I don't know exactly what it is, but there is something so sartorially exciting about the arrival of fall. Maybe it's the striking difference in weather that makes the transition so inviting. There's nothing more invigorating to me than moving on from the barely there looks of summer to all the cozier pieces that come in autumn with richer hues and interesting textures.
In preparation for the new season, I scoured all the profiles of my favorite fashion follows on Instagram for fresh outfit inspiration. With guidance from the best of the best in the industry, it's easy to transform an otherwise lackluster wardrobe into one a fashion person would be proud of. Many outfit ideas caught my eye, spanning casual everyday looks to party-ready ensembles. The sweaters and outerwear alone are worth checking out.
