Fall outfit ideas

Mornings are cold and afternoons are warm, so the trick is a light base with something you can take off. A good outfit starts from one warm piece, like a flannel, a cardigan or a shacket, worn over something simple.

Start with one texture. Pick one piece with character, such as corduroy, a chunky knit or brushed flannel, and keep the rest plain so it stands out.

Use warm colors. Rust, olive, camel, burgundy and cream all go together, so fall outfits are easy to mix and match.

Layer light over light. An open flannel or cardigan over a tee works better than one heavy sweater when the weather keeps changing.

Keep one piece fitted. If the top layer is roomy, keep the pants or the base layer neater so the outfit doesn't look shapeless.
