Time to update the wardrobe.

Autumn is a great time of year for a wardrobe change, not only because of the decline in temperature, but also because there are many new trends and styles for fall. I personally think fall fashion is lots of fun. Fall clothing items can be very comfy and cozy. The are also extremely stylish. It’s great to experiment with different colors and textures as well! The possibilities are endless!
I have organized the following clothing items into cozy fall outfits. The great thing about many of these pieces is that they can be used to create multiple outfits.
A big oversized sweater: To me this is one of the best parts of fall. Getting to wear warm and cozy sweaters! The wonderful part about them is that they come in so many styles and colors. I like to style big sweaters with something tight for pants, like leggings or jeggings. For footwear, Uggs, combat boots or ballet flats would be a great finishing touch for this outfit.
Jean or leather jacket: I love layering for autumn fashion. Layers are also very on trend this season. Jean or leather jackets match with almost anything, and can be used in a variety of outfits. One possible way to wear a jacket would be to layer over a dress or shirt with combat boots, converse or vans for footwear.
Patterned leggings: Patterned leggings are a huge trend right now. Not only are they super cute, they are extremely comfortable. There are so many varieties of patterned leggings, so it’s really easy to choose something that fits your personality. They can be worn with an oversized cardigan, a plain colored shirt or sweater, or with a jean jacket. Some good show styles to go with this outfits would be converse sneakers, ballet flats or your combat boots.
Knee socks: Knee socks are in this fall. They provide warmth, as well as style, during the chilly autumn days. Knee socks are a great thing to wear instead of tights on a cold day. They can be worn with a dress of skirt with combat boots on your feet.
Slouchy cardigans: Oversized cardigans are very cozy and stylish. They are great to wear with a crop or tank top, or a T-shirt underneath. It’s great to add a pop of pattern or color to a big cardigan, by wearing either a graphic T underneath it, or graphic legging with it. Boyfriend jeans, leggings or jeggings are all great to wear with big cardigans. The best footwear to go with this outfit would be a pair of ankle booties, converse sneakers or combat
