Monochrome Set + Trench Layer + Pointed Pumps
I‘m obsessed with this soft, chic monochrome co-ord, which hits the sweet spot between dressed up and jauntil layed back.
The light trench hanging over the arm hits that fall-ready polish as the nights cool off without making you to hot for the season. would wear this with gold jewelry and a simple mini bag to achieve the clean girl aesthetic.
If you‘re heading out to walk around or explore after dinner, you could always substitute the heels for ankle boots.
Mini Skirt + Knit Sweater + Knee Socks
A dose of playful academia meets cozy chic, and I can‘t help but love putting flirty little skirts with cozy textures like chunky knits (especially in the fall).
Added vintage prep-school touch of the knee socks and headband, and this would be perfect for a cute dinner spot or a date night at a bookstore cafe.
I think I‘d add the structured mini bag and keep makeup soft (rosy cheeks) and bump this into the chilly environment with a trench coat or oversize coat you will still look totally put together.
Leather Jacket + Crop Sweater + Denim Mini
This combo is so fall classic with a little twist. Pairing a deep maroon leather jacket with a light cream colored crop sweater is a perfect way to be cozy while showing a little skin.
Pair with sleezy boots to keep your legs warm and classy on cool fall nights. We suggest to bring a pair of sheer tights with you just in case it gets chilly!
Floral Maxi + Western Boots + Pearl Purse
This floral maxi dress is so clearly Autumn Romance!The breezy shape lends a fairy-tale dustiness, balanced out by the rustic charm of boots.
I would suggest pairing it with demure jewelry and bringing your hair out in loose or softly curled layers for added Romance. It works beautifully for outdoor dinner dates lit by fall foliage or sparkly fairy lights.
Grey Suit Set + Black Cami + Mini Bag
This blazer and skirt is great when you want to be a little glamorous. I like to wear more fitted ensemble underneath to balance it out and give it a little sex appeal.
It‘s a serious attitude to have when you‘re on a dinner date at an glitzy rooftop place or sophisticated bistro. I think I‘d add some heels with pointed toes and slick my hair back to make it even more fashion girl chic.
Cream Knit + Wide-Leg Trousers + Soft Waves
That is the cozy glam definition. I love to pair those wide-leg cream trousers with a chunky-knit and soft curls Looks ideal without appearing to try to be.
I want to look like I am comfortable but still make a statement, and this certainly does. Just throw in some gold hoops, a structured leather bag, and you are ready for candlelight dinner or cozy wine bar.
Trench Coat + White Button Down + Straight Jeans
This vibe is totally Parisian classic and by that I mean effortless. Giving off “don‘t even have to try but I look incredible.” Wearing a timeless trench with a pair of clean denim and a tailored shirt makes you look distinctly city, distinctly French girl.
Tuck in the shirt or leave it halfway down going for a relaxed approach. Pair with kitten heels or loafers to suit the energy of your dining destination.
Cropped Tee + Leather Jacket + Baggy Jeans
This is super chill-girl casual and ideal for a casual fall date. I really like this huge, slouchy leather jacket with the loose jeans-look, just giving me a model-off-duty feel.
The baseball cap gives it a little tomboy element and the small, chest exposing t-shirt keeps it cute. I think this would be good for anything casual, a casual dinner, a festival outside, a walk to get pizza.
Tie-Front Top + Slit Skirt + Snakeskin Boots
Now this is exactly the kind of sexy, chic look that I love for dinner it’s sophisticated yet y sexy. The dark fitted tie-front top with the high slit skirt give an elegant form-flattering look.
I’d love to see these mixed print boots, which add a sa spicy touch. I say accessorize lightly and let the boots be the focal point I’d finish this off with a warm lipstick shade and a slick, high bun.
Corset Denim Top + Tiered Skirt + Slouchy Bag
This look is cute, playful, but tailored. I really like pairing a denim corset with a delicate, soft material like a white, flowy skirt.
It’s romantic but put-together, so you’d feel great heading to a patio dinner or taking a walk through a quaint town. I would do layered necklaces and loose, soft waves to enhance the girly factor. And take a delicious cardigan just in case it gets chilly!
Green Tweed Dress + Black Boots + Yellow Bag
This outift is all about timeless sophistication combined with a bit of avantgarde. I am a huge fan of the feel of the tweed outfit and the contrast with the black boots makes it more modern.
A pop of yellow in the bag is also very welcoming. Oversized sunglasses and bold red lips would do the job of completing it flawlessly.
Oversized Button-Up + Dark Jeans + Pointy Heels
If you are after that laid-back, cool girl feel, this is the outfit for you. I love to wear over-sized, striped, collared shirts with black denim and heels which is exactly what this is.
You could tuck only the front in or add a belt for a bit of definition at the waist. I would add a black shoulder bag and a messy bun for a relaxed but refined touch.
Black Leggings + Hoodie + Denim Jacket
I want to be comfortable but still cute and this outfit is just right. I wear it out to a laid back dinner or to pick up food and catch up on my park bench.
I would pop on some gold hoops or a shiny lipstick. An added detail I love is a cute printed sock showing from your sneaker.
Leather Jacket + Brown Trousers + Platform Boots
This one is feeling snuggy Autumnal. Loving that deep burgundy leather over tan trousers that‘s such a lush, seasonal pairing.
Platform boots add nonchalant edge (lunchtime cocktails on a rooftop or a new-restaurant-hotspot style is perfect). Slim hair and/or and dramatic liner feel particularly effective.
Burgundy Tights + Blazer Dress + Trench Layer
This is one of those looks that covers all the serious bases whilst still being chic and cool. I‘m crazy about the way the burgundy tights complement the coat, it‘s very well thought out and stylish.
