Fall is officially on its way, and for weeks, I have not been ready, excited, or happy about it. A summer in Brooklyn is just an unforgettable experience. However, fall fashion is starting to be my favorite despite the chilly, gray, and often rainy days to expect from the seasonal shift. This is largely due to the outfit inspiration I’ve gained in the past month. I'm usually scrolling through apps like Instagram and Pinterest for outfit inspiration, but this season, I’ve gone to the source of it all: the runway.
Every fashion week, I’ll add runway outfits to my mood boards to set the tone of the season for my style. Since doing so the last few months, I’ve found that the F/W 25 collections, from ACNE Studios to Ferragamo, have included designs that are surprisingly easy to re-create. If you’re in search of new, elegant fall outfit ideas, keep scrolling, and expect plaid, chic layering, and casual suiting in the looks below.
ACNE Studios: Oversize Blazer + Long Silky Scarf + Pumps
If you’re an adventurous dresser, wearing an oversize blazer as a dress is right up your alley. On chillier nights, a pair of sheer tights and a scarf like the one below is a stylish option. A slingback heel pairs with just about everything, so expect a lot of wear if you don’t have a pair already.

Ferragamo: Gray Suit + Pointed-Toe Heels
This look is corporate casual. I always admire a woman in a suit, and this look is no exception. The miniskirt detail may not be totally appropriate for everyone’s office dress code, but a night out in this outfit re-creation will get you endless compliments.

Brandon Maxwell: Cream Quarter-Zip + Striped Button-Down + Leather Skirt + Knee-High Boots
As the temperatures continue to drop, layering becomes a necessary step in getting dressed. These layers can be intentionally styled like this Brandon Maxwell look below. Items like the striped button-down or knit quarter-zip might already be in your wardrobe, but blending them together might not have been on your mind, until now. And a flowy, leather skirt with matching boots never hurts to complete an outfit.

Eckhaus Latta: Black Button-Down + Striped Skirt + Black Leather Boots
Every time I watch an Eckhaus Latta runway show, I’m instantly reminded why I should be grateful for fall weather. The brand’s looks are always outfits I know I can re-create with little effort. To make this outfit more approachable, I’m going with a cashmere sweater and breathable striped skirt.
