Fall is the time of pumpkins, apples, foliage, hoodies, football, and more. For all of these things, fall is my favorite season. However, I find that it can be quite difficult to dress for the fall being that it is the transitioning season between summer and winter. With global warming as an issue at hand, we have even experienced forty-degree days in the beginning of October and seventy-degree days at the end of October. With a little experimenting of my wardrobe, I have found a number of items that I feel are definite fall must-haves that can satisfy any weather within that degree range.
1. Thick Wool Scarf
Wool infinity scarves, such as this one, help keep heat insulated in your neck and make a great accessory for the colder fall days. I also find that scarves like these can dress up a cozy outfit that may seem too basic.
2. Knee-High Socks
Knee-high socks are perfect for those days where the weather is appropriate enough to wear a skirt but still chilly enough to need some kind of leg warmth. Tights and leggings can sometimes be too overbearing and bring too much warmth, but knee-highs will provide a substantial amount of warmth while adding a cute touch to your outfit.
3. Black Leather Jacket
Black leather jackets have been a fall staple forever. Though they may seem thin, I have found that because of the material, leather jackets can be very warm, especially when layered up on the extra chilly days. Not to mention, black leather jackets will always match and give your outfit an extra edgy touch.
4. Ripped Black Jeans
Ripped black jeans are a definite must-have for my closet. On my laziest days, I know I can pick out a pair and match it with nearly any top and shoes. The rips allow for yet another touch of edge for your look, but the jeans will surely still keep you warm on a chilly day.
5. Oversized Sweater
Oversized sweaters are the best! They're big, they're warm, they go with any bottoms, and they suffice as your go-to top. They're great, whether you need a lazy day with your hair up in a bun or a dress up day with a statement necklace.
6. Black Leggings
Black leggings are possibly my favorite fall staple, for the main reason that I hate jeans. Although jeans sometimes fit an outfit better, no bottoms provide the amount of comfort and neutrality that good 'ol reliable leggings hold.
Having all six of these fall staples will surely leave you loving the season and keep you fashionable throughout!
