A lot of people wait for ski season to travel to Jackson Hole, Aspen, Big Sky, and Telluride, but they're seriously missing out on the beautiful fall scenery and fewer crowds that these chic mountain towns offer from September to November. Before the snow falls and the winter sport enthusiasts arrive, these Western destinations are nice and quiet—my ideal type of stress-free vacation.

Figuring out what to pack is half the fun of traveling, so I decided to look to some of my favorite influencers for outfit inspiration. From cowboy hats and suede jackets to Fair Isle cardigans and hiking pants, my list has a little something for everyone. Of course, you're free to wear whatever you want, but I do have a piece of advice: Stick with one Western-inspired piece per outfit. That way, you can dress for the mountain vibe without looking cheesy or like you're trying too hard. Scroll down to shop my suggestions.
