Fabulous Fall Fashion for Under $50

By: Kaylin Meyer

As the early fall days set in, it’s time to transition our closets into some delightful, weather-appropriate attire. I don’t know about you, but personally, I think fall fashion is the best fashion there is. And I’m hoping you’re equally excited about the upcoming season and ready to escape from those muggy summer days. We’re totally cool with a fashion change-up!

To save you a little trouble, we’ve assembled an exceptionally budget-friendly fall fashion 2015 trend report for this year’s must-have looks under $50! So, here are some of the essential in-style and on budget pieces you need for the casually cool days ahead:

Oversized Awesomeness

An oversized sweater is the perfect way to make a subtle fashion statement. It’s such a cozy yet completely functional piece. Not only can an oversized sweater be worn one million different ways, but when you throw on a chunky cardigan such as this Flora Pocket Cape Cardigan ($35), available at Boohoo (4.6%/10.6% Cashback) and pair it with some knee high boots, I promise you, you’ll stand out in a fashionably effortless kind of way.

Whether you decide to go with a chunky cable knit sweater, oversized pullover, or boyfriend cardigan – don’t forget it’s all about comfort just as much as it is about finding a classic timeless piece that will keep you looking oh so casually cool until the end of time.  

 

Trenchcoats and Duster Jackets

You may have already noticed, but lightweight jackets and trenchcoats of the like are a massive trend this season. Some women like theirs to have wide lapels, statement buttons, waist belts, or perhaps vary in midi to floor length styles. The design styles offered in the fashion world are essentially endless. But don’t stress over which type to buy because let’s face it, it’s not about what the Kardashians, T-Swift or any other celebrity is wearing, but more about how well YOU wear it. So go ahead and get the duster jacket or trenchcoat in a style and color that you are drawn to the most. Then, confidently own whatever rendition that may be and I can assure you, you’ll be turning heads in no time! Try the Katie Shawl Collar Belted Duster* ($30), available at Boohoo (4.6%/10.6% Cashback).

*Stylist tip – Turn your jacket up a notch by wrapping a chic belt around any basic trench or duster! The ground you walk is your runway, so ya might as well treat your everyday world as if it is your very own fashion show!

Check Out That Bootie

Black ankle boots, or ankle booties in general, are absolutely a fashion MUST do (obviously). Since the fall season is quickly approaching, I would suggest finding a masterly finesse closed toe bootie of the sorts. Try the Fabbrica Morichetti Ankle Boot ($49), available at Yoox (1.9%/7.9% Cashback).

Artfully Classy, Every Time.

I swear every time I see a lady in the street with a hat on, I think to myself, “Wow, that girl looks so stinking cute!! She’s so effortlessly put together. Hmpf, I wish I had a hat on.” Whether you have the same outfit-envy feelings after crossing paths with a hat lady*, wearing the all-time classic wool felt fedora hat is IN and it’s making heads turn all over the place. From boater hats, to panama hats, to the classic fedora hat – any wide brimmed felt fedora hat will do! Try the Ecote Scout Panama Hat ($39), available at Urban Outfitters (3.2%/9.2% Cashback) and comes in 4 colors!

*Stylist tip – Following any head-wear trend no matter the year or season, is always an epic way to accessorize any outfit as well as show off your voguish self.

 

Unexpectedly Exposed

Tastefully show your feminine side with some cut-out shoulder tops! A shoulder cut out top, tunic, sweater or even duster vest is absolutely alluring and 100% seasonally transitional. Oh and ladies, a little sex appeal never hurt anybody! It’s just a little shoulder after all.

From left to right: Silence + Noise Steph Cold Shoulder Top ($39), available at Urban Outfitters (3.2%/9.2% Cashback) | Macey Printed High Neck Cut Out Shoulder Blouse ($30), available at Boohoo (4.6%/10.6% Cashback) | Rosie Open Shoulder Duster ($35), available at Boohoo (4.6%/10.6% Cashback).

 

Skinny Mini

The skinny scarf is the quintessential fall accessory piece. This fashion statement piece was repeated on the Fall/Winter for 2015/2016 runway at least a bajillion times. But hey, it’s totally wearable and completely adorable. You can also wrap it around your neck a few times, tie it or let both sides hang down freely!

Not sold enough to buy one yet? Try borrowing a skinny tie from your boyfriend or husband’s closet. When you fall in love with this on-point fall fashion trend try the With Wind Skinny Scarf ($28), available at Free People (3.2%/9.2% Cashback). Oh yes, don’t forget to put the borrowed tie back into his closet!

 

Howl for a Cowl

Go ahead and start autumn off with a smile and cozy up in a blanket-like garment, yet wearable piece of awesomeness for you and your neck. If there is one fall fashion piece you must own, it’s an oversized cowl neck sweater. We’ve go our eyes on this Dreamers by Debut Cowl Neck Sweater ($44), available at Nordstrom (4%/10% Cashback).

Thinking maybe it’s a little too warm for early fall? Try rocking it with a skirt and some knee high boots – an outfit like that is called fall fashion perfection, if you ask me!  As it gets colder out, complete your look easily and stylishly by adding a pair of tights or some tall socks — or perhaps both — then, grab your trench coat and head out the door! The best part about this look is being able to get ready in less than five minutes.

When you buy simple, minimalist garments, you will spend less time getting ready, and chances are you’ll have even more fashion style swag than ever before. Now get out there and rock your fall #OOTD with these awesome styles under $50!
