’Tis the season for chunky sweaters, blanket scarves, booties and all things cozy. And while we’ve definitely fallen into the habit of wearing leggings and sweaters every day in years past, that no longer feels quite so novel after sporting nothing but sweatsuits and sweatshorts for the past few years. So, we rounded up 30 autumnal outfits ideas for November that will spice up your look better than a pumpkin latte.

THE 4 RULES OF DRESSING FOR A RAINY DAY, ACCORDING TO WOMEN WHO LIVE IN SOME OF THE RAINIEST PLACES IN THE U.S.

1. Toss a Blazer Over a Maxi

Yes, you absolutely can continue to wear your beloved summer maxi dress through the month of November, under two conditions: One, it should feature a darker or moodier print. And two, you should pair it with obvious cold-weather staples like a structured blazer and ankle boots.

2. Swap Your Bag Strap for a Silky Scarf

Unclip the leather or canvas strap your handbag came with and instead weave a long silky scarf through the loops for a interesting twist. Even if you simply leave them hanging loose and carry your bag as a clutch, the draped fabric will add a welcome pop to your ensemble.

Shop similar styles: Staud Bean Bag ($195); Michael Kors Silk Bandana ($42); ASOS Design Longline Trench Coat ($79; $44); Everlane The Cloud Turtleneck Sweater ($165); J.Crew Cameron Pants ($98)

3. Keep On Rocking Barbie-Approved Pink

Barbiecore was one of the biggest trends of the summer, and we don’t see it slowing down all that much even as temperatures continue to drop. Have some fun mixing and matching different shades of pink in more cold weather-ready pieces to transition this summer trend into fall.

Shop similar styles: H&M Cotton T-shirt ($6); Susana Monaco Slit Midi Skirt ($138); Boden Snaffle Detail Leather Loafers ($180)

4. Brighten Your Day With a Pop Of Yellow

Take a cue from the changing leaves and add a flash of marigold yellow via a sweater, jacket or handbag.

5. Or Try Shades of Calming Blue

If you’re more in need of a chill meditation sesh than a bright pop of cheer, try mixing and matching shades of cornflower, robin’s egg and ice blue.

Shop similar styles: L.L.Bean Cashmere Crewneck Sweater ($119); Open Edit Wide-Leg Trousers ($59); Bernardo Square-Toe Ballet Flats ($198)

6. Wear (Off) White After Labor Day

If you haven’t already, it’s time to toss this fashion rule out the window. Winter whites, creams and pale beige hues look gorgeous paired with darker neutral hues or even a bold pattern, like cow spots.

7. Opt for Simple Basics in Luxe Materials

A crewneck sweater and flared pants doesn’t seem all that novel a pairing, but if you upgrade to a cashmere knit and velvet or corduroy trousers it suddenly looks much more luxe. This is doubly true if you opt for interesting hues like cherry red or chocolate brown over basic black, white or gray.

8. Try a Bold New Color Combo

Don’t fall into the trap of wearing only dark or neutral hues this fall. Instead, try a mix of gem tones and vibrant brights, like the cherry red, hot pink and dark teal above. Stick to solid hues and keep accessories minimal to really allow your outfit to shine.

9. Switch Up Your Denim-on-Denim Look

There’s nothing wrong with sporting a classic chambray button-up shirt and jeans, but we kind of love this new twist on the Canadian tuxedo—layering a denim blouse under a denim vest. It gives the whole look a more feminine flare, especially if you add some cute ballet flats.

Shop similar styles: Citizens of Humanity Iris Chambray Blouse ($278); The Great Denim Quilted Vest ($425); Everlane The Way-High Jeans ($98); Cuyana Top Handle Crossbody Bag ($248); Lauren Ralph Lauren Jayna Flats ($115)

10. Swap Your Sweatsuit for a Knit Set

The appeal of wearing nothing but sweats all day may have worn off, but our addiction to comfort most certainly has not. The solution? Try a knit skirt and cardigan in place of baggy pants and a crewneck pullover. Even better if you opt for one in a bold color or pattern.

Shop similar styles: Bleusalt Oversize Cardigan ($195) and A-Line Skirt ($132); Munro Geena Loafers ($210)

11. Rethink Patent Leather Pants

If the thought of wearing leather pants has you immediately dreading a Ross Geller-esque disaster situation, look for a pair in a looser, more trouser-like cut. Rich seasonal shades like burgundy or forest green can also help this rockstar fabric feel more accessible.

