Fall Fashion Staples: Elevate Your Style with the Perfect Haul
Fall is the season of change, and what better way to embrace it than by updating your wardrobe with a few new fashion staples? I'm sharing the must-have pieces I got during my mini Fall haul, and we'll explore why you need these or similar staples that will help you look your best while keeping it cute this Fall. From the best Prada dupe combat boots from Zara to trendy denim from Maison Margiela, amazing loafers from Chanel AND Coach, super cute neutral-toned chunky knit sweaters from Abercrombie & Fitch, and two of my favorite pieces from Everlane, I've got you covered. Let's dive into the details of my fall haul and how I hope it inspires your shopping journey.
Oldies But Goodies:
I plan my shopping hauls so I don't overspend or impulse buy, but it doesn't always go according to my plan. But going into this Fall season, I did pretty well. I purchased things that were on my wish list and items that I already had that I loved and needed in alternate colors because it just made sense. That said, I didn't need much because I have a bunch of oldies but goodies from last season that I'm super excited to pull out and style this season.
Zara Combat Boots:
When it comes to finding the perfect boots, Zara never disappoints. You all know that I loved my Zara Sock Boot that I raved about last year. They are super cute and versatile, but I've had my eye on the Prada Monolith Combat Boot for a very long time because I wanted an edgier look. I finally pulled the trigger and got them, but when they arrived, because I got the men's size 7 (my size in women's, so I thought), they were too big, so I sent them back. Disappointed but not defeated, I went to Zara to browse, and there they were, the best Prada dupes a girl could ever ask for, LOL. The combat boot is totally my style, and I can pair them with a multitude of fall outfits. Whether rocking them with leggings and a hoodie or a flowy dress and a leather jacket, these boots will add an edgy touch to any ensemble.
Trendy Maison Margiela Denim:
So let me start by saying the Maison Margiela cut-out wide-leg jeans I purchased were a splurge for real. I had wanted to jump on these trending jeans since last year but could not do it because of the price tag. Well, let me tell you, one of the fashionistas that I follow dropped the details that these babies were on sale, and sure enough, the purchase was complete, LOL. I'm not saying that you have to splurge, but getting a cute pair of wide-leg jeans for this Fall will be a handy addition to your wardrobe. Pair your jeans with ankle boots and a chunky knit sweater for a chic and effortless look.
Amazing Loafers from Chanel and Coach:
Loafers are a timeless footwear choice that effortlessly combines comfort and style. They were my vibe when I was much younger, but I recently jumped back on the loafer trend after seeing them styled in many ways that I loved. I spotted the Chanel loafers and instantly fell in love, knowing that the light brown patent leather would work perfectly in my wardrobe. I will also state that these babies were a splurge, but considering the cost per wear, I've almost gotten my money's worth because I've worn them practically every day since getting them (okay, not quite) š. If you think you are not a loafer girl, trust me, try a pair on, and when you do, come back and let me know in the comments what you think. The Coach loafers were at a better price point, and I got them in black patent leather, which is super cute. These shoes will add a touch of elegance to any outfit. Whether you opt for the classic Chanel loafers, the chic Coach loafers, or any other brand of loafers, they will elevate your Fall looks. Pair them with tailored trousers, a blouse, and a blazer for a polished office look, or dress them down with jeans and a cozy sweater for a more casual yet sophisticated vibe.
Super Cute Neutral-Tone Chunky Knit Sweaters:
Chunky knit sweaters are essential for Fall, and Abercrombie & Fitch and Everlane were my go-to destinations for finding super cute options. Their collections boast a variety of sweaters that are both cozy and stylish, but I'm into browns, creams, and blacks, which is just what I got. From oversized cable-knit designs to fitted ribbed sweaters, a versatile chunky knit can be layered over dresses, paired with jeans, or worn with skirts and tights. Embrace the warmth and comfort of these sweaters and be on-trend this Fall.
Everlane Oversized Blazer and Wide-Leg Pants:
To complete my fall shopping, I couldn't resist adding my favorite Everlane oversized 80's blazer in a tan color to my haul. My black one is such a versatile piece that I dress up and down, so I knew the tan one was a must. It's perfect for various occasions. I have this same sentiment regarding my tan Way-High Drape Pants, so I got them in black. Everlane came through for me with the blazer and the pants, and now that I think about it, I can make at least 10-15 outfits with these four pieces alone. Check them out; they work in all seasons, plus they are cute and comfortable.
It's a Wrap:
