As a fashion enthusiast, autumn is truly a source of inspiration for me to create outfits that are warm, stylish, and comfortable.

That’s why today, I'm sharing a comprehensive guide for this season, featuring outfit examples and practical tips.

The colours of clothing we wear in the fall reflect those found in nature: brown, burgundy, earthy tones, beige, and ecru... This season marks the return of warm and comfortable outfits. To dress for autumn, I recommend opting for natural fabrics such as wool, cotton, and leather. You can layer with oversized clothing: sweaters, coats, or wear your dresses and skirts with colourful tights. Don't hesitate to personalize your outfits with a vibrant top or shoes, or add a floral coat or an accessory with classic patterns (polka dots, tartan, or checks).

What Colours to Wear in Autumn?

Autumn is a season of change: the plants are adorned with stunning colours, and the temperatures drop. For many, it’s a chance for a fresh start: returning to school, starting a new job, moving... All these transitions can inspire a desire to reinvent your style and refresh your wardrobe a bit.

Thus, autumn outfits evoke the atmosphere and hues of the season. They are characterized by warm tones (like burgundy, brown, etc.) contrasted with natural colours (beige, cream, etc.). As winter approaches, white, grey, or blue—cool tones—can also make a comeback in your wardrobe.

5 Tips to Stay Stylish and Comfortable This Fall

If you're wondering what to wear in the fall, then this section is for you! I'll be sharing the essentials for putting together an outfit that fits the season!

Choose Natural Fabrics

After the summer, our bodies are no longer accustomed to the cold temperatures. Therefore, it’s essential to dress warmly when the cold weather returns. Comfortable and cozy, autumn outfits prioritize comfort and softness.

To achieve this effect, I recommend choosing natural materials such as cotton or wool. Brown natural leather is an excellent option for protecting yourself from the elements and complements the autumn colour palette beautifully.

Layer Up

One tip to stay warm is to effectively protect your skin from drafts: to do this, I recommend layering your clothing without hesitation.

For instance, you can wear knee-high socks over your tights with a pair of boots. Cardigans and sweaters will be great allies to keep you warm under your jacket.

Dare to Wear Bright Colours

To combat the little blues that come with the end of the lovely days, don't hesitate to brighten up your outfit with a vibrant colour that will lift your spirits. Consider a warm hue, like bright red or mustard yellow, which pairs perfectly with brown and natural shades. However, you can also be bold with contrasts like teal or even pink!

Wear Oversized Clothing

This type of cut is perfect for staying warm while looking stylish in the fall. Indeed, oversized sweaters and coats allow you to layer multiple thicknesses underneath while maintaining their shape, as they are specifically designed for this purpose.

Brighten Up Your Outfits with Patterns or Prints

People often mistakenly believe that prints are only for summer outfits, but that's far from true! Autumn is actually the perfect season to proudly wear clothing with patterns. If you have a more classic style, timeless prints such as checks or polka dots can be great choices.

But you can also dare to try floral or animal patterns, whether they're colorful or not, to make your outfit uniquely yours and create a style that truly reflects who you are!

Leopard print, for example, incorporates autumn hues reminiscent of the fur of this majestic animal, creating a cozy sensation. It is therefore a perfect match for the fall style!

The floral patterns will be perfect for adding a bohemian touch to your outfit and making it unique. Don't forget about tartan prints, which pair wonderfully with the fall style.

Monochromatic Earth Tones for a Bohemian Look

Whether it’s a dress, a skirt, or even a top, bohemian clothing is known for its comfort and natural feel. They are loose and comfortable, and by layering clothing, it’s possible to create warm outfits.

With a boho long dress or skirt, you can wear natural leather boots along with a long kimono jacket, allowing you to create a unique and elegant ethnic look.

To enhance your bohemian outfits, feel free to pair them with a wide belt, which will accentuate your waist and balance your silhouette.

