Throw a leather jacket over pretty much anything

  • A nice real black leather jacket is a staple in any woman’s closet.
  • However, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try other colors.
  • To experiment with other colors, go the faux leather route! That’s more cost effective and your wallet will thank you. Scroll for some options!

Then there’s the other fall staple: the denim jacket!

  • Like that always dependable buddy, the denim jacket is always there for us, through it all:-)
  • I for one, love a classic, fitted denim jacket but there are of course so many options out there: cropped; distressed; ombre; different colors…
  • Bottom line is, whichever option floats your boat, just roll with it!

Try a dress over pants or jeans

  • Anything goes with this one!

  • The idea is that your legs will be nicely protected:-)
  • Try a dress over cropped jeans, skinny jeans, flared jeans…It really is that simple!
