There are so many reasons to be excited for fall, but putting on an autumn-toned, texture-heavy outfit is my favorite. It's a euphoric feeling for me—dramatic, I know, but my summer rotation of jean shorts and tank tops starts to feel repetitive after a while. I crave a knit sweater and a pair of corduroy pants like no other, and I'm giddy to be approaching this cooler season.
When I'm looking for classic fall outfits that are both cozy and polished (two core tenets of my shopping philosophy), Sanctuary is the place I go. While seeking out some outfit inspiration for the season ahead, I found our associate shopping director, Judith Jones, wearing three perfect outfits from the brand. They feature trending prints like jacquard and brocade alongside more classic options like Fair Isle. The looks she sent my way are sure to be in my closet for seasons to come. Discover them below.
Look #1
"I cannot resist a Fair Isle sweater in the fall, and this has got to be one of my new favorite styles. The easy zip-up silhouette makes layering easy, and the cropped, relaxed sleeves make the sweater feel fresh and modern. I've styled this particular look with Sanctuary's very versatile satin slip skirt. I love a sweater-and-satin-skirt combo—it always feels put-together and elevated yet still cozy and comfortable. I like the idea of pairing it with black pumps or kitten-heel mules while the temps are still pleasant, and when it starts to cool, I'll swap them out for knee-high boots and tights. It's the perfect cozy-chic fall look." — Judith Jones, associate shopping director
Look #2
"Jacquard, brocade, and embroidered fabrics are a huge trend this fall, and this miniskirt is the perfect way to lean into it. It instantly says 'in-the-know fashion girl,' and when styled with a simple knit tee and ballet flats, it feels easy but polished." — Jones
Look #3
"I love this easy daytime look and mark my words, I'll be wearing it everywhere this fall! The textured henley top is so easy to wear, the autumnal color is incredibly versatile, and henley silhouettes are trending this fall, so it also feels very of-the-moment. I've styled it with Sanctuary's olive-green wide-leg corduroy pants, which are hands down my favorite pants in my closet. Not only are they insanely comfortable and soft, but they also look polished and chic. I'll be wearing this look for morning drop-offs at school before I head into work, for casual and cozy fall weekends and activities, for coffee with friends—the list goes on." — Jones
