Fall is officially here, which means everyone’s favorite fashion season has finally arrived. It’s time to wear layers and get excited about leather jackets, cozy sweaters, and comfortable boots. It’s also when cozy materials start making an appearance — from shearling to wool to cashmere, a chill in the air means people are more thoughtful about staying warm with their fall attire.

Not sure what’s trending this year? Here are some of our favorite fall outfit ideas with shoppable links to update your closet.

12 Fall Outfits You Need

1. Belted Sweater Over Dress

This belted cardigan and dress look is a fall outfit classic, especially when paired with knee-high boots. You can wear this ensemble with bare legs, or tights once the full autumn chill hits. Both the denim dress and cardigan are perfect for layering and will be in heavy rotation in your closet.

2. Chic Polo

This fall we’re putting a new spin on the classic polo and turning it into a super cute outfit. We’re especially into textured polos like this Fendi number which looks extra cozy yet stylish at the same time. Pair with wide-legged jeans for a casual fall outfit or a leather skirt for a sexy evening number.

3. Sweater Vests

Sweater vests are huge this fall, especially if they come in quintessentially autumnal houndstooth. If you’re not sure what to wear this fall, a sweater vest over a dress or shirt is a great update to your wardrobe. Best of all, this trending item comes in an array of colors.

4. Fall Floral Print Pants

Floral prints aren’t only for summer! In fact, this fall you’ll see lots of pants, sweaters, and skirts that come in floral prints perfect to brighten your mood on a dreary day. You can even wear floral prints together as a top and bottom, like in the super cute outfit above (which is from Danish designer Stine Goya).

5. Deep Purple

Purple is huge this season and is one of our favorite fall outfit ideas. There are so many shades of this hue that you can easily wear it head to toe (like in the outfit above) or just use it as a pop of color in your wardrobe. We’re particularly enamored by the color amethyst in the purple color family (as seen in our reel here) but are also huge fans of lilac, lavender, and burgundy which will brighten your fall outfits this season.
