9-To-5 Outfits That’ll Take You Right Into Fall

It’s official, Fall is here!

Today marks the autumnal equinox for the northern hemisphere. However, as autumn arrives and September comes to a close, weather continues to be unpredictable with often above-average warmth throughout the nation.

You’re not alone, if figuring out what to wear to work right now is a challenge.

The #1 styling trick is to be fearless when mixing seasons.

Here are some inspirational corporate, creative, and casual early-fall career looks I’ve curated from some favored fashion bloggers to help you get the job done effortlessly:

Burgundy, bordeaux, maroon, marsala, wine (whatever hue you wish to call it!) is a big fall color trend. Maria has elegantly styled her classic, burgundy blouse with a complementary, seasonless, pinstripe, faux-wrap skirt and matching classic pumps for the office. Bare legs keep her cool now. Opt for tights or dark hosiery as weather permits. (The Classified Chic)

Olive green is another popular, fun, and flattering color choice for this fall/winter. Wear as career-friendly pants, a top or a jacket and pair with nude tones just like Kristin to lighten up the look for those warmer days, while still looking ready for the season. (Fancy Things)

Felicia’s charming, fall-inspired, print skirt paired with a classic, navy blouse (both in lightweight fabrications) and accessorized with on-trend, burgundy, closed-toe, low-heel, ankle-strap sandals and a simple, matching satchel bag is an ideal work style choice right now. (Akerstroms)

It is all about suede (and nubuck) this fall season. Whether you go for suede clothing or accessories, the styling options are plentiful. Jane has chicly transformed her commuter style for fall by adding a suede moto jacket layered over her short sleeve sweater top and trendy flare denim, open-toe shoes, and an oversized tote bag complete the look for a busy day at the office. Swap the denim for trousers, as preferred. (See Anna Jane)

Update your go-to Casual Friday basics for fall by layering with a timeless, camel, commuter trench coat, plus a trendy long, pendant necklace and strappy flats just like Marissa. (Style Cusp)

Iva keenly demonstrates another way to instantly revitalize your basic work top and pants for early fall by adding a trendy sleeveless vest and animal pattern accessories. Switch the denim for trousers, the wool vest for a knit or cotton version, or the pumps for a leopard or snakeskin handbag. Note her darker nail polish too…apropos for the season! (Falling In Style)

Fall is not the same without a little leather. Mara stylishly combines her leather skirt and must-have, leather booties with a chunky, open-knit sweater. Exchange the drop waist skirt for an a-line or pencil silhouette and the clutch bag for a roomy work-friendly design, as preferred.
