With the crisp autumn temps settling in and winter just around the corner, it’s time to revamp your wardrobe for the colder months. One thing that I’ll never do as a lifelong fashion lover is let the temperature stop me from staying trendy! To help you stay on-trend and fashion-forward (as always, while staying affordable), I’ve curated a Fall & Winter Fashion Guide featuring ten essential pieces that are not only stylish but also perfect for the season. From cargo pants to leather loafers, these items will keep you looking fabulous no matter how low the temperatures drop!
Check out my Instagram Reel series, 10 Days of Fall Outfits, and my favorite picks from each! Be sure to click on each outfit image below to see it in action, and follow me on Instagram for more!
Cargo Pants
This trend is here to stay and I couldn’t be happier about it! While these cargos are comfy and warm (the material is SO comfortable), they’re also super stylish! Pair them with Uggs or sneakers for a laidback fit, & heels or boots for an elevated look!
Carhartt Jacket
Or, a vintage jacket from your Dad’s closet…even better than Carhartt! These iconic jackets have been around forever, but some affordable dupes have made their way to women’s fashion this year. They’re super warm, durable and trendy paired with almost anything!
Faux Leather Loafers
By far my favorite purchase of the season! I’ve been wearing these Steve Madden faux leather black loafers nonstop with these lettuce trim socks! They’re super comfortable (I walk around the city in these all day, and they only took a day to break in) and elevate any look!
Flannel
Flannels have stayed on trend season-after-season, and I’m been loving how versatile they are, too! Tied around your waist or shoulders, layering on some flannel will add a cozy touch of Fall to any fit! This one has a removable hood and is SO warm & cozy!
Plaid Skirt
Another one of my absolute favorite purchases of the season, this pleated plaid skirt screams ‘Gossip Girl’ and I can’t get enough of the trend. Pair this skirt with loafers and a sweater tied around your shoulders for a preppy, elevated look!
**This skirt runs small, so be sure to size up!
Puffer Vest
Another trend that’s back this year, and not going anywhere anytime soon! I love this cropped puffer vest from Amazon– it adds a little warmth to an outfit and this color goes with everything!!
Platform Ugg Boots
Well, they’re not actually Uggs, but they’re just as comfy and warm (and MUCH more comfortable than the real thing, with memory foam soles)!! These Cushionaire platform booties are my absolute favorite Winter shoes, and they go with every outfit! Get these quick because they sell out every Winter!
Cargo Maxi Skirt
I discovered the brand Commense this season, and I’m beyond obsessed! I’ve gotten so many compliments on this cargo style maxi skirt, and the beige color works for every season! Get 15% off your Commense order with code KARIENYC_15 🙂
Knit Vest
The knit vest over a button down shirt trend is SO cute, but I was a little nervous that I wouldn’t be able to pull it off. When I found this vest at Goodwill, I knew it was a sign to try it out and I’m so glad I did– I got so many compliments on this trendy work outfit.
Silk Maxi Skirt
One of my girlfriends recently asked me to help her level up her Fall & Winter wardrobe for the office, and a silk maxi skirt was my very first suggestion! They look good on any body type, and can be easily dressed up or down!
