Fall Outfits for Women

Women’s Fall Fashion Outfit Ideas

With the change in season just around the corner, it’s time to peruse early fall outfit ideas! Women’s fall fashion has some of my favorite styles of the year. From rich earthy colors and jewel tones to cozy sweaters and button downs, I love it all. As we inch towards autumn, transitional styles are the name of the game, especially for anyone living where it’s still 9000 degrees. (I exaggerate, of course; it is a mere 98 degrees out in Tampa today.) Here, I’ll be sharing some of the best early fall outfit ideas to carry you through from summer to autumn:

Transitional Sweaters, Tops, and Dresses

First and foremost, fall means sweaters. I love a cozy sweater. Even though I live in Florida, sweaters are pretty useful during the fall. That is, for when the AC in restaurants and the like doesn’t quite match with the outside temperature. That’s why I love lighter weight layering options. For these, I love checking out good capsule wardrobe brands, along with sales at big stores like Nordstrom or Bloomingdale’s. For example, I love this Patch-Pocket Sweater Lady Jacket, or cropped casuals, like this Cashmere Cropped Sweater Tank and this Cropped Sweater Tee. They’re easy to layer and would look great with jeans, shorts, or a skirt.

Dresses, Skirts, & Bottoms

As far as bottoms go, I don’t wear jeans too often. As a petite woman who doesn’t want to tailor ever pair of jeans, I am a big fan of skinny jeans and not so much a fan of wider leg flare styles. I will compromise, though, with a straight-leg style. That being said, I was really drawn to the relaxed style of the Curve Love High Rise Mom Jean. Further, I am really tempted by J.Crew’s Mid-Rise Vintage Slim-Straight Charcoal Wash Jean. Both of these styles are skinny without being too form-fitting, a good option if you’re still intimidated by wide legged pants. Pair them with one of the best Golden Goose dupes or boots for a casual day-to-night look, or heels for a dressier option.

As for sweaters, I love a good cardigan or quarter-zip, like the two options featured in the top row below. If you’re looking to add more warm neutral and beige color in your wardrobe, then the Half-Zip Stretch Sweater is a great option!