Shop similar styles: Halston Capri Wrap Blouse ($395; $165); Madewell Faux-Leather Pants ($138); INC International Concept Floriann Boots ($100)

12. Try a New Layering Technique

First you’re cold, then you’re hot, then you’re making bad jokes about Katy Perry songs. Instead of choosing between wearing too much or too little, try adding an extra layer in an unexpected way—drape a sweater over your shoulders and let the sleeves hang down like a scarf. Now if you get chilly you can just slip it on under your blazer.

Shop similar styles: Brooklinen Classon Sweatshirt ($80); J.Crew Willa Blazer ($348); Quince Mongolian Cashmere Sweater ($50); Agolde Pinch Waist Jeans ($188); Coach Haley Loafers ($139)

13. Mix and Match Shades Of Brown

Brown can sometimes get a bad rap as a “boring” color. But if you mix together latte beige with deep chocolate and soft caramel, suddenly you’ve got a gorgeous ensemble that looks incredibly luxe (and also sounds delicious). Even better if you choose expensive-looking materials like faux-leather, cashmere and silk.

Shop similar styles: J.Crew Rollneck Sweater ($90); Alex Mill Betty Turtleneck Sweater ($165); Bagatelle Faux-Leather Blazer ($99); Good American Good Icon Faux-Leather Pants ($175); Sam Edelman Hazel Heels ($140)

14. Go West for Inspiration

No need to invest in a whole new pair of cowboy boots just to get in on the Western trend. Simply layer a chambray shirt over high-waist jeans, cinch a wide-buckle belt around your waist and pull on your favorite tall black boots to finish.

Shop similar styles: Old Navy Ruffle-Neck Jean Shirt ($45); B-Low the Belt Belt ($132); Abercrombie & Fitch High-Rise Skinny Jeans ($89); Franco Sarto Katherine Knee High Boots ($170)

15. Rock a Graphic Knit the Grown-Up Way

Much like graphic tees, cutesy graphic sweaters are tough to make look mature. But choosing a funky fair isle print is a great way to have some fun without looking too juvenile. Layer one over a button-up shirt and some tailored trousers to complete your cute and chic ensemble.

Shop similar styles: Lulus Bomber Jacket ($64); Ganni Multicolor Graphic Cardigan Sweater ($345); Citizens of Humanity Brinkley Button-Up Shirt ($228; $137); Eileen Fisher Wide-Leg Pants ($168; $99); Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Sneakers ($60)

16. Combine Cozy and Sexy in a Sweater Dress

Sweater dresses are perhaps our favorite cold-weather staple for days when we want to look polished—maybe a little sexy—and yet still want to prioritize comfort. Fitted styles that hug your curves without clinging to your silhouette are best (rather than oversize sweatshirts) and look particularly fabulous paired with some pointy-toe, knee-high boots.

Shop similar styles: Eloquii Belted Sweater Dress ($100); Alilove Dumpling Bag ($30); Franco Sarto Katherine Knee-High Boots ($170)

17. Pair a Ladylike Jacket with Distressed Denim

Proof that opposites really do attract—instead of feeling random, layering a cropped tweed jacket over loose, distressed denim gives off “French woman living in L.A.” vibes, in all the best ways. Finish with some ballet flats and a ladylike bag to really amp up the Parisian styling.

Shop similar styles: Veronica Beard Lars Jacket ($848); American Eagle Baggy Wide-Leg Jeans ($60); Margeaux Demi Ballet Flats ($198)

18. Wear Fleece the Fashion Way

Yes, fleece is excellent for keeping you warm while camping, but when worn with cropped trousers, an animal print heel and cat-eye sunglasses, it becomes on-trend outerwear for a fashion editor-approved ensemble.

Shop similar styles: Z Supply Reversible Fleece Jacket ($139); Agolde Recycled Leather Pants ($348); Nine West Workin Heels ($95)

19. Bring Back the Oversize Tote

Micro mini bags are officially out and Mary Poppins totes are back in for fall 2022. Use unexpected colors, like baby pink, to make this comeback style feel fresh and modern.

Shop similar styles: ASOS Curve Longline Trench Coat ($93); Eloquii Tie-Neck Blouse ($80); Athleta Brooklyn Ankle Pants ($99); Telfar Medium Shopping Bag ($299)

20. Pair an Oversize Cardigan With Wide Leg Jeans

Down to test out *all* the volume in one outfit? The trick to avoiding looking like a shapeless bag is to choose a thinner knit and cropped denim. The result is both comfy and chic, our favorite combination.

Shop similar styles: Alex Mill Emma Cardigan ($165); L.L.Bean Layering Turtleneck ($27); We The Free Westward Barrel Jeans ($78); Staud Kaia Bag ($250); Anne Klein Reacher Boots ($119)

21. Give Your Shacket a Sleek Twist

How does one make woodsy outerwear and basic denim look polished? Just add some chic knee-high boots (preferably with a pointed toe and thin heel) and a posh top-handle bag and voilà! Now this is how city gals do cabincore.

