Embrace fall by layering up, slipping into a cozy coat, and stepping out in some stylish leather boots. It’s finally time to pull out those fall fashion looks. This season designers have mixed basic seasonal favorites with a few new trends to create a cozy and very approachable fall style.
The season’s major trends are furs, knits, pops of color and the return of more statement-making outerwear.
Warm Stylish Outwear
In Michigan, outerwear is more than a fashion statement, it’s a necessity. Whether it be a cashmere wrap coat or a cozy coat with plush fur, stylish outwear is essential for the cool temperatures. Stay warm and look good doing it in a faux fur jacket on a typical work day. Or add some fierceness to an evening look, with a leather, gold studded coat.

Boots
What woman doesn’t look forward to a great pair of fall boots? Weather is always a concern in Michigan therefore it’s ideal to have a go-to pair of rain and cold weather boots and at least one pair of leather fashion boots for fall. For instance you can keep it causal in a pair of Bear Paw boots during a day in the pumpkin patch or go for a sassier look with a pair of leather rover-the-knee boots for a fun evening with friends.

New Handbag
A new season is a fun and reasonable excuse to pick up a new handbag. A new handbag never goes out of style and is a great addition to any woman’s closet. Fall handbags can even inspire fresh, stylish looks. Do not be afraid to pick bold bright colored handbags. Handbags can add that lasting pop of style to complete any wardrobe.
Sweaters
Cozy up to the season by slipping into a sweater or two for the cold weather. From cardigans to over-sized knits and turtle necks, there are many sweater styles to choose from. Sweaters are so effortless to style for everyday wear. Keep it comfortable, causal, or even dress it up in fashionable way for fall. Everyone has closet full of sweaters but it’s always good to ditch a few outdated ones and purchase some new sweaters to add to the mix every year. Purchasing a few sweaters each year is a good way to stay current and add options to the closet.
When shopping for these fall items, there are several places to shop locally to create fashionable looks for the season. Coqueta in Birmingham, Pink Pump in Bloomfield Hills, and Ceresnie & Offen Furs in Birmingham are a few go-to places to shop for these items.
Remember, this fall is about keeping it comfortable, stylish, and warm in layers so keep these items in mind for this fall to prep fashionable and fuss free looks.
