Let’s be honest, when it comes to fashion, we all borrow ideas from each other. Even if we think we have our style figured out, deciding what to wear can sometimes feel like a puzzle. But, if you have a keen eye, you’ll know inspiration is everywhere. From the latest TV shows to celebrity fashion to the everyday outfits we see on the street, we’re constantly exposed to new outfit ideas that resonate with our personal styles. Personally, I love drawing inspiration from the unique outfits worn by people I encounter in my daily life. And this is the best way to get me fresh ideas for my own wardrobe. Now, with autumn on the horizon, the hunt for the perfect fall outfits has begun. So, I’ve put together a selection of chic outfits to help you blend seasonal trends with your unique style.
Floral Puff-Sleeve Dress for Casual Days
This floral midi dress, with it’s playful puff sleeves, is the epitome of autumn elegance. It’s delicate floral print and warm tones help to effortlessly bridge the gap between the lingering summer days, and the crisp arrival of fall. Complete the look with a pair of classic black pumps and a matching handbag for a refined finish.

Perfect for a casual day out, this dress will take you from brunch with friends to browsing the farmers’ market in style. And when the temperatures drop, throw on a light jacket or a soft knit cardigan in Almond Milk colour to add a soft neutral contrast to the floral pattern. If pumps aren’t your thing, swap them with heeled ankle boots for a bit more comfort.

There is something about plaid tweed that instantly evokes a sense of enduring style and refinement, reminiscent of classic Channel.
And when your personal style leans towards classics with a touch of modern flair, this chic plaid tweed mini skirt and matching top outfit is a perfect choice. Paired with a rich burgundy tweed coat, it’s the ideal way to welcome autumn in style.
Whether you’re heading to the office, to a casual meet-up with friends, or to an evening event, this outfit effortlessly transitions between settings. The plaid tweed in particular introduces a tactile richness. And the burgundy coat complements it with warmth, perfectly aligning with the season’s trending colour Sunburn. For a more casual look, I’d swap the heels for sneakers or ankle boots.

And how about this striking red suit to top off our autumn inspiration?
This bold, vibrant ensemble, paired with a playful teal bralette, is a testament to confidence and individuality. The fiery colour of the suit breathes life into the muted tones of fall. Guaranteeing you’ll turn heads wherever you go.
It’s a perfect choice if you’re not afraid to express your unique style and make a statement.
I particularly love how the Burnt Sienna Mary Jane shoes add a touch of vintage charm and complement the suit’s boldness beautifully. For a more polished formal look, swap the bralette for a sleep camisole or a slim-fit sleeveless turtleneck top. Meanwhile, also replace the Mary Janes for low-heeled shoes
Parisian Chic with Leather and Leopard Print
Meanwhile, if you’re looking for a skirt–centric addition to your fall outfits, this ensemble is the perfect answer!
I love how the leopard print top stays on trend to inject a playful touch. Meanwhile, the burgundy leather skirt brings warmth and sophistication to the table.

And the high-waisted silhouette, hitting just below the knee, is both stylish and practical for those crisp autumn days. To accessorise it well, a pair of slouchy tan knee-high boots not only add to the comfort factor but also are on a mission to enhance the overall fall style. Finish the look with a matching small brown handbag to polish further the look. A Black beret also goes a long way in complementing the look with a dash of Parisian chic.
