Fall is the season for fashion; as the weather cools down, we’re able to express ourselves by layering our favorite pieces. Take a look at the best pieces for fall with this fashion lookbook.

Pendant Choker

A customizable pendant on any ribbon, the small touch that goes with any outfit. You can turn any pin into a pendant with a colorful piece of string.

“Pendants are a perfect staple for my outfit especially when I need to spice up an outfit for photos,” Juliet Kleineshay (’25) stated.

Corduroy

Whether it’s a jacket or pants, any color corduroy is the fall essential that everyone needs. Not only are they comfortable, but also versatile in an array of weather conditions.

Oversized Jean Jackets

Although we’re in Florida, layering pieces will top off any outfit during autumn. Lightweight pieces under an oversized jacket can easily pair with every look.

Gingham and Plaid

Looking like a scarecrow or cowboy/girl is THE fall look, especially for pumpkin patches, hay-riding and haunted houses.

Loafers, Cowboy Boots and Mary Janes

Your new everyday shoes to dress up any outfit. Cowboy boots are essential with any denim. Loafers are exquisite with any skirt whether it’s a mini or maxi. And finally, mary janes go perfectly with maxi dresses and corduroy pants.

Maxi Skirts

Maxi skirts are a universal piece that can be styled in various ways. They go perfect with chunky sweaters, baby doll tops and even tank tops!

Watches

It’s about time to purchase a watch, the stylish choice for this autumn. A watch is the perfect middle ground of telling the time and looking put together.

Bows

It’s a Sofia Coppola-inspired season and we’re adding bows to everything. Whether it’s your hair, boots, skirt, pants, shirt or neck, bows are the superb dainty touch.

“I love adding bows to anything. They can come in so many colors that are perfect to add to simplistic outfits,” Nevada Steele (’24) said.

Cabled sweaters

Our inspiration this season is Gilmore Girls, any chunky sweater over a pair of flared jeans is the effortless fall fit. They’re easy to come by and affordable at any thrift store.

Color palate: burgundy, navy blue, cream, greens, purple and brown.

Many of these pieces are easy to come by. Some of my favorite spots include Wendy’s Closet, Sunshine Thrift Store, Goodwill and antique stores around the Tampa Bay area for jewelry. Being fashionable does not necessarily have to be expensive.
