Work: fall
Work in fall brings with it some fun fashion options in our opinion! You can take a lot of the items you wore during the summer and pair them with something more fall-appropriate — like a tailored long vest over a summer dress, or long, crisp jeans with a cotton wrap top. It’s transitional weather, so it’s like you can mix summer and winter items in one outfit for the perfect in-between combination. The weather still likely allows you to get away with bare legs for your skirts and dresses, so embrace that while you can! And start adding in warmer sweaters, layers, plaid, tweed, corduroy, jackets, scarves, and rich autumnal shades of reds, pumpkin oranges, mustard yellows, and warm greens. 💼 Here’s the best outfit ideas for your Monday-to-Friday style!

Dresses:
Dresses are so perfect for work in the fall. The weather is usually warm enough for bare legs, so wearing an autumnal, chic dress is so easy. Try a shift, shirt dress, sweater dress, wrap dress, or a jumper style. Layer with blouses or jackets, or just a little crisp structure with a waist belt.
Jumpsuits:
Jumpsuits give a sleek, professional look for work! They are very appropriate for the office - in subdued colors like soft pink, camel, muted green, burgundy, or black. Add cute pumps or mules!
Skirts:
Skirts are really feminine but can also be very refined and professional! Try a sleek midi or pencil skirt, or a pleated A-line. Wear a colored skirt with a really basic top or sweater, or wear a basic skirt with a more interesting top.
Pants:
Pants are always a super chic choice for the office! Wear tailored pants with a matching top or blazer for a very professional vibe, or add a striped tee, cute blouse, or turtleneck sweater. For fall, experiment with tweeds, wools, knits, plaids, and fur details.
Jeans:
Skinny or flare jeans are great for the office when paired with conservative blouses and jackets! This is your casual Friday inspo (or inspo for the rest of the week too if your office has a more casual dress code).
