For fall, corduroy is great for transitioning

The texture and warmth of the fabric is a great staple for this season, and this time around it is very in style to have a skinnier pant silhouette which allows for tucking into boots. Patterned denim is also great — keep an eye out for darker palates to stay in-season. “Wine hues are very big for this season, and thankfully, denim coordinates great with pieces in color scheme,” says Natasha Fussell, Online Stylist at Lonnys.com.

The bold colors are here to stay

The answer is once again: yes! It is all about how you mix and match your pieces. With a brighter pair of jeans, go with a more neutral color top. Color blocking is still very in for fall, but the rest of your outfit should be muted. It is all about having fun this fall and pushing the envelope!

Play with patterns

Why not create polka dot jeans using a bleach pen? Pattern jeans are hot for fall, and making your own out of an old pair is an easy way to look great while saving money. All you need is a Clorox Bleach Pen and an old pair of jeans to create a fresh new look.

Also, a cute look to pair with your polka dot jeans is an ombre denim shirt, like this one. Ombre (colors gradually fading from light to dark) is a big trend this season and is another easy DIY creation that can spruce up a wardrobe.

Go from day to night, easily

The best part about all of these options is that you can easily wear a boyfriend or cropped blazer to the office and still wear it out. Throw on pointy toed pumps and still feel sexy for a night out. It's also simple to wear a chic cami and switch out the blazer for a leather jacket, or just ditch the jacket and wear a sexy shell with statement jewels and you are set!
