Let’s get into it!
Oversized Blazers + Relaxed Trousers

Oversized blazers are in this fall, and I don’t mind them. Pair it with a relaxed trouser, and you’ve got a look that is equally boss and effortlessly chic. I love how this is for work, coffee dates, or even just pretending I have my life under control.
Styling formula: Oversize blazer + basic tee + relaxed trousers + loafers or sneakers
Why it works: It’s comfy, polished, and you can wear it to work or brunch.
Personal tip: Go for plaid or neutral for maximum versatility.
Graphic Sweatshirt + Pleated Skirt

Graphic sweatshirt translates more punk fashion while pleated skirt kind of signals more girly, hence the lovely combination then. This is a casual look for me, where I would be carrying a sweatshirt to a cafe meet on casual Fridays or weekend brunch.
Styling formula: Graphic sweatshirt + pleated midi skirt + sneakers
Why it works: Playful, comfy, and of-the-minute.
Personal tip: Front tuck the sweatshirt for a neater look.
Sherpa Jacket + Leggings

Put on a sherpa jacket with leggings, and you’ve got a warm hug to wear outdoors. This ensemble is my all-time hit during winters.
Styling formula: Sherpa jacket + black leggings + chunky boots or sneakers
Why it works: It’s warm, practical, and a problem-solver for the cold.
Personal tip: Invest in a supportive beanie; it will add both style and warmth.
Statement Scarf + Simple Sweater + Jeans

Never underestimate the power of a statement scarf; sometimes everything one must exude luxury. I have a ridiculous collection of scarves, but they always make my outfit look better.
Fashion formula: Statement scarf + simple sweater + jeans + boots
Why it works: Add color, textures, and warmth.
Extra fashion glowing: Go with a plaid or animal-printed scarf for a true fashion statement.
Mock Neck Top + Leather Skirt

A mock neck top paired with a leather skirt is equal parts sleek and edge and feels very contemporary. A great combo for a date night or night out with friends.
Fashion formula: Mock neck top + leather mini skirt or leather midi skirt + heeled boots
What works: Texture mixing is effortlessly chic for cooler weather.
What to remember: Tights are a delightful addition, layered for both trap warmth and extra style.
Flannel Shirt + Corduroy Pants

Go all out with a flannel shirt and corduroy pants for a traditional fall look. This is basically the outfit that cries, “I am all set for apple picking.”
Styling formula: Flannel shirt + corduroy pants + ankle boots
Why it works: It’s timeless, practical, and fun to wear for all your fall adventures.
Personal tip: Roll up your sleeves and half-tuck your shirt in the front for a laid-back look.
Puffer Vest + Hoodie + Straight Jeans

This is an absolutely casual cool combination where puffer-vest-over-hoodie sounds warm and stylish and so utterly NYC. I love running my errands on the weekend with this for walking.
Fashion formula: Puffer vest + hoodie + straight-leg jeans + sneakers
What works: Keeps one toasty warm, very pragmatic and quick to throw on.
Styling advice: Choose a bright puffer vest as a seemingly bright spot amidst gusty weather!
Belted Sweater Dress + Tights

Slap on a belted sweater dress plus tights for those brisk, cool days. The combo is great: it is quite flattering, especially because it gives warmth, and an unusual belt or earrings can be simply paired.
Fashion formula: Sweater dress + belt + opaque tights + knee-high boots
What works: Congruently is the flattering fit, keeps warm and is easy to accessorize in.
Fashion Tip: Adapt a statement belt or large, eye-catching ear pieces to dress it up.
Chunky Knit Sweater + Maxi Skirt

The chunky knit + maxi skirt combination is an absolute favorite during the autumn season, and with good reason: Cozy, ladies, and just made to work with a good number of pieces. I like to take a thick cable-knit with an airy, printed skirt-the contrast gets me.
Styling formula: Chunky knit sweater + flowy maxi skirt + ankle boots
Why it works: The textures play into each other, and print mixing or staying simple is totally up for grabs.
Personal tip: If you want to give more shape, add a belt to define your waist.
Leather Trench + Wide Leg Jeans

