I have a few primary goals when putting together a perfect outfit. Of course, I want the look to be chic and cool but also easy. I’m not fond of fussy looks that are uncomfortable and feel high-maintenance. Are you on the same page? I thought so. Well, you’re going to be into what’s coming your way.
I scrolled through the Instagram feeds of some of my favorite fashion people to find fall outfit inspiration. The common thread between all of them is that they feel forward and relevant but are easy, requiring just a few pieces and great accessories.
Keep scrolling to check out the coolest fall outfit ideas to try this season.
This is one of my favorite easy fall looks featuring the very-right-now country jacket over a classic white shirt and jeans. The loafers and white socks complete the vibe.
