Living in Connecticut means that fall is inevitable, and as someone who dreads the cold weather, I understand the struggle of finding fashionable outfits for the low temperatures. Fall is now in full swing, and it’s time to embrace the changing leaves and cooler temperatures while trying to keep you summer style alive. If you’re like me and can’t stand the cold weather, don’t worry – I’ve got you covered. Here are 5 fall fashion trends that I think can help keep Summer alive while also keeping you warm all season long!

Boho Maxi Dresses

Escape the chill in the air and channel those vacation vibes with a boho maxi dress. Not only will it keep you warm when paired with a denim jacket or cardigan, but it also adds a touch of elegance to your fall wardrobe. Opt for warm earthy tones, jewel and floral prints, and flowy silhouettes to effortlessly transition from summer to fall. Complete the look with ankle boots or chunky heels for a trendy and comfortable outfit option.

Cozy Cardigan Or Button Up

Stay warm and stylish with a cozy sweater – the ultimate fall staple. These versatile pieces not only provide warmth but also add a pop of brightness to any outfit. Whether you pair it with jeans, skirts, or cute dresses, a cardigan is a must-have for layering in the fall. Choose from a variety of patterns and styles, such as cable knits or oversized ones, to find the perfect one that reflects your personal style.

Overalls and Jumpsuits

When it comes to chilly weather, overalls and jumpsuits are your go-to options. Layer them with a turtleneck or cozy sweater for added warmth and style. The best part? These pieces can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. From comfy cotton fabrics to denim or silk-like fabrics, there’s a wide variety to choose from that will help you achieve a chic and cozy look this fall.

Shirt + Jacket = Shacket!

Shackets, or shirt jackets, are a fall staple. Not as heavy as a jacket but thicker than a regular shirt, shackets are perfect for effortless layering. I feel like I wear one everyday when the weather gets cold! Dress them up or down depending on the occasion. Pair them with a graphic tee, leggings, and ankle booties (like these cute Uggs) for a casual look. The possibilities are endless with this versatile piece. It’s just the perfect way to layer without bulking up an outfit!

Light Wash Denim All Day

Light wash denim is here to stay, so why not make it your go-to trend this fall? Dress it up or down for any occasion – the possibilities are endless. Pair your light wash denim with ankle boots and a chunky knit sweater for a cozy daytime look, or glam it up with heels and statement jewelry for a night out. This timeless trend never goes out of style and perfectly complements the autumn season.

Fall fashion doesn’t have to mean sacrificing your style for warmth – there are plenty of fashionable winter looks that still feel like summer!
