Midi skirt:
From work to weekend, a midi skirt is an amazing foundation for a fall outfit! Black is always useful, but try other neutrals like navy blue, colors like pink, and patterns like leopard print, too. One of the great things about midi skirts is you can wear them with just about any footwear, and they are super chic with taller boots in the cold months! For work, wear a midi skirt with other polished pieces like turtlenecks and blazers. See more ways to wear midi skirts here.
Shop midi skirts at Free People, Express, and Banana Republic.
Dark-wash jeans:
Going into fall, skinny jeans in a dark wash are super useful! They are the perfect base for all those fall layers and boots. Dark skinny jeans can be easily dressed up or down for all the fall days. See more ways to wear dark skinny jeans here.
Straight-leg jeans:
Straight-leg jeans are really trendy lately and they are ideal for fall weekend and dinner outfits! Look for a beautifully-fitting pair (it can be a little tricky with straight, rigid jeans so try on some different versions). An ankle-length pair allows your shoes to be exposed — show off cute heels, booties and sneakers!
Shop straight-leg jeans at Levi’s, Madewell, and Free People.
Leggings:
Leggings are another wonderful fall bottom! Like skinny jeans, leggings are form-fitting and slim which makes them pair super well with chunky, voluminous layers. Leggings are cozy too, they feel like you’re wearing pajamas all day (which is one of our fave parts!). Combine your leggings with all those fall plaid shirts and big sweaters.

Look for leggings at Express, Loft, and Free People.
Faux leather leggings:
More LEGGINGS! Add a pair of faux leather leggings to your fall wardrobe for a dose of sexy edginess. Contrast this feeling by pairing them with preppy stripes or a girly pink blouse, or play up the edge with a grungy plaid shirt worn off the shoulder or a form-fitting top!

Versatile pair of joggers:
A versatile pair of joggers is comfy like sweats but can be dressed up for the office or for dinner! What’s better than that?! A sleek pair in black is a great go-to that can even be worn to a job interview when paired with a blouse. Or wear your joggers with a sweatshirt for super-long flights to feel like you’re wearing pajamas (such a style trick). See more ways to wear joggers here.
Shop joggers at Express, Anthropologie, and Free People.
Utility pants:
Utility pants go with literally everything — they are like a blank canvas! This pants style is an everyday alternative to denim. Try olive green or tan colors for a versatile neutral that will look amazing with tees, blouses, blazers and sweaters! See more ways to wear utility pants here.
Plaid trousers:
Plaid is iconic of the fall season — so why not wear it on your pants?! It’s a great way to add interest to an outfit and all you need to do is pair plaid trousers with closet basics like white or black tees and jackets. Then, finish the look with some strappy sandals, chunky boots, or a pair of white sneakers. See more ways to wear trousers here.
Great plaid trousers can be found at Zara, Loft, and Anthropologie.
Wide-leg trousers:
Get a pair of wide-leg trousers in a heavier fabric made for the cool months! These are rich and elegant. Try bright emerald green, warm brown, cool pinstripes, funky plaid, or basic black. See more ways to wear trousers here.
Shop wide-leg trousers at Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and White House Black Market.
