The finishing touch to every look? Personality.

There is no denying it: The evening air is getting chillier, so fall is most definitely on its way, meaning one thing—a change in wardrobe. Although we aren’t putting away our sundresses and leather sandals quite yet, the best fall outfits give us the opportunity to dabble in transitional dressing, while we start to shift our closets to more autumn-friendly styles. Trying to think about what to wear as summer turns into fall can make getting dressed an annual headache for some. Fortunately, we’ve gathered all the street-style inspiration you need to put together foolproof fall outfit formulas, curing any end-of-season blues.

The best fall outfits are all about versatility, while also ensuring there is no shortage of classics in the mix. Denim, crisp shirting, and khaki trench coats, effortlessly paired with foundational trouser pants and maxi skirts, demonstrate how sometimes the best looks are the least complicated. However, there is plenty of opportunity to play with color, too. Espresso brown and cherry red are still going strong in our books, while trendier silhouettes—like summer’s pants hit, the capri—are proving they having staying power, especially when styled with the perennial favorite Mary Jane shoe.

Ahead, shop our edit of the 20 best fall outfits, inspired by street style, from timeless white T-shirts and trouser looks to versatile takes on leather trench coats and knitwear sets. Consider your fall wardrobe covered.

Transitional dressing at its finest. Go sleeveless with a knitted vest and skinny scarf to start implementing these warmer pieces into your wardrobe now, as the seasons begin changing. Swap out accessories and grab an underlayer when needed.

Simple and chic, this vest can be styled in a plethora of ways, from jeans to trouser pants, midi skirts, and more.

Think of a skinny scarf as part of your look, not meant to be taken off.

Fade to gray with a completely monochrome look that oozes sophistication. Keep it all in the knit family with a cool cardigan, long, pleated skirt, and underpinnings all with the same textural feel.

Editors flock to Khaite’s luxury knitwear each season, and this cropped version is no exception.

A long pleated skirt balances out the sweater’s cropped proportions for a polished take.

Keep things classic with crisp, cotton shirting that can really go the distance. We love a playful mashup of stripes on blue, as a fresh alternative to your classic whites. With fluid trousers, this one is the easiest to pull off.

A little volume in the sleeve and the contrast stripe pattern keeps this shirt far from boring territory.

An everyday trouser can be styled with everything from shirting and blazers to knitwear and more.

Every closet needs a good khaki trench coat. Sophia Roe proves that a voluminous single-button style looks oh-so chic, even over the simplest T-shirt and trousers, while saving you from autumnal showers along the way.

Don’t be surprised at how often you reach for this cotton style. It is extremely versatile.

These trousers are a mainstay in Aritzia’s permanent offerings. They are lightweight, seasonless, and the fit is just right.

Capris are definitely here to stay, and this outfit shows how to take them into fall. Simply add a blazer or cardigan over a silky top, add a luxurious ballet flat, and voilà! Summer’s big hit turns into an autumnal staple.

Donni’s version are made from the softest rib material, and it truly holds its shape.

You can’t go wrong with a flat from the Row. The leather quality is truly unmatched.

From Bella Hadid to Emily Ratajkowski, It girls can’t get enough of the vibrant shade and neither can we. For fall, we recommend a textured knit and structured miniskirt to get things going. Add tights and a closed-toe shoe when those first chills hit.

A perfect cashmere crewneck? What more can you ask for.

Prada’s leather mini is sure to add some shine and texture to any look.

Here’s a fresh way to style that denim barn jacket you have been seeing everywhere. When worn atop white underpinnings, such as a crisp button-up (bonus points for an elongated collar!) and trouser pants, the jacket staple goes from country weekend to city-street-ready.

J.Crew’s all-over-denim take on the barn jacket feels modern and fresh.
