Top 5 Fall Fashion Essentials

By Zoe Hardy

September is here and fall can’t come soon enough. No matter how you choose to vivificate your wardrobe, remember to choose some pieces that you’ll wear again next year. Investing in essentials that can be worn all year long or saved for next year's trends is the smartest way to go. Dress these up or down, and don’t forget to add your personal touch.

Since Labor Day typically represents the end of summer, it is a fashion commandment that you do not wear white after the first week of September. So retire your white denim jeans until Memorial Day. Snag a cream or winter-white pair that is versatile all year long.

When choosing what pieces to resurrect from the attic, keep a minimalist standard while introducing pops of color. Fall is the season for cozy cashmere and knitted sweaters. Don’t feel intimated about bringing in more muted colors, though. Sometimes less is more.

The easiest way to spice up your simple outfit is to bring in one loud fashion statement that pulls the look together. Whip out the bold boots and strut down the street. Find a color that fits different settings, whether work or a happy hour with the girls.

Leather pants were all the rage last year and they’ve returned for fall 2022. Paired with a tight long sleeve and puffer jacket or a chunky knitted sweater, they are the new staple of fall and winter wear.

Silk skirts and wool tops are the perfect duo. Slide on a sexy silk skirt and oversized sweater to keep you warm. Top off the ensemble with simple heels or trainers for running around town.
