Cuddle up with a spiced latte and a good book and enjoy the crisp transitional weather. Read on for the best toppers for your fall wardrobe.

Long cardigan:
When fall hits, have some long cardigans around to toss on over an outfit! This slouchy layer is cozy and comfortable, making it perfect for lazy days. A black long cardigan is really useful to help you transition between the seasons. Or go with a nice autumn color like burgundy or forest green! See more ways to wear long cardigans here.
Look for long cardigans at Gap, Free People, and Anthropologie.
Poncho:
One of the most fun ways to “fall-ify” an outfit is layering a poncho pullover sweater on top! This cape-like topper is both functional in keeping you stay warm as well as fashionable. Wear a poncho over slim-cut jeans, skirts and T-shirts, for a balance of silhouettes.
Shop ponchos at Loft, Anthropologie, and Free People.
Fleece/puffer vest:
Vests are excellent for transitional weather — they are easy to take on and off as the weather varies through the day! Add some warmth to your outfit with a fleece or puffer vest. They look great layered over tees, blouses and sweaters, and can also peek out from under a coat! See more ways to wear vests here.
Shop fleece/puffer vests at J.Crew, Nordstrom, and Gap.
Light jacket:
Include in your fall essentials a casual, light jacket for an easy outer layer. Utility and military styles are perfect for this, in olive green, navy blue or tan. Choose a slightly boxy style to be able to accommodate thicker sweaters and layers underneath! Wear your light jacket on its own in fall, and then in winter you can add bulkier outerwear on top. See more ways to wear light jackets here.
Find light jackets at Forever 21, Gap, and Urban Outfitters.
Oversized jean jacket:
We are OBSESSED with oversized jean jackets! They just look so cute and feel really stylish and cool. The large, oversized cut lets you fit even chunky layers underneath which means you can put it on over just about anything! Throw it on with a feminine skirt or dress to add a little casual edge to your look. Or wear it with quintessentially-fall plaid shirts! See more ways to wear jean jackets here.
Blazer:
A blazer is the perfect “3rd piece” for a fall ensemble, providing some instant structure and polish. We particularly love oversized, slouchy cuts — they act like a light overcoat! There’s many ways to wear them — with jeans and a tee or sweater, over a minidress, belted for the office, and more. See more ways to wear blazers here.
Fleece jacket:
Fleece jackets are one of the pleasures of cold weather (in our opinion!). They have a sporty, casual vibe, making them great for daytime looks. But they also can be contrasted with refined pieces like leather trousers and printed pumps!
Find fleece jackets at Urban Outfitters, Free People, and Nordstrom.
Moto jacket:
Get some biker-chic style in your life with a moto jacket! Black of course is awesome for a moto jacket, but why not wear one in a rich color like emerald green or cherry red? Seek out a beautiful moto jacket that is perfect on you. A great moto jacket is like a dream and the soft leather only gets better with age! See more ways to wear moto jackets here.
Look for moto jackets at Levi’s, Nordstrom, and Anthropologie.
Trench coat:
Like in spring, fall is an excellent time for a trench coat! The transitional, fickle weather of the season call for a great, not-too-heavy coat you can pop on. A trench coat adds instant classic chic style to really any outfit! Pair one with jeans and dresses alike. See more ways to wear trench coats here.
Get a trench coat at Banana Republic, Lucky Brand, and Nordstrom.
