You’ve likely been waiting patiently in the scorching heat, ready to start piling on layers. Now that the temperature has dipped down to 60 degrees, it’s go time. Whether you’re digging your boots, jackets, sweaters, or turtlenecks out from the corners of your closet, the creative potential for fall outfits is all about taking those seasonal fall basics and mixing it with a few new trends. This season, the pervasive style is still leaning classic, with vests, chunky loafers, leather jackets, and knee-high boots among the mix, as well as menswear-inspired monochrome oversized suits (no matter what Saint Laurent’s Anthony Vaccarello has against them!). Needless to say, the preppy Princess Diana aesthetic that brought us the bike shorts craze is still here, and the girlies on Instagram and TikTok are ready to give this vibe one more run.
Still, making classic pieces feel fresh isn’t easy. To help with that, we’re sharing some #ootds that we came across on Instagram that have provided us with endless possibilities to take inspiration from.
For a lesson in how to style this season’s staples, look no further than the compilation ahead.

White athletic socks, worn with a fancy minidress, can be the difference between an outfit you like and an outfit you love. When it comes to layering, this is your reminder to break all the rules. Add a turtleneck to a little black dress. ICYMI: Dad khakis are on trend. Proof that if you think head-to-toe neutrals absolutely don’t have to be boring.
