Fall accessories to pair with your outfits (and your PSL)

As temperatures get cooler and leaves turn into gorgeous jewel tones, fall is a wonderful time to bring out the fun layers. I personally love this season for many reasons — from the pumpkin spice lattes to the fall foliage to Halloween, there’s a lot to look forward to.

Aside from the warm coffee drinks, adding scarves and boots to my wardrobe during this time of year lets me be cozy and fashionable. Here are my top five fall accessory tips that are a classic way to spice up your outfits with minimal effort:

If you are looking to make a bold statement with your outfit in the fall, an easy way to do that is to accessorize with a coat or jacket. One thing I love about adding layers is that you can also play with texture. In order to stay warm and look cute, experiment with fleece, cashmere, denim or flannel.

I also enjoy integrating a pop of color in my outfits, and warm tones are perfect for the fall. Colors like wine, army green, mustard, cognac and cream all look beautiful against the contrast of fall leaves. Highlighting a bold color and accessorizing with neutral tones can keep your fall outfit from looking drab to fabulous.

Here I opted for this stunning wine-colored teddy coat which is both bold in color and fun in texture, making this a statement piece for my fall outfit.

I paired this with warm brown boots that compliment the coat, and I love the unique chunky, triangle heel that makes these shoes comfortable to wear for all kinds of fall activities.

Adding some neutral tones with the cream, patterned scarf really makes this outfit pop. Scarves are great because they are functionable, but also versatile, so you can style them dynamically with various fall outfits.

Another thing I enjoy wearing in the fall are oversize tops, dresses or sweaters, but those items of clothing often leave you looking shapeless. My tip for accentuating your figure is to add a belt. By cinching your waist, you can add some shape and fluidity to the outfit without sacrificing comfort. This accessory gives you a lot of freedom to mix and match metals in gold and silver tones with the warm fall colors.

Golden hues are a great way to highlight other warm colors you may wear during the fall.

As I mentioned earlier, with the beautiful fall colors, adding neutral tones like cream, light gray, beige, and soft pink into your fall outfits can balance out your look. Bringing those tones in with earrings or a bag is my last tip for completing your best fall look. Adding some texture through jewelry or a bag keeps your outfit fresh and stylish.

There are many options to play around with your fall look and these are just a few of my favorite ways to accessorize my fall outfits. A statement coat, over-the-knee boots, fleece patterned scarf, artistic earrings with a gold belt and a pearl purse are some ideas on how you can accessorize your outfits this fall.

So, give them a try and don’t forget your Pumpkin Spice Latte for full fall aesthetics!
