Fall is quickly approaching, and the promise of cozy dressing is too good to ignore. And as a former Southern California native turned New York transplant, I'd be remiss to skip my chance at seasonal styling.

Typically, my autumn lineup consists of chunky knit sweaters, color-blocked scarfs, and sleek leather boots, fit for cameos in You've Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally. They're key closet separates, defining fall fashion year after year. However, I'm looking to spice up my collection, integrating fresh styles and unexpected combinations (think barn jackets alongside ballerina sneakers).

For inspiration, I turned to the It girls of Instagram, studying their outfit formulas like it's my job—because it is. Gingham capris, vintage-inspired handbags, bold fringe, and lace-adorned culottes all bubbled to the surface, creating an aspirational moodboard of fall must-haves.

But one element runs throughout every outfit: comfort. Whether it's a midi skirt and cozy turtleneck or slipper-like clogs and billowy bottoms, each look puts practically front and center, seamlessly transitioning from a cafe date to an elevated dinner.

Ahead, discover the fall influencer outfit ideas I'm eyeing for 2026—including editor tips for mastering each look. But don't forget to complete your ensembles with autumn's favorite accessory: a pumpkin spice latte.
