There's just something about getting dressed in the fall that's better than any other season. It's a time for layers. And for comfort. It's about pulling on a few new pieces that refresh your whole wardrobe. Invest in an outfit or two and give your personal style a shot in the arm. Because not only do you have a couple of easy options for dressing, but you can also separate the pieces and repurpose them with a few favorite items you already own and love to wear. The best part is there are incredibly stylish options at every price point—from easy and affordable finds to well crafted investment pieces. Here are five solid options to inspire you to switch up your style, ever so slightly.
1
Casual and Cool, Yet Refined
Go for a tonal and textured look by pairing something like a sherpa-lined corduroy jacket with twill chinos in various shades of the same color. Round out the outfit with some luxe cashmere knits and a pair of suede shoes.

Smart, Soft Layers for Work
Work outfits can be notoriously dull and bland. Switch things up by softening your standard shirt and jacket for a lightweight turtleneck and a knit blazer. Plaid pants offer a pop of pattern without overpowering the look.

Something Comfortable for the Weekend
If you haven't gotten a pair of track pants yet, change that immediately. These look a little more polished than your standard sweatpants. And a hoodie in an unexpected color layered under a denim jacket makes it an outfit.

Ruggedly Relaxed
Just a T-shirt and some jeans with a jacket thrown over it. But when it's done with consideration and a fresh, seasonal color like burgundy, it's anything but expected. A good pair of boots won't let you down either.

The New Workwear
Familiar silhouettes like a chore coat and an oxford cloth button-down get a modern refresh in new fabrications and fits for an update that feels very much of today. It looks just as good in an easygoing office as it does in a bar after work.
