A Fresh Start for Fall
I don’t know what it is about autumn, but it has a stronger power over me than New Year’s for fresh starts. Perhaps it’s the upheaval of the school holidays and the frenzy of summer vacations that leave me longing for a reset. This positive feeling, however, is often accompanied by the dilemma of transitioning my wardrobe. As the chill of fall sets in, finding the perfect outfit can be a challenge: I’m tired of my summer clothes but not quite ready for winter layers.
This year, as I embark on the exciting journey of building my own blog and connecting with my audience through my articles, I wanted to share something useful and hopefully save you some hours of scrolling and pondering what goes well with what. So, I’ve curated three look books featuring effortless fall outfits. These looks are designed to help you stay stylish and comfortable as the leaves change and the temperatures drop. Plus, they are affordable, so you can refresh your wardrobe without breaking the bank.

Autumn Outfit 1: The Chic Athleisure
Athleisure has become a popular fashion trend, combining “athletic” and “leisure” to describe casual, comfortable clothing suitable for both exercise and everyday wear. Without realising it, I had already embraced this trend. In fact, I often don’t have time to change after my early morning yoga session before heading out for the school run and then work. However, with numerous online meetings, I want to look a bit more polished.
This outfit combines a loose-fit, lightweight front zip sweater/jacket with a funnel neck, offering a more sophisticated look than a hoodie and perfect for keeping the evening chill at bay. Paired with the comfiest biker shorts featuring a shaped front waistband and a glute-flattering back waistband, you’ll feel both cosy and confident.
Accessorizing is the secret to elevating this look. Add chunky gold earrings and stylish hair clips for a touch of glam. And for a fun twist, swap out your handbag for a chic water bottle. This outfit looks great whether you’re working out or just running errands.
Autumn Outfit 2: The Slouchy Wide-Leg Jeans
Wide-leg jeans have made a strong comeback and remain a staple this autumn. These jeans can be dressed up or down, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Wide-leg jeans are flattering on all body types and provide a chic silhouette.
Master the art of baggy denim for a relaxed yet stylish look. Pair your wide-leg jeans with a neckerchief for a unique twist on the classic necklace and to keep those autumn drafts at bay. Don’t forget a slightly oversized knit for extra coziness. A real leather backpack in stunning emerald, featuring multiple compartments, ensures your travel essentials are perfectly organized. Complete the look with the new UGG clogs for that chic grandad vibe – they’re as comfy as slippers!
Autumn Outfit 3: The Fun Denim Mini-Dress
Denim mini dresses offer a playful yet sophisticated look. They can be easily layered and accessorized to create a variety of looks, making them perfect for transitioning into fall. Pair it with a long-draped cardigan for those cooler days. Complete the look with stylish platform sneakers (designer-inspired dupes!) and a slouchy leather bag for that effortlessly cool vibe. Ah, and don’t forget those chunky gold earrings to add a touch of glam!
