7 Fall Outfit Pairings That Will Give Your Fall Wardrobe a Face-Lift

There are some combinations that work together so perfectly you couldn’t imagine one without the other—peanut butter and jelly, Amal and George, and Sundays and brunch, to name but a few. Seriously, where would we be without these perfect pairs? Sartorially speaking, fall also brings with it a handful of stylish combos that not only look insanely chic when worn together but can also be leaned on when you find yourself in a fashion pickle. Think pleated midi skirts with knee-high boots, tweed jackets with jeans, knit sweaters with leather separates—all of which will give you the trendy fall face-lift your wardrobe is craving. Scroll below to see the chic, powerful, and perhaps unexpected power couples you’ll want to try this season.

There's something so sophisticated about a pleated midi skirt worn over a pair of chic knee-high boots that simply works every time. It plays into this season's bourgeoisie trend perfectly and will unquestionably be your trusty go-to combo for work on those crisp fall mornings. 

There's no question that the fashion-forward way to wear your blazer this season is cinched at the waist with a belt—a huge trend seen all over the fall 2019 runways. The look adds instant polish to any outfit and also works perfectly with the power duo we just mentioned above.

The soft, sumptuous texture of a knit sweater pairs beautifully with the edgy attitude of luxe leather trousers, culottes, or midi skirts. Contrast the pieces by wearing a beige sweater with black or brown leather bottoms. Opt for high-waisted leather pants that have a roomier, tailored feel (as opposed to skin-tight pants) for a modern look.

If you're looking to make a sartorial statement this fall, then this color/print pairing is an absolute must. Hot pink has been the unexpected hue of the season among the fashion crowd, and it happens to couple beautifully with lighter shades of snake print (and black-and-white tiger print)—another big trend on the fall 2019 runways. Opt for a vibrant pink blouse and snake-print pants for a fall look that will induce a flow of compliments.

From chunky Chelsea boots to combat styles, thick platform rubber-soled boots are everywhere right now, exuding an edgy punk-rock feel. Combine them with loose-fit minidresses and cool plaid miniskirts.

One of our favorite classic pairings has to be the French girl–loved duo of a longline tweed jacket and slim-leg blue jeans. It's a failsafe marriage of textures that always works. Wear with chic black heels to take you from day-to-night in style.

If you're going to invest in one piece of jewelry this fall, make it a gold chain-link necklace. Every cool girl worth her salt is wearing one right now. The easiest way to style it? Over a crisp white crewneck tee—so chic.
