It’s no secret that Fall is one of our favorite times of year. The cooler temperatures, the falling leaves, the crisp, clean air, hot apple cider, pumpkin spice everything – the list goes on and on. Outside of those things, it’s the fall fashions that get us excited. Every one knows that person who dons a scarf & boots on October 1st, regardless of the temperature. We can relate!! We are those people. And since we are well into October, we are almost overdue in sharing with you our top five fall fashion favorites.
1. Boots
Boots are always a great fall fashion addition. We’ve been living in open toed sandals & flip flops and now our toes are feeling a bit chilly. We love a good knee high boot, but our favorite way to transition into the season is with a cute neutral colored bootie. They’re comfortable, cute & warm, and with a small heel they add a little more elegance to even the most casual outfit.
2. Leggings
We love to be comfortable, but we’d rather not sacrifice looks for comfort. Enter patterned leggings! What a simple way to add some fun to a basic, comfortable daily uniform of leggings and a slouchy tee or oversized sweater! What is the massive appeal of leggings? See stretchy material and an expandable waistline, full of forgiveness for “mummy tummies” and thunder thighs. Keep your patterns small & simple to achieve a more slimming silhouette. For the most flattering look, keep tops long enough to come to the middle of your thigh.
3. Leather Jacket
Leather jackets are perfect for fall. They typically provide just enough warmth to stave off a chilly October breeze and look way cuter than a windbreaker. Lol!
I purchased this authentic Italian leather jacket in Florence in 2006 and it has held up amazingly well. However, it doesn’t have to be a real leather jacket. There are plenty of imitation leather jackets, in all different colors, that are just as perfect for fall. The texture of a leather jacket adds so much dimension to your outfit and seems much more appropriate for fall than any other season. Pair it with a plaid shirt and some ripped jeans and you’ll complete an adorable autumnal ensemble.
4. Blanket Scarf
I was OBSESSED with these blanket scarves last season. By the time I had jumped on the bandwagon, I was way late to the party and couldn’t find them anywhere. This cute plaid scarf was purchased from the Target dollar bins a few weeks ago for – wait for it – SEVEN dollars!! Of course I snatched it right up and probably should’ve grabbed a few more in different colors (self control!!!). I think this accessory may be my absolute favorite of the five. What’s cozier than wearing a warm blanket around your neck? Am I right?
My favorite way to wear it? Take the blanket square and fold it in half diagonally to form a triangle. Take the two opposite ends all the way around your neck and tie them underneath the piece in front. Fluff it up until it looks the way you want. Instant cozy!
5. Leather Handbag
Have we mentioned we like leather for fall? I would recommend mixing up your leather colors if you plan to wear your leather jacket & carry your leather bag. A gray leather jacket with this brown leather handbag is a great complementary combo! Whether you prefer a cute crossbody bag, this large oversized one or anything in between, it’s the final piece to pull your fall outfit together.
6. Felt Hat (Bonus!!)
Ok, we couldn’t leave this one out and “Six Fall Fashion Favorites” just doesn’t have the same flow. A felt hat is an adorable way to keep your noggin warm and cozy in these cooler temps. Think you’re not a hat person? Give one a try and see what you think. You can find them in all price ranges and for just a few dollars, it’s worth trying out something new. It could totally change your style this season! Not to mention, it’s a great option when your hair is less than its best on any given day. Dry shampoo only goes so far. Throw that cute hat on and go grab a pumpkin spice latte. You’ll have the makings of a perfect instagram-worthy selfie.

I just love boots with tassles. I bought my first pair last Fall and wanted to wear them so bad since then!
I love catching end of the season sales, but the wait to wear what I bought is so hard!!! Lol.
Boots are always my favorite fall look. I have lots of fuzzy and comfy ones that are perfect for when there is a chill in the air.
The felt hat and the bag! Absolute must haves for me. I love dressing up in the fall, so many options and so many styles.
I love the fun leggings, those are really in right now. I remember when I was a kid and that is all I wanted to wear!
These fashion pieces are some of my favorite parts of the beautiful fall weather! I’d love to pick up a new pair of boots like yours.
I live in leggings during the autumn months, I even wear them under my jeans sometimes when it gets really cold haha! I love the blanket scarf idea
Great idea to wear leggings under your jeans!! Jeans are not the warmest.
I do love me some boots. I am happy to say things are cooling off enough to wear them.
I still don’t own a pair of leggings. I really want to purchase a pair or two. I just have no idea what to wear them with!
Leggings are amazing!!! So comfy. I don’t know about the quality, but Walmart has some for like 3 bucks. Can’t beat that!
