5 Creative Ways to Upgrade Your Fall OOTD

Fall is such a strange time for fashion. In some parts of the country, it's still blazing hot, and in others, it might feel like a winter chill is knocking on your door. So, it leaves you wondering: what do you wear? And how do you still achieve the fall vibes you know and love?

Ahead, find five easy ways to elevate your autumn wardrobe, regardless of where you are on the map.

Seasonal Colors

First things first—pick out colors that feel appropriate for the season. Whenever we wear neon or pastel colors, it takes us out of our autumn mood. You can drastically change your attitude toward your outfit by adding jewel tones.

If you're lucky, you might be able to make the most of your closet with a color reading, which can tell you which shades look best on you.

Add Soft Textures

The fabric of your clothing can completely change what season your outfit looks best in. For example, imagine you have a button-up shirt. If it's linen, it will look and feel most comfortable during a hot summer day. But in the fall, it'll look unusually beachy. Instead, try velvet—something warm.

One rule of thumb we like to use is that if it looks soft and cozy, it's great for fall and winter.

 

Lots of Layers

The colder months are when you can take advantage of layering your clothes. Adding more dimension and complexity to your outfit is the simplest way to look more "put together."

If you live in a warmer climate, you might want to avoid wearing too many layers, but that doesn't mean it's impossible. Rather than opting for a flannel-and-vest combo, try a light cardigan over a tank.

Shoes Are Everything

Regardless of the time of year, we live in sneakers and slippers. That said, we can confidently tell you that it can make many of our outfits feel dull. Trade them in for a pair of booties or loafers, and we feel twice as good about our look.

Fall Accessories

Don't underestimate the power of accessories. There have been many days where we are running out the door with none on, and frankly, we feel naked. Adding jewelry always brings life to our OOTD, and if you want something more functional, it's not too early to break out your beanies and scarves.
