You know what today is?? If you don’t get this then I’m afraid we can’t be friends…

It’s the first day of fall, y’all! Not going to lie, I’ve been living my life as if it has been fall for the past couple weeks already. And that’s because fall is, without a doubt, hands down, my absolute favourite season of the entire year. There are just SO many things to love about it – the crisp air, apple picking, pumpkin spice lattes, spooky movies, football, the colourful leaves, decorations, scented candles, cuddling on the coach, vegetarian chili, pumpkin patches, delicious pies, and the list goes on for miles. But, the number one thing (and most obvious thing) that literally makes me giddy like a child over the fall season has and always will be the fashion. 🙌  There is truly just nothing better. 

I’m talking the knit sweaters, the turtlenecks, the loafers, the trousers, the hoodies, the button-ups, the denim, the shackets, the wool socks, the high boots, the hats, the coats, the plaid, the oversized everything. So. Damn. Good. You can’t tell me that you don’t feel this too. I believe that fall is just good for the soul, no matter who you are. Unfortunately, here in Canada, we don’t get as much of the fall season as we would like. This means you better start prepping your outfits now so none of them go to waste, my friends!

One of the hardest tasks for me was narrowing down this list of fall outfits to share on the blog this week. Here are some looks I will be rocking this fall season:

The trends I’m LIVING for this fall:

Oversized Blazers 👔  – This is not a new trend in any way. Oversized blazers have been hot all of 2021 thus far, thanks to Hailey Bieber. But the difference with the oversized blazers transitioning into the fall is how you layer them – adding overtop of a cashmere sweater or a turtleneck provides a much different feel than over a cropped tank in the summer. Honestly… the bigger, the better in my opinion. HACK – I have the best luck with oversized blazers at second hand stores!

Preppy 🤓  – School is back and so are the preppy school kid-inspired looks. This means the collared shirts (either worn on their own, or layered underneath a knit sweater or crewneck), oversized cardigans, khaki coloured pants, and pleated skirts. Fall has always typically been the time of year where you would see the back-to-school looks blossom, but this year more than ever you will see a lot more people dressed as if they’re going back to school even though they aren’t in school themselves. Myself included!

Vegan Leather 🌱 – A trend you will be seeing EVERYWHERE, guaranteed. This material has completely changed the game and made the look of leather cool again without harming anyone or anything in the process of creating it – win-win. Whether it’s vegan leather blazers, trousers, shorts, leggings, or button-ups, it’s here and it’s now and everyone wants it. I personally am a huuuuuge fan of this one and find it takes a look from average to CHIC real quick. 

Cowboy Boots 👢 – Yeehaw! The classic cowboy/western boot is here to stay this season. This fall, a lot of designers are really embracing the equestrian look and feel which is why cowboy boots are absolutely everywhere you look. Think Ralph Lauren. If you can find a nice vintage pair, consider yourself one of the lucky ones because they are sold out just about everywhere. Paired with straight leg jeans and a cropped jacket… that’s one cute ass outfit.

Vests 🦺  – This is a trend that comes and goes onto the runway, but this year it has come back with a bang. Vests are absolutely everywhere this season in so many different looks and feels – wool vests, sweater vests, puffer vests, and quilted vests. Paired with a turtleneck, a sweater, or a t-shirt, the vest is a total vibe this fall. 

Loafers 👞 – Ah, the good old loafer. Another trend that has come and gone many times before. But I’m telling you that this year, everyone and their mothers will be wearing loafers. Showing off your loafers and pairing them with a nice, crisp white sock is the look of the season. This looks super cute with a skirt or dress. 

Loose-Fitting Denim👖 – RIP to skinny jeans. The world welcomed loose-fitting denim with wide open arms and a kiss. Whether it’s wide leg jeans, straight leg jeans, flare jeans, mom jeans, or dad jeans, loose-fitting denim is where it’s at. Not only is it chic AF, but they are freakin’ comfortable which is key. 

STRIPES 🦓 – The pattern of the season FOR SURE. Stripes in all of their beautiful shapes and styles are so in. You will see stripes on button-ups, blazers, pants, skirts, dresses, sweaters, and even socks and tights. I personally am a big fan of the chunkier stripe in a sweater or collared shirt. I think it is sooo chic. 

Ohhhh fall. I could go on and on if you let me, but I will stop myself here. Mostly because my pumpkin spice latte is ready for pick-up and we all know it doesn’t taste the same when it’s cold. 

Happy fall shopping y’all. MWAH! 

Until next hump day…

Peace & love!