A blazer dress is an ideal choice for an upmarket dinner date, providing a look that is strong but still fun. A clutch and pointed party pumps are all you need to accessorise.
Grey Sweater Set + Sneakers + Black Tote
This cozy-chic style is perfect for casual dinner dates or coffee dates that transition into dinner. I‘m a fan of pairing plush knit sets with crisp white kicks for the perfectly understated but put-together feel.
The roomy tote bags are both functional and stylish. Definitely add the oversized sunglasses and one of those oversized watches.
Leather Jacket + Camel Sweater + Distressed Skinnies
This one screams classic style to me I love pairing leather with rich fall shades for an edgy yet accessible look. The layered shirt beneath the sweater provides a chic preppy element, contrasted with the distressed jeans and statement boots for an easy-cool appeal.
I‘d wear this setup to a casual dinner with cocktails and good tunes. Throw on red lips and crazy oversized sunglasses if you want a “say hello to my off-duty city girl” look.
Cozy Cardigan + Wide-Leg Trousers + Sneakers
This combination of loose sweater and fitted pants provides comfort without overdoing it a chic, highly practical combination, and one that I wear regularly.
The utilitarian neutral colors are suitable for a relaxed dinner, or a first date, and the simple waves in hair and chunky gold hoops complement the look. Rest of the outfit is putting on a nice luxurious bag and fresh, white sneakers.
Black Turtleneck + Leather Shorts + Long Coat
How I love this style for a night when you want to serve understated drama. The contrast of cool black leather with a sharp boyish longline coat feels elevated without being over-the-top.
I do think this calls for some heels and a top-knot bun to pull off a chic look. It‘s always nice to have a warm drink in hand for additional ambiance and to keep those fingers warm.
Snakeskin Mini + White Cutout Top + Ankle Boots
This outfit is very fall glam with a contemporary twist. I am loving the printed mini skirt with the super sleek skin-baring top. It is the perfect look for a more glamourous or trendy dinner spot.
I would throw on some basic gold accessories and a structured clutch. If you are in the colder months, I would definitely add a cropped faux fur or leather jacket to make the look feel like an it girl.
Off-Shoulder Knit + Printed Midi Skirt + Suede Boots
This look is soft, romantic, and oh-so-pretty for a cozy fall dinner. I love combining chunky knits with floating skirts so pretty together!
The off-shoulder detail adds a little flirt factor for date night. Keep the accessories simple with dainty jewelry and a bag in neutral tones.
Red Cardigan + Relaxed Jeans + Brown Bag
This has a “date night in the city” kind of feeling. I really love the dash of red, it brings a bright fall feeling to the outfit.
I‘d just roll the jeans up a little and wear a sweet pair of ankle boots or loafers for a dressed-up casual look. Keep the make-up simple and dewy for a casual dinner-party look.
Chunky Knit Cardigan + Suede Skirt + Knee-High Socks
This just works for me because it’s fun and flirty and just the right for the fall. The giant cardigan and mini skirt and even the socks over the knees just amazes me, it’s almost like receiving a warm hug with a little quirk to boot.
I would definitely rock this for a casual dinner date or a coffee shop needed hours long chitchat. Throw a mess up ponytail with a cute ear ring or even two into the mix.
Oversized Coat + Baseball Cap + Wide-Leg Jeans
This is the major cool-girl autumn dinner outfit casual but wow. I love how chilled out and layered this look is, complete with a sporty baseball hat you‘ve got that ‘Just threw this on and still look great’ vibe down pat.
Amazing for a casual ramen or burger date in town. I‘m finishing this off with some modern platform sneakers and a small crossbody bag.
Grey Knit Cardigan + White Tee + Wide-Leg Trousers + Sneakers
This is definitely a stylish (and cozy) outfit to make you feel cozy yet polished. I love the mixture of luxury fabrics within the mix of layers and textures; a relaxed grey cardigan over the pristine Sloane chinos, it’s understated luxury which remains totally unobvious.
For comfort, I’ve kept the footwear and accessories on the casual side with the classic white Adidas and a cross body bag, perfect for a casual date. If I could change anything then I would opt to tuck the T-shirt in for a more streamlined look, and add another layer if I needed to stay warm.
Here is how you can style fall dinner date outfit
Cozy Sweater Dress: I adore this look. I‘ll throw on a plush, belted sweater dress, add some tall knee-high boots, and call it a day. For color think rich, warm shades such as rust, beige, and olive. Pair the outfit with some gold jewelry, a great crossbody bag, and soft, romantic vintage waves. Always a favorite--and perfect for dinner at the wine bar.
Leather Pants Look: I think the best way to wear the leather pants look is with a sense of glamour, wearing a floating blouse on top of it (think satin, wrap, ruffle) and high heels and a bright lipstick. (A big oversized blazer or cropped jacket adds nice balance.) I want to be comfortable and be a little dramatic! This totally hits it on the head:
Turtleneck Midi Moment: fall favorite! I think a printed or satin midi skirt looks super-flattering worn with a fitted turtleneck. Throw on a heavy coat (I can‘t resist plaid and camel). Loafers/ankle boots/heels all work depending on how fancy you want to be. Perfect for dinner, or just a bit of a walk around town.
Elevated Denim Fit: I want to be comfortable but also look high fashion so I say dark denim wash with a fitted body suit (square neck or of the shoulder). Throw on a long wool coat and ankle or heeled loafers. A big earring or clutch for some polish. Perfect for a casual dinner or a rooftop night!
