12 Fall Loafers For A Classic Autumn Look

Sep 07, 2024

Every fall, loafers make their inevitable comeback, looking chic and smart with every outfit. They’re versatile, comfortable, and always stylish. Perfect for making a statement at the office or strolling through Central Park like Meg Ryan, loafers add a polished touch to every outfit.

From classic penny loafers to trendy colors and tassels, there are thousands and thousands of loafers out there to choose from. This year, the best options range from sleek flats in neutral tones to bold, heeled versions in rich autumnal hues like burgundy, green, and camel. With choices like soft suede, glossy leather, and even two-toned options, it's easy to find the perfect pair to elevate your wardrobe this season. Here are my favorites to shop right now!

Quince

Italian Suede Penny Loafer

I have become such a fan of Quince lately (their affordable cashmere is to die for!), but I’ve never looked too closely at their shoes. Big mistake. Quince has really cute flats, heels, boots, and loafers! This pair comes in suede (another huge trend this fall), in black, almond, and cognac — plus, they're made from premium Italian suede.

DSW

Sam Edelman Loraine Loafer

For a lighter leather option, look no further than Sam Edelman’s Loraine. In a creamy beige with goldtone hardware and a sleek silhouette, this is a pair you’ll wear again and again (and again) this fall. I can already picture these with a darling midi dress on an early fall afternoon!

J.Crew

J.Crew Winona Penny Loafers In Spazzolato Leather

Brown loafers for fall are a MUST. This pair from J.Crew are perfection. New this season, these loafers are supposed to be extra comfy while looking incredibly chic. Always shiny and polished thanks to the spazzolato leather, these loafers are a win. This perfect pair also comes in black, if you prefer.

Quince

Italian Leather Lug Sole Loafer

Looking for something a little tougher? Quince has your back. These lug sole loafers, made with real Italian leather, are simply cool. The very trendy lug sole not only looks good, but provides extra traction in the fall and winter months. A classic shoe with a very trendy twist, these shoes are perfect for the office, brunch with the girls, or a night out.

Sam Edelman

Sam Edelman Linnie Bit Mule

Another option from Sam Edelman at a slightly higher price, the Linnie Bit Mules are open backed loafers that are just as cute as regular ones (if not more). A best seller and for good reason, this shoe comes in a variety of colors (black, tan, stucco pink, brown) and fabrics (leather, faux leather, fabric, velvet, patent), so you’re sure to find a pair you love. Dibs on the emerald jade velvet.

Boden

Boden Iris Snaffle Loafers

If there’s one thing I’ve learned today, it’s that I have not been paying Boden enough attention. These loafers are gorgeous and come in unique patterns and colors. As someone on the leopard print train, these are ones I’m seriously eyeing for fall. I love the drama that the oversized and chunky gold bit on top. Honorable mention: the polka dot pair.

Sam Edelman

Sam Edelman Elaina T-Strap Flat

Another Sam Edelman victory. The Elaina flat is a unique loafer due to its adjustable T-strap and chunky gold buckle over the top of the foot. This out-of-the-box pair will punch up any outfit and add some spice to your day to day.

J.Crew Factory

J.Crew Factory Classic Loafers

For high quality loafers at a very affordable price, J. Crew Factory has you covered. Coming in Glazed Pecan, Rustic Brown, and Black, these loafers are classic and sleek for a shocking $60. And they’re 15% off right now!

Madewell

Madewell The Vernon Bit Hardware Loafer in Leather

Madewell’s version? A somehow classic but trendy pair of loafers. A best seller right now, these loafers have a stacked heel to give you some height and a shine that stands out. They’re made with Madewell’s Cloudlife Lite padding, which means these shoes should feel like a dream.

Dr. Martens

Dr. Martens Adrian Women’s Virginia Leather Tassel Loafers

Who said loafers have to be basic colors? Not Doc Martens. The Adrian loafer comes in muted olive, gunmetal, and lavender, along with black if neutrals are more your style. Even if you pick black, this style will still stand out — the tassels feel classic and timeless while the lug sole provides some edge.

