Mixing cozy with chic is a definite benefit of fall fashion, but it can also be a very challenging look to achieve. While you want to wear clothes that keep you snug, you certainly don't want to risk looking like you just rolled out of bed. The following five fall must-haves will ensure that you never get too comfortable in the midst of the chilly months to come.
1. Blanket Scarf
Having read our November issue, you already know that the blanket scarf is here to stay and is the epitome of a fall fashion staple. Finally, an accessory that doubles as a blanket for naptime. Wear it as a wrap or tie it around your neck like a scarf – no matter how you choose to wear it, you are sure to love it.
2. Leather Jacket
In fall, we can become so dependent on our cozy sweaters and fuzzy socks that we forget to incorporate a little edge into our wardrobes. That's what the leather jacket is here for. Mix this rugged piece with one of your daintier blouses for a perfectly balanced look.
3. Poncho
We were sad to see these babies go and are welcoming them back with open arms. Maybe you have an old favorite from ten years ago, or perhaps you want to explore some of the new livelier prints. The poncho has no limits this season and ranges from preppy to bohemian to oversized and petite.
4. Ankle Booties
If you already own a pair, you know how handy these are. Not ready to retire your pumps for the chillier months? Swap them out for an ankle booty with a heel or wedge. These can dress up any outfit while still keeping your feet comfy.
5. Long Cardigan
This trend came and went, but lucky for us, it's back again! Secure yourself a long duster cardigan, and you might wear it everyday until spring. Wear it over a pair of sleek black pants or your favorite jeans, and you are good to go.
Investing in a few of these items could mean your chicest, coziest season yet.
