Here Are Your 5 Go-To Outfits for Fall 2018
After the relentless heat of summer, it’s hard not to be excited about fall. Especially since it means finally being able to wear more than a T-shirt and chinos so thin they’re practically see-through. So to get you amped up for this gloriously cool (and gloriously stylish) season of layers, here are five outfit ideas that are guaranteed to have you looking sharp all the way until winter.
Rethink your approach to tailoring by trying a sweater that looks like a blazer, and by mixing a retro-colored mustard tee and a pair minimalist sneakers.

If you’re looking for an extremely stylish way to mix things up, especially on a chillier evening, switch out your blazer for a sleek varsity jacket. Then keep everything sharp and minimal underneath.

When the weekend rolls around, it’s all about being comfortable but still looking good. Go for a hoodie and mix it with a faded denim trucker, chinos, and a cool pair of sneakers.

Fall weather is nothing if not unpredictable, so it’s important to have something you can wear in the cold and rain, but that still looks put-together. A crisp water-repellent blouson with a tee, drawstring trousers, and weather-ready sneakers is always a solid move.
