STYLE GURU STYLE: Shades of Fall

It’s finally upon us, Fashionistas. Summer’s been nice and all, but as soon as the first chill in the air hits, or you walk into your friend’s apartment and she has a candle burning that’s called “Crisp Autumn Walk”, that’s when you know: fall is here.

If you’re like me, you probably agree that fall is the most exciting season for fashion. Trust me, I love being able to look cool and more carefree during the summer, but there’s only so much I can do with a T-shirt and jeans (I’m just not a shorts person). So as soon as I felt the first hint of crispness in the air, I broke out my ivory overcoat. It’s comfortable, yet doesn’t skimp on style and because it’s a neutral shade, it will go with almost anything in your closet from a plain white T-shirt and jeans, to an oversized hoodie and dark leather bottoms for a more street-style look. Check out a similar style here!

I chose to play with a more autumnal color palette with my sartorial pairings and went with a light brown turtleneck sweater, and because it was a sunny, fall day, I paired the sweater with my gold reflective aviators. I don’t know what it is about these sunnies, but they remind me of fall so much, probably because the shade looks like a pumpkin spice latte, if the PSL was made of liquid gold or something.

My jeans are probably my favorite part of this outfit. Two-tone denim has been a huge trend as of late (see: Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Alessandra Ambrosio if you don’t believe me), and even managed to show up in the collection of Demna Gvasalia’s fashion tour de force, Vetements. Two-tone denim is a great way to give your jeans the edge they need, and look great on both men and women. The pair I have on sits higher on the waist and is a more relaxed fit, but will look great as skinnies also. Pair them with a sleek pair of ankle boots, and you’re all set.

I’m so hyped that fall is finally here, and I’m definitely looking forward to seeing everybody’s wardrobes do a complete 180 with the arrival of chilly weather.
