Fall Fashion Favorites

Fall is slowly coming us here in New England. While the forecast for the coming week has temperatures in the 70s, I still want to discuss fall fashion. All the seasons have a different place in my heart, but fall dominates the fashionista in me. After a summer of just trying to stay cool, it is nice to be able to put on clothes that feel and look good. You can stay warm while not having to sacrifice a cute outfit to a bulky coat. And now I give you my favorite clothing items that come with the fall air;

 1)Boots, whether they be suede, leather, black, brown, knee-high or thigh high, boots are always a must-have and a staple in a fall wardrobe. Boots come in all styles, colors, heights and can never bring an outfit down in my opinion. So far I have seen some great riding boots that are great for casual outfits.

Riding boots such as these Bare Traps Riding Boots can be added to any outfit and make it look great. Boots like these can be dressed up or dressed down and will an essential for the whole season. Pair them with jeans and hoodie, or rock them with a dress and some tights.

2)Hoodies, I doubt many fashion forward people would consider a hoodie a fashion item, but in my book it is an essential and everyone should have as many as they see fit. Hoodies do not have to be a large, bulky sweatshirt that lives in the back of closets reserved for a lazy day. These days hoodies come in slimmer fits and can show your shape rather than hide it. Personally I own more hoodies than I will ever need, but they are just so darn comfy. They provide warmth and can be stylish.

This hoodie from Gap has a slimmer fit and still looks cute. You could wear this with jeans of any color or add a cute scarf. Hoodies like this give the ability to stay warm, but still be able to wear cute shirts underneath for when the temperatures go up a bit. Hoodies, get them, love them

3)Tights, don't you worry tights are no longer for elementary school, now they are a great way to transform summer dresses and skirts into wearable fall outfits. The first time I thought about wearing tights I did feel slightly childish, but then I saw all the different colors, textures, lengths and options of tights. I realized tights had grown up like I had. Oh what a wonderful discovery that was, no longer did I have to give up my dresses or subject my legs to the crisp breeze. My favorite would have to be any with a sweater texture. They just look cute and comfy, and that is always a great combo.

These great tights can be found at Target and are a great deal. Most department stores carry different brands so look around and you will be sure to find a pair that work for you

4)Sweaters, oh man sweaters are just the best. Literally the most versatile piece of clothing a person can own. I don't even need to go over the ways that sweaters can vary, they are just too perfect. Jeans, pants, skirts, dresses, all can be paired with sweaters and all can look wonderful. My favorites sweaters are the chunky cable knit ones, they pretty much are the mascot for fall. The great thing is there are many fit options and not all sweaters need to be large and hanging off you, although those are pretty great.

Those are some of my favorite fashion items of fall. More will be followed later as I comb through all my inspiration pictures. The great thing about fashion is that it can be whatever you want it to be. Do not follow trends if they are not your style, just wear what makes you feel good. Fashion is a form of self expression and do not let anyone dictate that. Have a wonderful first few days of fall and enjoy the bite in the air before it turns to winter and we all want to hibernate. Until we meet again!
