Finally, it’s here. After months of waiting, a brutally hot summer, and more sunburns than I could possibly count, the greatest season of the year is finally here to grace us with its too short presence.
There are lots of different reasons to love fall, whether it’s the changing leaves, the pumpkin flavored everything, or the magical scents that come along with it. But personally, I like the clothes.
Now, I will be the first to admit that I maybe like fall a little more than the average person (but also is it possible to like fall too much?). It is by far my favorite season, and while the rest of the year is okay, I guess, fall is basically the peak. And what is a good fall without a good fall style?
First, there are the boots – the glorious, dark, hardcore boots. While wearing boots is not really a seasonal thing (I wear them throughout the year, except during the summer), putting on some hardcore boots in the fall somehow just feels that much more special.
They are, some would say, they only acceptable footwear for the fall season, and if you don’t find the right pair… you might want to stay inside this year.
Obviously, the best sort of bottoms to wear with your to-die-for boots would be jeans. Skinny jeans are the only option.
Now, I’m 5’3, which means that finding a pair of skinny jeans that I don’t have to roll up is pretty impossible, but rolled up skinny jeans is a look that most everyone can work it. Or, you know, don’t roll them up, but know that you’re more or less failing fall style when you don’t
Next, you need a sweater. A warm-and-cozy-and-super-comfortable sweater.
Warm sweaters are one of my favorite items of clothing, and I also get that much happier when we get closer to the time of year when I get to wear them.
Sweaters also come in all shapes and sizes, but I would say that when it comes to fall, the bigger the better. Get a sweater that sags.
Get a sweater that feels stuffy. Get a sweater that’s a dress.
Fall wouldn’t be fall without some flashy and fashionable make-up, and for this mysterious season the darker, the better. Go crazy with your looks, and treat every day like it’s Halloween.
All I’m saying is that a day shouldn’t go by that you don’t break out the face paint. That’s not even to mention that coats.
The right fall coat can make or break your fall style, and if you end of picking the wrong one your entire fall season is basically ruined. Now, I’m not going to say that going with the classic green coat is the only option… just that you will be completely devoid of style without it.
Ultimately, of course, the most important element of fall style is to be comfortable and happy in whatever you’re wearing. Playing around with different clothing and make-up can be a lot of fun, but it’s not enjoyable if you don’t feel safe and comfortable while doing it.
The more you experiment with what you wear, the more your style will grow and change over time. Going outside the box can sometimes lead to the best discoveries.
Or, you know, you can just throw on a sweatshirt and jeans and call it a day. Really, “fall style” is just whatever you choose to wear during the fall, and there is no reason why I or anyone else should be giving advice on this stuff.
New rule: to be a true fall fashionista, dress like a pumpkin every day.
