The ability to create the perfect fall outfit takes a lot of knowledge about fashion. From understanding the right way of layering clothing to keeping warm, these are all factors of fall fashion. The criteria of fall attire is trendy yet warm. Therefore, intentionally layering clothing rather than throwing a coat over an outfit is key to achieving a put-together look.
A starting point for the perfect look is the base which contains basic items of clothing. This includes: plain black or white turtlenecks, neutral colored tank tops, and leggings. When creating an outfit, it’s important to note that the base is essential.
To get the “wow” factor of an outfit, it is essential to incorporate a statement piece. Items that make an outfit pop could be a fun sweater, jacket, bright colored shirt, and even unique pants. It is best to go for one item to base your outfit on.
Once you’ve chosen a statement piece, think an orange sweater as an example, select a neutral item to match. This could be white or black jeans. Neutral clothing ensures that the statement piece compliments the outfit without appearing tacky.
After the foundation for the base outfit is set, the next step is layering. Layering is what really assembles fall attire. Clothing for this consists of coats, scarves, gloves, leg warmers, or anything that helps build the outfit. For example, a sweater and jeans would pair well with gloves and leg warmers, and adding on clothing that looks cohesive with the rest of your outfit works perfectly. Additional under clothing like leggings underneath jeans and long sleeved undershirts provide warmth while also giving the desired layered look.
One of the final steps to establishing the perfect fall outfit is to accessorize. Accessories to consider are hats, jewelry, and purses or bags — all of which are adequate for polishing off autumn attire. As for shoes, there is a loose range of selections to choose from.
I follow this process when creating a comfortable and cute outfit for the autumn season. These steps are adjustable to each individual and allows for creative freedom and expression while still achieving the fall aesthetic.
