As October ends, the weather cools and fashion tends to make a shift. Long gone are Halloween t-shirts, costumed celebrities and short sleeved days. Instead, thick sweaters, fuzzy socks, and warm colors fill up clothing racks. It’s always a difficult season as people try to balance warmth, comfort and style. A pair of sweats and a cozy sweatshirt is always the easy choice but sometimes we want something a little more fun. And while many think more style always means more money, this month we’ll give some fall advice to keep yourself warm, cute, and comfortable all without breaking the bank.
Today we’ll work from the bottom up, breaking down the trends.
Shoes
Uggs have slowly taken over the markets the last few years but their diversity in style has grown tenfold this year.
The Mini Uggs boots, as seen in previous years, are still making their stride on this years trends, but now, multiple options are available. Ultra Mini Uggs are available for those who want a shorter style and both of them have gained a plethora of “Dupes” these days. Uggs have always been a pricey item to wear and are not untouched by the influx of prices.
At the time of publishing, Mini Uggs in at a price of $160 dollars while the Ultra Mini Uggs cost $150 dollars. With these high prices comes a little better quality as they typically last more than one season and hold up better in colder, winter conditions. Along with better quality standards, colors also tend to differ more with real Uggs as they both come with nine colors online and sometimes limited edition drops.
There are many options for those who are looking for a cheaper alternative to these trendy boots taking over the fall season. On Amazon, the brand Zizor makes a great pair of Winter Boots that look almost identical to the Uggs brand. They come in four staple colors and have almost four and a half stars with good reviews for warmth and durability.
Bottoms
When the weather cools down, every year people are faced with the change from shorts to warmer bottoms. Sweatpants are always an easy choice but this year we’re going to share some simple staples to spice up your fall wardrobe.
Staple Jeans are the best for a fall wardrobe as you can create a myriad of outfits for multiple occasions. Baggy Jeans from Urban Outfitters come in eight different colors and cost under a hundred dollars. They are a perfectly trendy choice that buyers can wear all year round and last multiple seasons.
If you’re looking for a pair with a little more flair, this pair of Pinstripe Low Rise Jeans from Edikted are perfect and come in under fifty dollars. They’re a simple yet fun pair that will guarantee compliments when paired with anything from a simple sweater to a cozy sweatshirt.
Both of these jean options will keep warmth in the winter while spicing up outfits the perfect amount for a day out with your friends or even a nice dinner this holiday season.
While Jeans are a great choice to create a fun and stylish outfit this fall season, sometimes people are looking for a little more casual comfortable. Leggings have been a staple for years and while they’re simple and comfy, they have the power to slightly elevate an outfit.
Flare leggings are an even simpler way to make an outfit just a tad cuter. Paired with a fun sweater or puffer jacket, flare leggings are a comfortable option this fall that are way more fun that boring old leggings. Aerie has a pair of Flare Leggings that hold up with great reviews and come in basic colors like black but even fun colors like pink to spice up your fall outfits.
Tops
Sweaters and Cardigans are the first thing many people think of when it comes to fall season fashion. From the familiar motif of a fuzzy white sweater or the image of a famous celebrity wrapped up in a long cashmere button up, sweaters are a perfect go to when trying to stay warm and stylish this season.
Cable knit sweaters have been a staple for years and there’s no doubt that trend is stopping this year. For readers who are trying to get in on this trend, some cheaper alternatives can be found on Amazon. A Cable Knit Sweater can be found in 11 colors all under thirty dollars.
Along with Cable Knit Sweaters, another comfy trend that’s been rising is turtlenecks. They’re the perfect way to make any outfit a little more classy and dressed up but also serve as a perfect way to keep you warm and comfy with the cooler weather. In either a thin t-shirt material or thicker fuzzy sweater, Turtlenecks come in a myriad of styles to create trendy outfits.
Jackets
And last but not least, the perfect way to spruce up any outfit while keeping yourself extra comfortable this season is with a cozy jacket. They can make or break an outfit so making sure you have a cute one that still keeps you comfy is essential.
Puffer jackets are the most simply way to keep yourself cozy. We recommend getting some staple colors like black or white so you can match them to any fun outfit and compliment it perfectly. The North Face makes the staple puffer that everyone thinks of but we know those can get quite pricey so we recommend this puffer from Hollister that comes in eight colors including those perfect staples.
If you already have your staple puffer jackets and are looking for something a little more fun and fresh, then a fur aviator might be the perfect option for this season. The jackets with real fur can get quite pricey but Amazon has a couple choices that come in Faux Fur Aviator Jacket options. The inside fur keeps you warm this season while the outside keeps you stylish with outfits for many occasions.
In conclusion, fall seems to be the season where comfort starts to overpower fashion but it doesn’t have to. Any of the options above are perfect to spruce up your outfits and garner compliments from strangers on the street all while keeping you warm and comfortable.
