5 Fall Activities, 5 Perfect Outfits

by Alyssa Surrett

From the minute the clock strikes September, I begin craving the most quintessential fall outings. And I'm not talking about a trip to your local coffee shop for a pumpkin spice latte (#sobasic). We want to embrace the elements of the season that everyone loves most with dedicated fall worshipping field trips — like pumpkin or apple picking, escaping the city for a countryside bonfire, or taking a road trip dedicated to leaf peeping. While it might be a bit early for these types of activities, it’s never too soon to start planning the perfect fall outfits for all of your seasonal adventures.

To strike the right balance for any of these autumnal affairs, it’s important to pair cozy pieces like oversized sweaters or bomber jackets with the more structured items in your closet, such as skinny jeans or a slip dress. These refined combinations ensure that you're ready for an adventure, but won’t look like you just rolled out of bed. Avoid being the girl teetering through the pumpkin patch in sky-high heels, and always opt for sneakers or flat boots that truly go the distance. Here, we’ve teamed up with UGG to inspire you with five new fall outfit ideas for everything on your to-do list. Your Instagram followers will thank you.

Leaf Peeping

MOTO Black Coated Leigh Jeans, Topshop; Madewell Cotton Top, Net-A-Porter; Faux Fur Collar Bomber Jacket, Topshop; DITA Vesoul Sunglasses, Shopbop; Classic II Short in Chestnut, UGG.

The bomber jacket will continue to be the jacket silhouette to try this season. Pair it with wardrobe staples like black denim, a striped t-shirt, and go-with-everything boots.

Back-to-School Shopping

Tricolour Dress, Zara; Tippi Turtleneck Sweater, J.Crew; Metallic Detail Crossboyd Bag, Zara; Elizabeth and James Amara Earrings, Shopbop; Ivanka Trump Lynna High Heel Booties, Bloomingdales.

To pick up those freshly sharpened pencils and must-have desk accessories, layer a turtleneck under a simple slip dress. Sleek ankle booties and a pop of color are sure to bring you to the top of your class.

Countryside Bonfire

MOTO Mid Blue Rip Mom Jeans, Topshop; Camisole Top, Zara; Long Open Cardigan Sweater, J.Crew; Classic II Short in Grey, UGG; Vanessa Mooney Velvet Choker, Shopbop.

Cozy up to the fire in an oversized cardigan paired with a '90s-inspired lace camisole and choker combination. Consider this the ideal slouchy meets chic look.

Spiced Cider Sipping

Contrast Tie-Front Silk Top, J.Crew; MOTO Mullet Pelment Skirt, Topshop; Sam Edelman Calf Hair Pumps, Net-A-Porter; Mini Geometric Crossbody Bag With Tassels, Zara; Shashi Noa Ear Crawlers, Shopbop.

Embrace the return of the jean skirt and team it with a polished bow-front blouse. Finish with just a touch of leopard.

Pumpkin Picking

For a day of produce picking, dare to try a head-to-toe monochrome look. It-girl accessories like sneakers, a backpack, and a neck scarf pull the look together with an unexpected twist.

Sweater With Tie Detail, Zara; Metallic Accordion Pleat Skirt, Zara; Sophie Hulme Rucksack, Shopbop; adidas Superstar Sneaker, Nordstrom; Elizabeth and James Fingers Crossed Ring, Shopbop.