Bohemian Long Dress

Stay Radiant with Light Colours and a Chic Style

Do you prefer light shades over the warm colours that adorn nature in the fall? During this season, it’s also possible to choose an elegant outfit by combining various light tones like white and beige. However, to balance your look, I recommend adding subtle contrasts with dark, grey, black, or camel details. This type of palette is perfectly suited for women with light hair or those who have a slightly tanned complexion: it’s indeed an ideal technique to highlight the end of your summer tan!

Jeans: A Reliable Choice for Anyone Who Loves Casual Fashion

To confidently tackle the back-to-school season, there’s nothing better than turning to some timeless basics. The classic jean, a wardrobe staple, pairs beautifully with most colours, keeps you warm, and works perfectly with cotton or wool.

In recent years, the trend has shifted towards boyfriend or mom jeans, which are slightly loose and flattering for most slender body types.

If you love the boho style, you can also choose a flare jean, or bell-bottoms, which will add a hippie vibe to your outfit!

The Fur Coat: A Stylish Jacket to Keep You Warm!

For a fall look that is both romantic and cozy, you can wear a faux fur jacket or a chunky wool sweater. This type of outerwear pairs perfectly with pastel and bright shades. It also goes really well with jeans to complete an everyday outfit.

If you’re petite, it’s best to choose a jacket that is relatively short and stops above your hips, as this will highlight your silhouette. If you are a bit curvier, mid-length jackets with a slight flare will be perfect for creating a more streamlined look.

What Accessories to Wear for the Fall Season?

They may only be accessories by name, but jewellery, shoes, bags, and hats are what truly define your style. They allow you to customize classic outfits every day, express your tastes, and create unique ensembles!

Tights to Keep You Warm

As the chillier days return, it's time to bring out your prettiest tights! They can be coloured, patterned, or even sheer. Tights are a great way to highlight your legs, especially when paired with a lovely short skirt.

Here are some colour combinations that work well:

• Gray and black,
• Burgundy and navy blue,
• Mustard yellow and navy blue,
• Purple and mustard yellow,
• Gray and yellow…

👉 If you choose colourful tights to brighten up your fall outfit, don't hesitate to incorporate a pop of that colour elsewhere in your look: scarf, bag, hairstyle, etc.

Chic and Feminine Shoes

Autumn brings back the boots and ankle boots, which you can wear flat or heeled depending on your preference. Be sure to match them with other leather accessories you're wearing (like a bag or belt…) to create a cohesive look!

If you're wearing a long skirt or dress, I recommend opting for ankle boots or flat shoes like derbies. If you choose a style that sits above the knee, tall boots or even thigh-high boots will be perfect for adding a sexy touch to your outfit!

A beret, a toque, or a hat to keep warm

Wearing a hat not only helps prevent colds, but it's also a simple and effective way to create a unique look. At the start of fall, you can wear a lovely felt hat in shades of brown to enhance your outfit. As the days get cooler, it's the perfect time to bring out a wool beanie that you can pair with a scarf and a set of gloves.

For an outfit that stands out, consider capes and shawls, which are perfect for keeping those who are always cold warm!

A carefully chosen bag and jewellery

It’s often easier to wear jewelry in the summer; it really highlights your arms and neckline. However, I highly recommend you keep wearing jewelry in the fall and winter. Bracelets and necklaces may be less visible, but don't hesitate to swap them out for earrings like a flat piercing, brooches, or even handbag charms. For versatile jewelry that looks great in both summer and winter, we recommend the Solstice ear piercing brand.

The hair accessories (clips, scrunchies) you choose are also great for adding chic and colourful details to your look. You can also bring some uniqueness to an outfit with a patterned or embroidered handbag.

My final piece of advice for finding a fall style that works for you is to try to wear at least one or two accessories each day that you love, while making sure to coordinate them nicely with your outfit!

I hope this article has given you some ideas for your fall wardrobe: in any case, trust yourself and don’t forget to be bold with different outfits! That’s how you’ll discover what makes you unique.
