Well I’ll Be Layered- Fall Fashion You will Actually Wear
Around here, fall doesn’t hit like a Hallmark movie. It’s 58 degrees at sunrise and 82 by lunch. You’re freezing at preschool drop-off and sweating by your second iced coffee. That’s why this season is all about versatility—pieces that layer easily, feel elevated, and look like you planned ahead (even if you didn’t).
Here’s our roundup of what we’re reaching for this fall. Southern-style. Real-life tested. Chic without trying too hard.
Mornings Call for Light Layers
Fall 2025 is all about relaxed, slouchy layering. Think wide knits, lightweight jackets, and oversized blazers that drape just right. This isn’t the season for stiff tailoring—it’s about ease. Grab a tank or fitted tee as your base, then build around it with a cropped cardigan, utility vest, or a denim jacket in a softer wash.
What’s trending:
Oversized button-downs
Slouchy trench coats in earth tones
Relaxed knits that feel luxe but breathable
How we wear it:
Layer light in the morning, and peel off as the sun comes out. Tailgating at 10AM? Throw a structured blazer over a graphic tee and bike shorts like Princess Diana. Dinner on the patio? Drape a soft cardigan over your shoulders with a linen dress and frolick around with your charddonay.
Moody Neutrals
Clean neutrals are always in—but this fall, the palette is warming up. Think buttery beige, oat milk, sandstone, olive, espresso, and deep clay. It’s giving “quiet luxury” with a Southern drawl—soft layers, minimal branding, and fabrics that feel good.
What’s trending:
Monochrome dressing in varying tones
Linen-blend sets and structured knits
Wide-leg trousers in camel, rust, or warm grey
Sheer or semi-sheer layers for a light-but-intentional feel
Style tip:
If you’re sticking with basics, add dimension with texture. Go for ribbed, quilted, brushed cotton, or suede. That’s what makes neutral dressing feel styled instead of sleepy.
Red, Red, and more Red
It’s official—red is the color of Fall 2025, but this isn’t a holiday red. This is quiet, punchy red—think vintage cherry, brick, or deep currant. It’s going to start showing up in accessories, outerwear, leather pieces, and nail colors.
Where to add it:
A bright pop for your handbag
Suede heels or boots in a rich red tone
A bold lip for nights out
How to wear it:
Start small. A cherry-red clutch with an all-neutral outfit? Perfect. A burgundy statement earring? Love. Red doesn’t have to dominate—it just needs to show up.
These Boots are Made for Strutting
Down South, boots aren’t just for function—they’re the foundation of the outfit. This season, we’re seeing fresh takes on old favorites.
Trending styles:
Western-inspired boots in bone, sand, or light suede
Riding boots, break this trend out with an oversized men’s shirt or patent leather leggings
Lug-sole Chelsea boots that add structure to an otherwise casual look
What’s out? Sock boots and ankle boots with no personality
How to style:
Cowboy boots with a flowy dress still work. But this year, add a blazer to modernize it and avoid denim jackets over top. Try boots with wide-leg denim (instead of skinny jeans) for a current silhouette.
Accessorize Intentionally
Fall style doesn’t rely on quantity—it’s about adding the right extras. Sunglasses, headbands, scarves, and structured handbags elevate even the most casual look.
What’s trending:
Clean gold jewelry, especially mixed with leather or wood
Woven bags in dark tones (think summer texture, fall color)
Blanket scarves worn shawl-style over dresses or sets
Oversized sunglasses in warm tortoise or dark frames
One piece we love: A custom cowboy hat. Don’t be afraid of hats! Be bold with your style of these classic closet additions.
You don’t need a new closet. You need a few intentional updates—and the confidence to style them your way. Fall in the South is light layers, breathable fabrics, and boots that make a statement.
Don’t overthink it. Lean into neutrals, play with structure, and let one or two trends carry your wardrobe through the season. And remember: you can still grab your PSL even if it’s 80 degrees out.
