When it comes to fall fashion, I’m all about mixing classic preppy style with pieces that feel fresh and current. This season, I decided to step away from my usual skinny jeans and put together a look that’s equal parts timeless, affordable, and just a little bit updated.
The barn jacket is my new fall favorite. It has a classic preppy outerwear vibe that is structured but easy, cozy but not bulky. It feels like something you’d throw on for a crisp morning coffee run or a weekend of leaf peeping. Best part? It’s an affordable fall jacket that looks way more expensive than it is.
And I’ve officially ditched the skinnies and embraced straight-leg jeans. This pair from Loft hits that perfect balance. It’s polished enough to wear with a blazer and relaxed enough for everyday errands. They’re flattering, versatile, and make every outfit feel more current. If you’re refreshing your fall wardrobe essentials, straight legs are the way to go.
What I love about this look is how simple but pulled-together it feels. The barn jacket adds structure, the straight-leg jeans keep it modern, and I added this cashmere tee to give it a little polish. It’s classic New England style with a 2025 update, and it’s proof you don’t need to splurge to create a chic fall outfit idea that works for just about anything on your calendar.
