Women's Style Guide: Fall 2021

The season of pumpkin spice and everything nice is upon us.

Whether you’re taking a trip to the pumpkin patch, sitting by a campfire, attending a Friendsgiving, or walking into church, this style guide will help you look FALLbulous no matter the occasion. For me, feeling confident in my own skin a lot of time revolves around picking just the right outfit. Style is a way to show your personality on the outside and that is my favorite way to express myself! 

LAYERS

Let’s be honest, Nebraska weather is hard to define in the fall. In the morning it may be a little chilly, so you wear a sweatshirt but by mid-afternoon you are sweaty and regretting the whole outfit. The easiest way to be sure that you will be comfortable throughout the day is to dress in layers! This fall, the trendiest way to layer your outfits is a flannel! Flannels will keep you warm while still looking cute! Bulky jackets may keep you warm but they aren’t always the easiest to style with your favorite top. The best part about a flannel is that they contain multiple colors, so you don’t have to worry about clashing colors! Pair with your favorite T-shirt or turtleneck and you are set to take on all of your day's activities! 

THRIFTING/VINTAGE

With fall right around the corner, you may not have it in your budget to completely change your wardrobe. A super easy way to change up your wardrobe without breaking the bank is going to your local thrift store! My favorite part of thrifting is being able to find pieces that you know no one else will be wearing this fall. You will need to set apart a good chunk of time to be able to look through the racks. Walking into a Goodwill, Thrift World, or local thrift store can be intimidating because of the endless racks you see when you walk in the doors. Don’t be discouraged! There are a few sections I am immediately drawn to, womens blazers, mens tees, coats, and pants. Take the store in chunks instead of trying to tackle it all! Pick what you are drawn to and carefully look through each rack of the section. In order to find the goodies, picking through every item in a section may seem tedious but will be super rewarding when you find that perfect piece. If you aren’t down to go out and sort through endless options, you can thrift online! Stores like Depop, ThredUp, or Urban Renewal bring the thrifting experience right to your couch! Thrifting is most fun when done with friends, so go grab coffee and go thrifting with your gal pals! 

SNEAKERS

Nike. Adidas. Yeezy. Fila. Puma. These brands may be what you turn to when looking for the perfect gym shoe but I would challenge you to venture into the trendy sneakers next time you find yourself looking for a new shoe! Sneakers are perfect for all of your fall adventures to the pumpkin patch, apple picking, or just a quick trip to Target to grab your last minute fall decor. Some sneakers like Nike Dunks or Yeezy’s may make your wallet hurt but you will get tons of compliments from the YTH...so I will let you weigh the pros and cons of that. There are some affordable versions from retailers like ASOS, or Reebok. Go ahead, dust off the old white converse from the back of your closet, sneakers always look great whether they are brand new or worn. Sneakers are also super comfortable and won’t make you wish you picked a different shoe at the end of the day.

BAGGY JEANS

This one has to be my all time favorite. I recently switched to high waist baggy jeans this summer and let me tell you, I have never been more ready to take on the world! Baggy jeans with a tucked in tee and a simple blazer is my absolute favorite choice for fall. Throw on a belt to cinch in your waist and you are ready to go girl! Brands to shop the look at would be Hollister, Urban Outfitters, ASOS, or Target! Throw out those uncomfortable skinny jeans and opt for the comfier option, baggy jeans are SO COMFORTABLE, from sitting to walking, there is no discomfort doing anything in a pair of baggy jeans. There are so many ways to style, even with a pair of block heels, you can elevate the simple denim look.