In my book, any top that comes past your crotch is fair game. Probably something a little more loose fitting too. There are plenty of baggy sweaters and loose fitting tees/tunics to wear with leggings. I’ll try to pin some ideas to our Pinterest board today & you can check that out for some inspiration!
Love Fall too and though we don’t get much here in Florida I enjoy wearing the occasional boots with some boots and a cute scarf for cooler nights.
I’ve never been a leggings fan, but now that I’m pregnant, I’m living in them!
1-4 are my favorite things too. I think I am due for a new leather coat though. Mine is old and not very trendy.
They have some really cute ones out this season! I went the faux leather route, and will probably wait until the end of the season to buy a genuine one. Amanda’s is just perfect, though! Pretty sure I’m going to have to borrow it… Ha!
I love these picks for fall favorites! I love wearing boots during this season, they’re my favorite footwear! I have everything in this list as well.
Ooo! I am feeling fashionable this fall! I am in love with the LulaRoe leggings. So comfy. I need a new our of. It’s though. Got to get on that!
Fall is also my favorite season, I’m so glad that you’re getting ready. I love your Scarf.
Every time I see a felt hat I have to laugh. I have a great one from the Box of Style, and when I showed it to my 3-yr old niece she informed me it was boring. LOL. Personally I love a great hat or scarf, and I definitely love fall boots and booties.
My husband isn’t a fan either, but I keep seeing all of these cute photos with people wearing them and I’m like, “Why not?” Let’s do this!!! I just heard about the Box of Style today, and am freaking out because I didn’t know about it before!!!
These are all fall must haves to keep you warm and comfortable. I love the printed leggings and boots.
YES I love all of these things. Boots and legging are my immediate to go wardrobe fall essentials. Way to pull off that felt hat! It looks great!
Thank you so much! This one’s from Altar’d State. It was a splurge, but so worth it!!!
My favourite thing about fall has to be boots.Despite complaining about the weather us Britons love fall fashion, especially boots.
Ha! I think we all do! I starting wearing mine really early this year, and so did Amanda. We just couldn’t resist!
I love these ideas, but the boots and the leggings, yes! They are the best part about Fall!
Fall is definitely the best season. I love breaking out my leather jacket – but leggings I wear year round! LOL. My brown boots are also a staple.
I don’t blame you! I think Jess & I both do the same!! Lol.
I love the fall weather and the outfits!!! Fall is the time to shine!
I love them all! I could live in leggings, but add in some cute boots and a cozy scarf and it’s heaven! I just found some extra warm leggings at Target too and I loved them!
Oooo, are they fuzzy on the inside?? I love that kind for the colder months. Sounds like I need to make a trip to target. ? (As if I needed this excuse!)
I need all of this and a PSL! I love Fall fashion and I think it’s so great to feel cozy and comfortable. Boots are my fav!
Right!?! That pumpkin spice latte is sounding really good right about now… Now I’m going to have to head to Starbucks! Lol.
All of these are my fall must haves! I can’t wear the hats much anymore since I chopped all my hair off, but I love them! I have one for my oldest daughter even. I can’t wait for it to cool off enough to dress for fall!
Amen, sister! Fall is our favorite for so many reasons, but especially the fashions! I bet you could totally rock a hat, though!
I am so happy when boots are back in season. I will admit though, I’m one of those odd people that’s either always barefoot or always in boots, lol. Cannot stand sneakers or socks.
We love them, too, and I totally agree with you. I’m either barefoot or booted!!!
I LOVE ALL OF THESE!!! I am so annoyed that I live in Florida each and every fall! I hate that we cannot even start to wear some of this stuff until January. Whatever they are adorable and I will rock the boots and leggings the second I get the chance.
Boots, leggings, and a cute scarf are my staples for Fall. Fall fashion is part of what makes me love Fall!
Gorgeous fall picks. I love a good pair of boots, I actually need new ones. Love shopping for autumn clothes!
Thanks, girl!!! Boots are so versatile! They’re definitely my favorite of the five (er… six). I’m in need of a good cognac pair, so if you stumble on any, let me know!!!
OMG! Everything you listed here are my workhorse wardrobe for Fall! Love it! Thanks for an awesome post!
Yay!!! Thanks so much! Breaking out these items is one of our favorite things about ringing in the season!
Omg agree with all of this!!! As much as I hate fall weather… I do love boots and leggings!!!! I’m totally obsessed
I am definitely a leggings type of girl in the fall! I love them with an oversized sweater.
I just got my first blanket scarf and I am in love! Definitely a perfect Fall staple to have in your wardrobe.
