This is shocking for me to say, but here goes: I'm starting to see fall style inspo on my feed, and I'm not mad at it. If you know me, you know I live for summer style, so it takes something really special to make me excited for sweater weather. It begs the question: Who has inspired this sartorial switch-up? That would be none other than multi-hyphenate tastemaker Michaela Bushkin. She's a fashion director, luxury connoisseur, and styling extraordinaire. So, when the ultra-chic New Yorker did a try-on haul of LOFT's new arrivals for fall, I was basically summoned to grab my credit card. (My bank account wishes I were kidding.) From denim-on-denim looks to an upgraded jeans-and-white-tee formula, keep scrolling to shop Michaela's fashion person–approved outfits, just in time for the start of the new season.
Outfit 1: Upgraded Jeans and a White Tee
Modernize the classic jeans-and-white-tee formula with a bubble-hem tee and straight-leg jeans in the perfect vintage wash. Add a black belt with gold hardware for a cool-girl touch, and layer over a camel sweater when you feel that crisp fall breeze.
Outfit 2: Dark Top and Light-Wash Bottoms
A dark top and light-wash bottoms make for a cool contrast. Try out a classic black blouse and light-wash denim, or an espresso-striped tee and ivory wide-leg jeans.
Outfit 3: Denim-on-Denim Moment
Don't listen to the haters—denim on denim is the furthest thing from a fashion faux pas. Take a page out of Michaela's book and wear a short-sleeve denim jacket or denim blouse with bow accents. And get creative with your bottoms—she likes dark-wash denim or olive jeans.
Outfit 4: Casual Cardigan and Barrel-Leg Jeans
I'm a stan for barrel-leg jeans, and Michaela agrees. Try this casual-chic 'fit for weekends or low-key date nights. The loose-fitting jeans are comfortable, and the cardigan is cozy, but the snakeskin belt really elevates the whole look.
