardrobe this fall. It is a necessity for keeping cozy on those crisp days autumn days, but can also be carried into the bitter days of winter.

While each item is great on its own, you can pair them together for an instant, chic fall outfit. Each piece will complement you and the upcoming fall season. Happy Fall!
