The 8 Most Versatile Pieces for Your Fall Wardrobe

All signs point to fall, which means storing away your favorite summer clothing to make room for cozy sweaters, great denim, and stylish jackets.

Today I’m sharing the eight pieces that will serve as a great start to a ton of perfect-for-fall outfits to make this your most stylish season yet.

 

1. The Moto Jacket

There’s nothing more low-maintenance than a perfect moto jacket — it can be dressed up or down, with heavy layers or as the lone scene-stealer. No matter which fabric you choose, a moto jacket adds a textured piece of warmth — and an of-the-moment cool factor.

Channel your inner Frenchwoman in classic stripes in any silhouette. Stripes add a bit of pattern while still remaining relatively neutral — a black-and-white number is an everyday blend of classy and sassy. Looking for even more ways to style them? Click here.

3. The Metallic Pleated Skirt

One of my favorite pieces for fall, I absolutely love how this bottom can go from day to night in an instant. I’ve worn mine with fun sneakers and a fitted sweatshirt for running weekend errands, and then transformed the look with basic black pumps and fun accessories for girls’ night out.

4. Leather Leggings

Leather leggings are the absolute best combination of edgy and classy. I like to rock mine with sneakers and a sweater for the daytime, then switch to chunky booties or strappy heels for a night on the town. They’re super warm yet super sexy — solving the clothing crisis of what to wear on a night out when the weather’s cold.

There’s something so classic and chic about a blazer. It’s an easy styling piece that works from denim to dress pants. Menswear options and muted plaid versions are having a major moment this season. Style Tip: Don’t be afraid of pairing black and navy. It’s a classic color combination that reads luxurious and fashion-forward.

Give your skinnies a break with a pair of high-waisted straight-leg jeans. We all know the versatility of denim, but I especially love this silhouette because of its cool factor. Tuck tops in, wear them out, add pumps, wear flats — this shape works with virtually any outfit because of its classic lines and figure flattering shape.
