I’ve Saved 73 Pictures of Cute Fall Outfits, and These Are by Far the Best

Let’s just say that since Instagram started allowing users to save posts, the screenshots folder of my phone hasn’t seen as much action. My collection pages, however? Those have become a key place for me to save whatever I’m seeing for the future, and right now my eyes are set on layered fall outfits.

Blame it on an unseasonably warm October in New York thus far, but all I can think about are sweaters, jackets, scarves, and all the other pieces of my closet that have barely seen the light of day so far. Thankfully, the time I’ve saved in putting together outfits for true fall temperature I’ve spent curating ideas of which looks to try ASAP that bring comfort, warmth, and creativity. Below are my 13 favorite current examples that utilize of-the-moment trends, classic autumnal fabrics and colors, and the clever layering tricks anyone can master.

The scarf and sunnies might say summer but not when paired with a cozy, lined windbreaker.
Light-as-air maxi dresses get the fall treatment with the addition of a corduroy jacket.
Breathe new life into your easy shirtdresses by pairing them with skinny jeans beneath. It’s also much warmer than just wearing it with tights.
The corduroys, the denim blazer, and the vintage tee are individually amazing, but so much better when worn together.
It’s fall so velvet pants can happy make a return to our wardrobes now.
Skinny jeans and a fuzzy oversize sweater will never not make our list.
A classic autumnal plaid feels fresh with a clashing color combination among your socks, blazer, and button-down top.
What this outfit tells us is that leopard is a neutral this fall and therefore a complement to your statement trenches.
The pairing of midi skirt, sweater, and tall boots keeps you covered head to toe (in clashing prints and colors, no less) but in a way that doesn’t feel bulky.
If you can still swing sandals and your favorite silk dresses, this oversize blazer is the ideal, unexpected topper.
We’re just eager for the days when fuzzy bomber jackets make regular appearances.
Fall calls for hiking boots. And it’s even better when paired with a chic, neutral-colored slip skirt–and-polo combination.
Give us all the (nearly) winter whites. Now.
Also available in more sizes.

‘Tis the season—not for watching Halloween movies, but for dressing like you’re in one.

The Outfit Combo I Swear By for All-Day Errands in NYC

When she’s not working with big names like Lupita Nyong’o, Jennifer Hudson, and Hilary Swank or acting in her capacity as the official Armi Captain at luxury rental and styling platform Armarium, celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger divulges her fashion expertise in our Ask a Stylist column. From the best places to source vintage to the secret to finding your most flattering jeans, come back each week for a professional’s perspective.

As for most adults, my weekends are typically packed with all the errands I didn’t quite get to during the week, like picking up my dry cleaning and taking pieces to the tailor—the list goes on. When it comes to dressing for these #adulting days, I have a signature outfit combination I swear by. Since I don’t want to look like a slob, I go for a practical yet polished uniform so that I can stylishly accomplish my tasks. I’ve found that I can’t go wrong with solid jeans (if you read my weekly column, then you know I swear by these ones from Madewell), a simple T-shirt layered under a slightly oversize blazer, polished accessories, and, of course, comfortable ballet flats. Functional and foolproof, it lends just enough personal style to my practical look. Shop the key pieces you need to add my reliable NYC outfit combination to your rotation below.

ATM is one of my go-to brands for wardrobe basics like white tees. 
A solid price for a designer tee. 
You can never have too many white tees, in my opinion. 
Leave to Levi’s to make the perfect T-shirt. 
Sunglasses are key to making any outfit look polished. 
Not your average gold hoops. 
I love the idea of wearing this signet ring on my pinky finger. 
Anine Bing designs some of the best blazers. 
A plaid blazer is a must-have.
So into this fall hue and the detailed ties on the sleeves. 
Such a great price for a blazer you’ll get so much wear out of. 
I swear by these skinny jeans from Madewell. 
Cropped flares always lend a fashion-forward feel. 
Really feeling the dark denim hue here. 
If you’re looking for an under-$100 option, add these to your cart stat.
