I think I want all of these.

Since we can officially say that autumn is here I have been ruminating over some nice autumn appropriate outfits.

In particular, here are some of my autumn must haves. These are items that will serve you well not just this year but years to come. Some of them are based on current trends and some will always be in style.

1. Boots are a must for fall. Although these wouldn’t work in an office setting they are great for an autumn stroll that includes puddles or mud.

2. An oversize sweater is a must, especially for situations involving some tea and a good book.

3. A pair of great tights is a necessity. I personally love Spanx, not so much for the slimming effect (although I’ll take it) but more for the quality of the tights.

4. Leggings for autumn have been discussed at length and I think we can all agree that they are a staple. Pair with an oversize sweater and some boots and you have a chic effortless look.

5. Bib necklaces are going to be everywhere this autumn and a classic one like this will be relevant in years to come. Just make sure to keep the rest of the accessories simple.

6. Good news! Headbands are still in. One in a deep plum like this one would spice up any LBD.

7. Military inspired touches are also quite popular and there is no better way to channel it than with a fitted jacket like this one. All you need is a crisp white tee, jeans, and boots and you are good to go!