Charlotte Stone

Charlotte Stone Black Floral Chelsea Loafers

These may be the coolest loafers I’ve ever seen. Bright and colorful floral leather cutouts contrast against the black leather, as does the white trim across the front. This pair would be perfect for dressing up an outfit for a night out, since these loafers need to be on a dance floor, or simply seen out and about as much as possible.

Madewell

Madewell The Grayson Penny Loafer

Looking for something a little more unique? The Grayson Penny Loafer from Madewell may be the pick for you. Coming in contrasting color leathers, these classic loafers are anything but boring. With a round toe, stacked heel, and very cute (and removable) gold penny, these loafers are fun and unique for fall.

11 Flattering Plus Size Jeans That Hug You In All The Right Places

When it comes to clothing, there's nothing more empowering than a good-fitting pair of jeans. And I'm not just talking good, I'm talking these-jeans-were-literally-made-for-me good. As a midsize gal who once exclusively shopped in the plus size section, I know how hard it can be to track down that quality in jeans. Luckily, I've done the research through lived experience (and lots of shopping) and found a handful of brands who've absolutely mastered making on-trend jeans for gals with curvier proportions. Scroll on to see 11 downright flattering pairs of plus size jeans, all perfectly eligible for year-round wear to boost your confidence and complement your personal style.

Levi's

Levi's 501 Original Fit Women's Jeans

Levi's 501 jeans silhouette is the literal blueprint when it comes to denim. They're utterly timeless, and thankfully, very flattering. With a high waistline and straight legs, they're also really easy to wear any way you like. This medium-wash pair in particular will fit closer around the waist and hips before flaunting a looser fit along the legs. The material they're made of boasts a gentle stretchiness to move with you perfectly! Available in sizes 16-24.

Old Navy

Old Navy Extra High-Waisted Sky-Hi Wide-Leg Jeans

One major quality I look for in plus size jeans is a high waistline, because I've found it fits my body best and helps smooth out my tummy. This pair from Old Navy features an extra high waist which is balanced out by wide legs, creating a silhouette that favors bodies that might be more top-heavy. The coolest part is the colorblocked design that'll absolutely turn heads wherever you wear 'em. Available in sizes 00-30.

Gap

Gap High Rise Barrel Jeans

Gap also has tons of plus size jeans to pick from! Barrel jeans are hot right now, and no one should be left out of the trend. This style is shoppable in a wide size range and four different denim washes to help you find your perfect pair! This one is especially comfy since the legs are meant to be very drapey and loose. The waistline is definitely more fitted, and the hem of these jeans tapers inward to create a playful shape that can work stylish wonders with your body. Available in sizes 24-35.

Good American

Good American Always Fits Good Legs Straight Jeans

Good American's plus size jeans are really unique in that they follow a versatile one-size-fits-four sizing chart and always flaunt a gap-proof waistband. The material they're made of has 100% stretch that "ensures optimal flexibility and unrestricted movement." You'll find that the mid-rise waistline and straight leg styling will work with a variety of outfits and garments, making these a great pair to rock year-round. Available up to size 32.

Madewell

Madewell The Plus '90s Straight Jean

These jeans are made from a stretchy material that still retains some rigidity for shaping your body, but not restricting it. They are fairly fitted through the hips and thighs but boast a higher back rise for a "curve-enhancing lift." I really enjoy the darker wash on these, too. It feels perfectly formal for in-office days or date nights, but can easily be styled for casual outings. Available in sizes 14-24.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love Low Rise Baggy Jean

Abercrombie & Fitch's Curve Love line is a total godsend for curvy and plus size people. The bespoke fit "eliminates waist gap with additional room through the hip and thigh," and while you may feel weary about rockin' a low-rise pair, I'd argue they're the comfiest silhouette you could ever rock, since the waistband won't dig into your stomach. The baggier fit around the hips and legs is helpful on lazy days, too, all while still making you look put-together. This style comes in so many different washes and lengths. Available in sizes 23-37.

