OK, ladies, it's time to transition from summer sundresses to fall layers—and as any cool girl knows, there is a way to make sweaters, jackets and pants work for you.
The key to epic fall style staples: warmer fabrics, neutral-leaning color palettes and ultra-flattering silhouettes. Listen, if you're going to wear a blazer, long-sleeve dress or something else along those lines, choosing one that's tailored is key. We love a cozy look as much as you do, you just have to be strategic so your festive fall outfit looks as good as it feels.