Shop similar styles: Wilfred Free Ganna Shacket ($228); Zella Live In Leggings ($59); Brahmin Heather Leather Shoulder Bag ($365); Schutz Maryana Tall Boots ($238)

22. Upgrade Your Rain Boots

Time to swap those basic black Wellies for a more stylish design. This year in particular there are a ton of super cute, waterproof boots that won’t look nearly as out of place as yellow, knee-high rain boots should the sun decide to come out in the afternoon.

Shop similar styles: Loewe Asymmetical Sweater ($990); Bardot Faux-Leather Pants ($109); Kate Spade New York Weston Leather Bag ($139); Circus by Sam Edelman Eddie Chelsea Boots ($65)

23. Wear 2022’s Version of Tie-Dye

Remember in summer of 2022 when we wore basically nothing but tie-dyed sweatsuits seven days a week? It unsurprisingly led to some serious tie-dye fatigue in 2021. But now we feel ready to embrace the hippie print once again, albeit with a 2022 twist—patterns that incorporate just two shades of the same color have a more modern feel than the rainbow swirls of the early pandemic. And they’re much easier to pair with other posh monochrome basics.

Shop similar styles: Commense Breeze Coat ($78); Rag & Bone Maxine Stripe Button-Up ($195); Dries van Noten Wide-Leg Quilted Pants ($1,175); Lucky Brand Darleena Sneakers ($79)

24. Get Cozy for Thanksgiving Dinner

Introducing the most stylish way to hide your post-turkey bloat. Layer an oversize knit atop a flowy midi skirt (and don’t forget the minimalist heels) for a look that’s both comfy and cool.

Shop similar styles: Altuzarra Nanna Fringed Sweater ($895); Ann Taylor Belted Pleated Skirt ($129); Poppy Lissiman Pippen Bag ($160); Mix No. 6 Aliciana Sandals ($50)

25. Pair Trendy Hiking Boots With Cozy Classics

How do you make outdoorsy footwear look city chic? Try a pair in a lighter hue, like cream or white, to shake things up. Then top them off with some straight-leg trousers and a cashmere knit that’s loose but not too slouchy.

Shop similar styles: EvolveTogether Face Mask ($15 for set of five); Lulus Harriet Long Wool Coat ($79); Alex Mill Cashmere Alice Sweater ($285); Lands’ End Cropped Chino Pants (from $22); Billabong Wander Out Canvas Boots ($90)

26. Add Some Bright Spots to a All-Black Ensemble

We love a good NYC-style all-black ensemble, but adding just one or two smaller pops of vibrant color can do a lot to jazz things up.

Shop similar styles: Marcella Elizbaeth Coat ($295); Abercrombie & Fitch Faux-Leather Pants ($110; $77); H&M Oversize Sweatshirt ($21); Ego Chain Strap Bag ($40); Anthropologie Leather Gloves ($128); Franco Sarto Amina Slingback Heels ($80)

27. Wear Two Jackets at Once

For chilly days when a denim topper or trench just won’t cut it, try wearing two lighter jackets on top of each other for an easy, layered look.

Shop similar styles: Ba&sh Fauve Trench Coat ($595; $178); Levi’s ‘90s Trucker Jacket ($98); Treasure & Bond Rib Long-Sleeve Shirt ($29); Citizens of Humanity Olivia High Rise Slim Jeans ($198); Reformation Aliah Tubular Sandals ($228)

28. Try a Statement Coat

A bold statement piece, like this patterned faux-fur, can give a major style boost to even the most basic ensemble.

Shop similar styles: Jakke Traci Faux-Fur Coat ($306); Show Me Your Mumu Miss Tiffy Faux-Fur Jacket ($278); Daisy Street Checkerboard Faux-Fur Coat ($104)

29. Sport a Parisian Beret

We’ll admit, Emily in Paris has its flaws, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still draw some sartorial inspiration from Lily Collins’ over-the-top ensembles.

Shop similar styles: 8 Other Reasons Beret ($36); Free People Ottoman Turtleneck Sweater ($168); Noize Lena Belted Wrap Coat ($230; $115)

EDWARD BERTHELOT/GETTY IMAGES

30. Swap Your Beanie for a Rancher

Even better if your new wide-brim topper comes in a vibrant hue to rival any neon cap or faux-fur pom you pass.

Shop similar styles: Brixton Jo Rancher Hat ($85; $43); Babaton The Duvet Coat ($375); Mother Hustler Ankle Fray Jeans ($238); J. Reneé Elonna Bow Mules ($90)
