Outfit Formulas to Master for Fall
If you’re looking for casual fall outfit ideas to take you into the season, these are classic combinations that start with solid basics that you can mix and match, and also make your own with fun accessories.
1. Fall Outfit Formula to Master: Jeans and a White Tee

This is a simple and classic outfit formula. A good pair of jeans and a crisp white tee just cannot be beat. It works for every occasion, it always looks effortless and chic and it’s easy to recreate over and over again with various accessories.
Pair jeans and a white tee with a cardigan, a chambray shirt or a moto jacket. Try sneakers and sandals and various tote bags to take it from casual to work or weekend styles.
To get this outfit formula right, investing in a good quality white tee is key as well as finding a pair of jeans that is comfortable and easy.
At the moment, one of my favorite white tees is from Everlane. And my favorite new denim brand Pistola. The fit of their jeans is incredible. [ Read my review of the Pistola jeans]
As a stand by, Madewell jeans are also great.
Don’t want to wear jeans? Try a denim skirt. This outfit formula would work just as well with a denim skirt.
2. Fall Outfit Formula to Master : Trousers For Everyday

We’ve been conditioned to think that we need to save our dress pants tailored pants, for formal occasions or work, but this fall add a pair of trousers to your everyday fall closet and maximize them with your existing pieces for an effortless casual style.
To take the “formal” out of dress pants or trousers pair them with sneakers and a white tee. One of my most popular outfits lasts season was a simple trouser and white tee shirt that I paired with Chucks and a sweatshirt.
To master this outfit formula, find a crisp white tee with a high collar so it peaks out just slightly out of your sweatshirt.
For a contemporary look, pair trousers with ballet flats, especially mesh or rhinestone detailed flats are on trend this season.
This pair by Abercrombie & Fitch is my favorite pair, especially because you can get them in shorter style to wear with flats.
3. Fall Outfit Formula to Master | Chunky Sweater & Midi Skirt

This fall outfit idea is a classic and easy combo to wear on repeat all season. Pair your summer skirts with chunky sweaters for a flawless autumn outfit. Accessories are key to making this simple fall outfit formula work. Don’t be afraid to add a belt to help define your waist if this outfit feels frumpy.
Also, pair with sneakers, boots or ballet flats for an easy work outfit or even date night.
I really love a good midi denim skirt for this outfit formula or a silk midi skirt.
4. Fall Outfit Formula to Master | Cardigan & Maxi Dress

This is one of my favorite classic fall outfit combinations, especially because you likely have a few maxi dresses from summer. Now is the time to style those summer maxi dresses for fall. Add a chunky cardigan, a belt to define your waist and boots for an effortless fall outfit idea.
