November is all about embracing the fall, from a soft autumn palette of reds and browns to the romantic boho revival of ruffles and fringe. During the colder months, when the skies are often overcast, our style becomes increasingly important. What we wear can significantly enhance our mood, so grab those brighter hues and soothing textures in your closet to lift your spirits."
Instead of immediately opting for trousers and denim with heavy jackets, consider layering lightly with multiple pieces. Take your classic slip dress and combine it with your favorite leather moto jacket and boots. Wear a classic trench coat with a white tee and jeans, paired with open-toed slides and sunglasses.
1. Maximal Minimalism
You might only need a few tweaks to create an interesting outfit. Explore your wardrobe and pull out those effortless pieces you already love — that perfectly fitting pair of jeans, or your little black dress. Now, add some flair. Add some sequins to your outfit, a brooch to a simple blazer, or a touch of feather, fur, or fringe to the sleeve of your dress, jacket, or sweater.
In this case, a simple beige button-down gets a dose of shine with sequins. The matching pants help take it into the realm of workwear (instead of night out). If a transparent top isn't your thing, try a sequined moto jacket over a striped tee with jeans or tailored trousers.
2. The Bomber
Bomber jackets are a hot trend this season. New silhouettes offer a fresh feel, with a loose fit and a cropped length. They're perfect with jeans or trousers for a modern, casual vibe, and they pair beautifully with skirts and dresses.
This oversized, distressed bomber jacket creates a perfect cool contrast with a lightweight T-shirt and sequined skirt. If a bomber jacket feels too heavy or bulky, opt for a cropped trench coat.
3. Vibrancy
Bright colors are making a significant entrance this season to complement merlots, browns, and all the cozy goodness we usually associate with fall. Imagine bright yellows and reds, purples and turquoise: color combinations that bring serious excitement and contrast." In this case, a rich, cherry red bag and scarf adds an essential "third dimension" to a graphic black-and-white outfit. But if that feels like too much, pair red with burgundy or brown instead.
4. 1970s Vibes
It’s been exciting to feel the resurgence of bohemian style. This season, I’m gravitating toward '70s inspired prints, earthy desert tones, and romantic details. Paisleys and soft florals bring that nostalgic charm but can feel new and forward depending on how they’re interpreted." This soft ruffled blouse is such a throwback — as are the gathered pants.
Your accessories can act as a throwback, too, in case you want to be subtle. I’m really loving that oversized sunglasses are back! They’re the ultimate statement piece. These shades would be the perfect '70s add-on to a simple tee and jeans.
5. Jewels
Fall is all about accessories: belt buckles, perfectly stacked bracelets, unique details on statement bags, bold rings, and horsebit embellishments on the perfect heels. Layering pieces creates a strong fashion statement and is incredibly stylish. Even the simplest look can be elevated with over-the-top accessories.
It's worth noting that these bold pieces don't have to be expensive. Pearl details soften these statement pieces, allowing them to complement the rest of the outfit.
6. Leather And Lace
Leather and lace are both trending this fall. Not only are they appearing on the runways of Chanel, Stella McCartney, Fendi, and Tom Ford, but you'll also see them popping up on the street. Imagine a lingerie-inspired dress or skirt layered with a leather jacket and boots for a light and romantic vibe.
Strictly speaking, this looks like a two-skirt combo: light lace paired with deep black, but you can also achieve the same effect by pairing leggings or opaque tights with leather boots. If you're looking to pair with outerwear, a lace skirt can look even more modern when paired with a more unexpected piece like a bomber jacket.
7 .Suiting
If you don't already have a full suit, now's the time to invest. A pinstripe suit is a classic, but oversized tailoring and bold accessories add a touch of excitement and dimension. In warmer weather, opting for sandals and a bare shirt is also fun.
You can also mix and match your business pieces. Start with an existing blazer and pair it with a pencil skirt or pleated wide-leg pants. I love bold color combinations, especially this season. Complete the look with a chic pair of loafers and an oversized, casual suede bag.
