Fall is such a fun time to play around with a wardrobe. It’s the perfect excuse to layer and bring out some of the more daring pieces thanks to the softening they receive from plush fabrics and forgiving combinations. And although five essential accessories for fall may not be enough to survive the autumn season for some of you more seasoned fashionistas, for others it may be exactly what you need in your closet to finish your outfits off right.
Layered Necklaces
Layering necklaces, according to Vogue, is a hot trend for fall. Pair this Gold Aurora Double V Choker with a few delicate gold chains that hang daintily below this necklace for a look that’s totally on trend. You can wear necklaces like these with something really simple, like a fitted long sleeve turtleneck, or over top your favorite sweater. It could easily be dressed up or dressed down. Fortunately, Lyst has a host of jewelry perfect for executing this look on the jewelry page—check it out for some inspiration.
Beanie with Ears
Elle features a rabbit-eared beanie, but any animal will do, including this Pom Pom Beanie from Forever 21. This adorable little hat will keep the warmth in this autumn and your style meter pointed on high. With a healthy dose of fun childhood nostalgia, these animal-eared beanies are great way for adults to act like kids again, but with a grown-up twist. Try dialing down the girliness with boyfriend jeans and flannel tees for that laid-back look, or wear it with a pleated skirt, over the knee stockings, and a sweater vest for a sweet, school-girl vibe.
Combat Boots
From goth to girly, from short and sweet to tall and bold, you can really match any clothing style with the right pair of combat boots. The fold over cuff style like the pair pictured above is really quite versatile. Wear them up or wear them down. Pair these quilted combat boots with leggings, skinny jeans, overalls, skater skirts, and even shorts. You can also slip on a pair of opaque tights or a pair of lacy boot socks to offset the edginess of the combat boots. The possibilities are endless and your toes will stay toasty all season long.
Cable Knit Scarf
If you don’t already own a cable knit scarf, then it’s about time you did. This classic accessory is perfect for the upcoming fall and winter weather because they keep you super warm while still looking stylish. The above solid cable knit scarf from Gap is perfect because you can wrap it in different configurations to suit your outfit and your look for the day. Layer the cable knit scarf over all your outerwear. And if you’re in the mood, don’t forget to add a simple long necklace, these look great peeking out from beneath strategically placed scarves.
Cross-Body Bag
Last but not least, we would like to suggest the cross-body bag for fall. Between holiday shopping and the normal hectic pace of life, it’s really nice to have your hands free as much as humanly possible. Whether it’s chains, faux leather, suede, or cloth that you prefer, there’s a cross-body bag out there that’s meant just for you. The Armani Jeans Gray Tassel Cross-Body Bag pictured above comes in a gorgeous, neutral warm gray and would look great with nearly everything this season.
