5 Fab Fall Essentials

Fall is here and to prepare for yet another season packed with cold weather, trick-or-treating and of course the countdown to the dreaded winter months, you’ll be needing a few extra things in your wardrobe to smile about!

The Stylish Scarf
Scarves are a must-have accessory in everyone’s wardrobe no matter the weather as they are a great way to change the look of any outfit. A colourful scarf can add pop to a daytime outfi t, while a black or white scarf is a sleek addition to an evening ensemble. For the cooler months in autumn, wool or knit scarves are perfect for keeping warm and still looking fabulous. Solid shades such as black, grey or white match wonderfully with any colour of coat. Not sure how to wear it? Fold the scarf in half, ends together, forming a loop, then carefully wrap it around your neck and pull the ends of the scarf through the loop. Scarf available at Old Navy.

The Cozy Cardigan
The cardigan is one of the best ways to look amazing and keep comfortable this fall. For colder days, you’ll want to stick with longer sleeves, but while the weather is still warm, don’t be afraid to try out a short-sleeved cardigan. Have fun with them! They have the power to polish off any outfi t with style. Not sure what colour to try? Try matching the colour with the shirt underneath. Cardigan available at Old Navy.

The Timeless Trench
The trench coat was originally designed for British soldiers to wear during WWI, but has since become one of the most popular coat styles in the world. If you want to stay in style and stay warm this fall, I definitely recommend a wool trench. Not sure what length to purchase? The longer the trench, the more formal the look will become. For school, try a midlength plaid trench. This classic style will carry you through at least a few years. Plaid trench coat from Joe Fresh Style at Superstore.

Snazzy Skinnies
The best thing about skinny jeans is their versatility – they can easily be dressed up or dressed down. Light colours are ideal for a more casual look, while darker denim is great for a nice dinner. Not sure what to finish your outfit off with? Try a striped sailor shirt with a funky necklace. Skinny ankle zipper jeans from Old Navy.

The Boot
Leather has always been a strong hold in the fashion industry, and boots are one of the many ways to keep yourself looking fabulous without freezing during the cold autumn months. Sticking with shades such as black, brown and grey keep it easy to match these amazing boots with every colour imaginable! Something to keep in mind: if you live in an area where there happens to be quite a bit of snowfall, stick to very small heels. You wouldn’t want to have an accident on account of the boots! Check out your local Aldo stores for a great selection of boots. Boots available at Aldo
