Under $100: Fall weekend outfit
Fall weekends are the perfect opportunity to try out fashion-forward outfits. A floppy fedora can make you feel as though you’ve stepped off the cover of a style magazine. A bold red lip adds instant glam. Simply looping in a scarf can sync up separates and give your outfit star power — channeling your inner Jessica Alba.
Go ahead, fill up your weekends with hayrides, leaf peeping and apple cider — and look good in those #fallfashion instagram snapshots. We’ve got the outfit planning handled.
Need a perfect formula for a weekend-appropriate fall outfit? Equal parts cozy and chic, and bonus points for being under $100.
Start with a fit-and-flare black dress:
A long-sleeve black dress can be remixed throughout your wardrobe all fall and winter long. This one has a figure-flattering flare and scoop neck.
For an edgy look, pair it with a black leather moto jacket. Go preppy with a lumberjack plaid shirt underneath and a denim jacket on top. Or, get glam with a delicate necklace and heels.
Our favorite way to wear it for fall, though? Layered with an oversized plaid scarf. XHIL Long Sleeve Black Dress, $24.99 (plus Cash Back), Target.com
Mad about plaid:
A quintessential fall outfit must-have? Plaid! The autumnal hues in this oversized plaid scarf are especially gorgeous. Loop it around your neck for an instant pop of color and pattern. Women’s Cozy Plaid Blanket Wrap Scarf, $16.99 (plus Cash Back), Target.com
Top it off:
A stylish hat adds a chic finish to any fall outfit. (Bonus: It’ll keep your head warm, too!) This felt fedora hat has an extra sweet finish with a leather strap on the side. Felt Slouch Fedora, $39 (plus Cash Back), Urbanoutfitters.com
Nail it!
Fall make-up shades can be a bit dramatic, with dark reds and plums dominating. If you’re shy when it comes to moody lipsticks and blushes — give it a go on your nails instead. We’re pointing right to this berry wine shade of polish that will make for the perfect autumn manicure. Nails Inc. Gel Effect in Wine, $15 (plus Cash Back), Sephora.com
Layer up:
One thing we adore about dressing for fall is the ability to add on layers and textures. To keep warm and pull in another layer, add on an open-front cardigan. This one is slightly fitted, hits at the hip and works just as great with dresses as it does layering with T-shirts. Open-Front Cardigan, on sale $10 (plus Cash Back), Oldnavy.com
