Failsafe Fall Fashion: 3 Outfit Formulas that Can Do No Wrong
From a wear-forever camel coat and blue jeans to a sultry slip dress and your favorite knits, we’ve rounded up three failsafe fall fashion formulas to get you through the season in a cinch:
FORMULA 1:
SLIP DRESS + SWEATER + BOOTS
Oh-so easy and endlessly stylish, a slinky slip dress and chunky oversized sweater is the perfect pairing for brunch with friends or a virtual first date via Zoom. We love the contrast of textures in this failsafe fashion formula: languid shimmering silks juxtaposed against soft and fuzzy knits for an effortlessly chic texture play. Add in a pair of slick leather boots for an extra dose of edge.

FORMULA 2:
SWEATS + BLAZER + SNEAKERS
The go-to style equation for fashion trailblazer Hailey Bieber, a sweats-blazer-sneaker uniform is the epitome of off-duty cool. We love the contrast of sharp, oversized tailoring against casual, slouchy sweatpants. Ground the outfit with sneakers for comfort and style: this is a look you’ll want to wear all day long.
