1. Long Wool Coat + Jeans + Ballet Flats
There is no easier way to create a foolproof fall outfit than throwing a statement overcoat (Leia is wearing a from the Métiers d’Art collection) over a simple outfit like jeans and a t-shirt. Paired with a crossbody bag and one of fall’s most important shoes a.k.a. ballet flats (I love these ), this combo can’t be more effortlessly chic.
2. Suit Jacket + Leather Pants + White Sneakers
Here is proof that less truly can be more. Turn a simple all-black outfit into a work of art by combining a very classic suit jacket (see ) with a black turtleneck underneath (like this gorgeous ) and leather pants. Add a pair of white sneakers for a “chic-décontracté” (smart casual) look.
3. Cardigan + Long Wool Coat + Jeans
Wide-leg trousers look great with absolutely everything. And if you don’t have a pair in your wardrobe yet, now is your chance! This season, I love these comfortable yet chic . Pair them with a classic cardigan (like this ) and a long wool coat with shoulder pads (like this ).
4. Turtleneck + Camel Wool Coat + Jeans
This classic fall outfit is foolproof. This season, throw a camel/tobacco/cognac long coat slightly oversized with shoulder pads (I love this ) over the combo black turtleneck, jeans, and boots and you’re good to go.
5. Tweed Matching Set + Ballet Flats
A tweed matching set is perfect for those fall days when you want to have a look a little more polished. Like Camille, pair it with black sheer tights (I love Sézane’s tights with black polka dots) and a pair of pointed-toe flats (my favorites are these ). Endlessly versatile, the cardigan can look great on its own paired with jeans or dress pants and boots.
6. Checked Blazer + Dress Pants + Sneakers
If you decide to throw on a blazer this fall, consider opting for a checked blazer like this beautiful . It is flattering, versatile, and looks good with almost everything. Keep the look “chic-décontracté” (smart-casual) with a black turtleneck underneath. And opt for the combo dress pants and white sneakers for a more sophisticated look. Très chic!
7. The Denim-on-Denim Outfit
If you want to take an easygoing approach to dress up this fall, consider opting for a denim-on-denim ensemble. Keep this look sweet and simple with slightly oversized classic jeans and shirts. Add suede boots and a cross-body bag. This look proves just how polished the coordinating combo could be.
