I’m pretty sure I’m not speaking for myself when I say that fall is the best time for fashion. All the layers paired with subtle pops of color are perfect for showcasing your personal style. Fall is also the time where the work load tends to get a little heavy. Professors start to pile on the assignments and after awhile it all starts to build up. With this being said passing your classes is the first thing on your mind and your appearance tends to take the back burner, leaving less time to get ready every morning. With these 5 autumn essentials you can put together an effortlessly stylish look in a matter of minutes.

·         The Autumn Parka: this versatile piece can also transition into the winter with some additional lining. But it allows you to stay cozy in the fall without adding heavy layers. You can pair it with a fun printed tee and jeans. In the winter it can be paired with an oversized knit and a scarf.

·         Booties: the time has come to leave behind all your cute sandals and Birks to pick up some cozier shoes. Booties are a cute and comfy way to be stylish. With so much variety the styles can range from class to a night out on the town.

·         Jeans: finding a good fitting pair of jeans can definitely be life changing. So its time to get out and find those life changing jeans. Distressed jeans are really in but if the holey look isn’t for you, you can opt out and go for jeans with a slit knee. This alternative gives you an edgy look without feeling too much of a breeze.

·         Chunky Knit Cardigans & Sweaters: as the temperature goes down the need to stay cozy definitely increases. Chunky knit cardigans and sweaters are a cute way to stay warm. Mix it up and add a pop of color to your outfits with your sweater. You can also wear your favorite summer tops in the fall and throw on a cozy cardigan for some much needed layering. Layering will definitely become your BFF in the fall.

·         Hats: we all know that beanies are good for keeping you warm in the colder months, but structured hats are making a comeback! The possibilities for headgear are no longer limited to beanies. Non-beanie style hats can range from fedoras to floppy hats. This new headgear can give a simple look a touch of class.

I hope these 5 autumn essentials make your shopping and daily routines a little easier and help with the transition to winter!