Leather trenches are experiencing a tremendous surge in popularity in 2025. Throw on one over a pair of wide-leg jeans for instant “cool-girl” energy. I thought once that leather coats were too much “into it,” but you’d be surprised how wearable they are.
Styling formula: Leather trench + fitted turtleneck + wide-leg jeans + heeled boots
Why it works: It’s edgy yet wears well for everyday.
Personal tip: Try a colored leather trench (like burgundy or forest green) for a modern twist.
Sweater Vest + Button-Down + Mini Skirt

The trend of sweater vests does not stop here. This one is to be layered over a crisp button-down and paired with a mini skirt for that truly preppy, on-trend look. I love this for back-to-school vibes-even if my “school” is just my home office.
Styling formula: Sweater vest + button-down shirt + mini skirt + knee-high boots
Why it works: It’s playful and layered, making it perfect for transitional weather.
Personal tip: Go for plaid skirt for extra fall points.
Statement Trench Coat + Monochrome Base

Total power move: a statement trench (think bold color or print) over an outfit done in neutral tones. It gives me joy how bright an outerwear can make even the simplest outfit look like it has some intention.
Styling formula: Statement trench + matching top and posing pants + sleek boots
Why it works: Because the coat does all the talking, you won’t have to think too much about the rest.
Personal tip: For those who are wary of color, go for a classic plaid or houndstooth.
Plaid Shacket + Straight-Leg Jeans

The plaid shacket is the pumpkin spice latte of outerwear: loved by everyone without fail, and rightly so. Perfectly fits the bill as the in-between layer in unpredictable fall weather.
Styling formula: Plaid shacket + straight-leg jeans + basic tee + chunky boots
Why it works: Casual, cozy, and super easy to layer.
Personal tip: Buy a size up for a more relaxed, street-style vibe.
Turtleneck Dress + Tall Boots

A turtleneck dress to wear with the complement of tall boots defines the ultimate “I’ve got it together but really, I’m super cozy” outfit. For everything from brunch to date night, I live for this look.
Styling formula: Turtleneck sweater dress + tall boots + crossbody bag
Why it works: It’s warm, flattering, and easy to accessorize.
Personal tip: Add a belt if you want to define your waist.
Denim on Denim

Officially, the Canadian tuxedo is back in vogue. Combine mismatched washes for an exasperated modern look with a very simple formula-the bosom of bold but chic silhouettes, double denim sounds risky but is actually super chic when done right.
Styling formula: Denim jacket + denim jeans (different shades) + white tee + boots
Why it works: It is bold, but done right, it is super chic.
Personal tip: Break up the denim with a statement belt or a colorful bag.
Faux Fur Coat + Slip Dress

There’s no deeper definition of fabulous yet not chilly – faux fur or extravagant jackets worn over a slip dress. For nights of play or just when you want to feel a little more extra.
Styling formula: Faux fur coat + slip dress + heeled boots or Mary Janes
Why it works: Glamorous, warm, and super great for nights out.
Personal tip: Layer with turtleneck or tights to up the warmth factor.
Utility Jacket + Striped Tee + Black Jeans

Depending on the body silhouette, utility jackets are in style for autumn. Although stretched, a slightly oversized utility jacket could be paired with a black and white striped tee, a black jean, and a simple sneakers shoe. This is one simple fashion style that can bail anyone out of looking dull and boring.
Fashion formula: Utility jacket + striped tee + black jeans + sneakers
What works: Timeless; can work for every sort of casual occasion.
Styling addendum: Add an oversized scarf for extra warmth.
Cropped Cardigan + High-Waisted Trousers

A cropped cardigan over high-waisted trousers is a strapping and compelling sight of days that once was. You have a choice over a classic but little retro look to wear it to the office or a coffee date.
Fashion formula: Cropped cardigan + high-waisted trousers + loafers
What works: It is quite flattering and so comfy as can be dressed up or down.
Styling addendum: Try wearing a pastel cardigan to infuse a light look.
Longline Vest + Turtleneck + Jeans

Longline vests are versatile layers that instantly dress up anything they’re worn with. Try pairing long vests with turtlenecks and jeans. I love to wear this to work or out for dinner.
Fashion formula: Longline vest + turtleneck + jeans + ankle boots
What works: This layering gives you depth and keeps you warm without adding volume.
Styling input: Try a bright-colored, toned-down vest for a statement.
