Sarah is wearing an H&M knee-length sweater with a vintage belt. Her fleece leggings and mid-calf leather boots are from Marshalls.
“I love this outfit for fall because of the deep red color and the length of the sweater. The color reminds me of the changing of the leaves.”
Waist belts give basic sweaters or dresses a classier look. Not only is this outfit perfect for work or school during this change in the seasons, but it’s cozy and affordable.

Tyquan took on the swank urban look, wearing an Aéropostale top underneath a Zara Man jacket paired with True Religion denim jeans. He finished off his outfit with a pair of Nike LeBron Sneakers. True Religion jeans are heavy-quality jeans that are best worn during chilly or cold weather.
“I choose to wear this outfit today because my sweater would keep me warm. My jacket is waterproof to protect it from the rain. My denim is coated which doesn’t allow air inside. My sneakers are a pop to the outfit for brightness. They are also waterproof.”

Chiamaka wears a simple cotton shirt, Adidas sneakers and two different types of fall jackets: a leather jacket from a Macy’s department store and a calf-length duster jacket from Forever 21.
“I chose this outfit because I love relaxed looks. Basically, I can throw it on and quickly leave or move around. You can never go wrong with basics.”

Alexis is wearing combat boots by Tory Burch, Rag & Bone denim jeans, a short-sleeved cowl neck shirt and a plaid button-down underneath a light jacket, all of which she purchased at Bloomingdales department stores.
This is a trendy, yet weather-friendly way to kick off the fall season. Tory Burch leather boots are great for keeping moisture outside and keeping warmth inside.

Stacy shows us the corporate-chic side of fashion for the fall season, wearing a wool coat by Ann Taylor, basic black leggings and a pair of basic black-and-white calf-length rain boots. This ensemble is ideal for work, a fall internship or just a day out in New York City.
