Are you already looking forward to fall? While you might love the weather and the changing of the leaves, most people who love fall love it because of the clothes. Warm sweaters, cute boots, and scarves upon scarves—what isn’t to love? So if you are gearing up for the colder weather, make sure you have the following 5 staples in your closet for fall.

 

A Great Pair of Jeans

 

While this is something you will wear year-round, you really should pick up a new pair for fall. Dark washes are more in tune with the season. While skinny jeans are great for tucking into boot, loose, boyfriend-style jeans are still quite trendy and look great with a cozy sweater. And if you find that jeans are always too long, you are in luck—cuffed jeans are very in this fall.

 

The Perfect Pair of Boots

Fall is all about flat boots, but beyond that, you can express your personality. Short booties, tall riding boots, even motorcycle boots are in this fall. To have fun, look for options that play with texture and buckles to give them visual interest.

 

A Versatile Coat

While there are plenty of options, you cannot go wrong with the classic pea coat. This is an option that looks great with everything, from office clothes to jeans and t-shirts. To get the most mileage out of yours, match it to your boots and bag of choice.

 

The Warm, Chunky Scarf

Ah, scarf weather. While I think that fall is a great excuse to wear a different scarf every day, be sure to purchase one warm, chunky scarf that you could easily wear day in and day out.

 

A Cable-Knit Sweater

Finally, time for the sweater. When picking the right one, you can’t go wrong with cable-knit. These chunky, cozy sweaters are everything fall is about. As for the color, earth tones are always great for the season.
