I Just Created 7 Luxe-Looking Fall Outfits for Under $250—You're Welcome

All great fashion people have a secret outfit formula that they'll go back to over and over. For stylish women who lead incredibly busy lives, having a uniform can be a lifesaver in the morning. Just take a look at legendary figures such as Miuccia Prada with her pleated midi skirts or Fran Lebowitz, who championed men's tailoring long before it was a beloved fashion choice. Consistency is key, and nothing is better than having a formula to a look that you can replicate over and over.

Thankfully, it's easier than ever to look good on a budget. With end-of-year sales in full swing, it's the perfect time to stock up on timeless basics that, when put together, result in a chic outfit you don't even have to think twice about. Keep scrolling to discover these easy-to-replicate, affordable fall outfit ideas.

Outfit 1

I'm loving suede this season, especially when it's re-imagined in a fresh-feeling color like a merlot or an olive green. This simple outfit feels perfect for your office holiday party without trying too hard.

Outfit 2

Sue me, but I'm still loving cheetah and leopard print items for fall. The maximalist print just feels so inspired to me. I'd pair my favorite pair of cheetah jeans with basic, black pieces to keep the pants doing all the talking.

Outfit 3

If Miuccia Prada shopped at Zara and H&M, I'd imagine this is how her outfit would look. This quintessentially fall 'fit (Suede! Pencil skirts! Pointed pumps!) comes in well under budget while still looking highly expensive.

Outfit 4

Ah yes, a simple white tee, jeans, and a black jacket look for fall. This ensemble is easy and effortless enough that you can repeat it every week and still look like a cool French person who's on the go. Instead of your typical black oversize blazer, though, this leather alternative feels a bit more trend-forward.

Outfit 5

Butter yellow might be though of as a spring only color, but this outfit is here to prove you wrong. Simply tuck in the sweater with your favorite pair of jeans, accessorize with mocha brown pieces, and add matching boots for a sophisticated look without relying too much on muted, autumnal colors for the season.

Outfit 6

If you've into having a fashion person all this season, look no further. This outfit combines a few of my favorite fall trends: khaki jeans, checkered shirts, and sculptural cuff bracelets. The best part? Each of these items is under $50, making it the most affordable outfit to recreate on this list. Score!

Outfit 7

It's only right to end an outfit recommendation story with one of my favorite, easy, go-to fall outfits of all time: a gray knit, jeans, a boxy trench coat, and a sleek leather belt. There's a non-zero chance you'll see your favorite influencer wearing this exact outfit on Instagram later this week.
