7 Fall Must Haves

7 Must Haves for Fall

As we approach mid-September, it’s time to start switching gears and make the transition to fall. If you’re anything like me, you dread the feeling of those summer nights fading away, but what better way to make yourself feel better than a shopping trip? Here are my top 7 must haves for fall:

         1) Leather jacket

Leather jackets are perfect for fall, and can be layered with sweaters and scarves on those chillier days. They are a staple piece in anyone’s wardrobe because they are literally classic and will never go out of style.

    2) Ankle booties!

First of all, how freaking cute are these? You can wear them with jeans either tucked in or rolled up, skirts, dresses, anything! Boots are always classic for fall, but ankle booties are more versatile and can easily transition between day and night.

               3) Chunky knit sweater

Chunky sweaters are the way to go this season because they’re warm enough to be worn alone but can also be layered with jackets, scarves, or statement necklaces. Bonus: they’re super comfy!

      4)   Pick a scarf, any scarf!

As a slightly obsessed scarf fanatic, I would argue that scarves are a must have for any season, but fall is there real time to shine. Fashion scarves can be an accessory for literally any outfit, and thick, knit scarves can be used to keep you warm as well as a statement piece for your look.

5) Open-poncho cardigan

These are basically sweater versions of kimonos, which was everyone’s favorite summer add-on this past season. So why not bring a warmer version along with us for fall? These cardigans are an easy way to dress up any outfit, and are super easy to throw on when your outfit needs a little something different.

6)  Beanies

Beanies are a fun way to bundle up and accessorize! They can be worn over the top of your head, or pinned loosely on the back of your head to give your outfit some extra flare.

7)    Boot socks

Boot socks are a perfect add on to any fall outfit because they’re cute and they keep you warm! There are even a bunch of DIY’s for these on Pinterest. Throw on these high socks with your tall boots paired with jeans, leggings, skirts, or dresses and you’ll be ready to jump into fall!