Old Navy

Old Navy High-Waisted OG Loose Utility Jeans

The vertical seaming on these jeans can help shape your body and supply a nice elongating effect for your legs. The waistline sits at the belly button while the fit is only semi-fitted through the hips and thighs. These also have a slight stretch to them, thanks to 1% spandex. Available in sizes 00-30.

American Eagle

American Eagle Stretch Super High-Waisted Straight Jean

American Eagle also brings the range when it comes to plus size jeans. If you're on the hunt for a solid everyday pair, these straight-leg jeans are it! They're crafted from a mid-weight structured denim material with "just enough stretch" for everyday comfort. The medium wash is perfect for pairing with anything from blazers to t-shirts, though they also come in two lighter colors. Available in sizes 000-24.

Free People

We The Free CRVY Gia Wide-Leg Jeans

These designed-for-curves jeans have an additional 2-inch difference between the waist and hips to accomodate for larger, curvier bodies. The high waist-wide leg combo is ultimately super flattering since it can help balance out your figure. I'd absolutely wear these with my fave sweater and ballet flats for fall time! Available in sizes 28-35.

Levi's

Levi's Classic Bootcut Jeans

Another staple in the Levi's jeans vault, this bootcut pair is especially laidback. They have a hint of stretch that's perfect for sporting every day, and the vintage-inspired silhouette is totally on-trend for this season. Levi's says they're their "softest jeans ever." Available up to size 26.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch Curve Love High Rise Cropped Wide Leg Jean

Cropped jeans are especially fun to wear with boots, so you can show off your best footwear. These A&F jeans also follow the brand's Curve Love guidelines, being made with additional room along the hips and thighs. The material is equal parts drapey and rigid to help shape your bod. Available in sizes 24-34.

34 Scary Halloween Recipes Guaranteed to Freak Out Your Guests

You're starting to think about your haunting party invites, completing your DIY Halloween costume, and planning those spooky table settings, but what about cooking spooky-scary Halloween recipes? Bloody meringue bones and witch fingers and dip will get your guests hungrier than a zombie in a morgue. There are a lot of sweets on the menu, but you won't be stuck with just leftover trick-or-treating candy.

Get ready for some seriously startling recipes and ideas that'll have you and your guests doing a double-take. Keep your defibrillator handy, because these terrifying treats are not for the faint of heart.

Half Baked Harvest

Boo! Spooky Monster Chocolate Covered Pretzel Brownies

This is one of the easiest Halloween recipes you'll make this year and it's not scary to eat! Okay, the angry owl eye might rub someone the wrong way so we'll give you that. But, guests will forget all about it once they taste the sweet combo of instant coffee powder, vanilla extract, and milk chocolate!

Brit + Co

Mummy Pizzas

Trick your kids into eating their veggies by turning zucchini ribbons into tasty mummy bandages atop French bread pizzas. Take advantage of the Halloween holiday to get extra playful and silly with your food. To start this dish, grab ciabatta rolls or similar rectangular rolls, sun-dried tomato pesto or pizza sauce, grated mozzarella cheese, small zucchinis, and black olives. Halve the bread rolls, add your sauce of choice, sprinkle with cheese and use a vegetable peeler to cut the zucchini into thin ribbons that can be haphazardly placed on the roll at different angles. Use the sliced olives for eyes, and bake for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you can mummy out!

Brit + Co

Ghoulish Red Velvet Cake

Bloody bones, crumbled red velvet, lots of sugar — this dessert is everything a Halloween treat should be. You'll need a few hours to make the cake, frosting and bones from scratch in the DIY masterpiece. Check your pantry and refrigerator for butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa powder, buttermilk, vanilla extract, white vinegar, baking soda and cake release spray for the cake; egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar for the bones; and mascarpone, icing sugar, heavy cream and blackberry syrup for the for the frosting. As far as supplies goes, it'll also be helpful to have a mixer, piping bags, cake stand, a few mixing bowls and a measuring jug.

Brilliant Bites by Maegan Brown

Mummy Meatballs

These meatballs take on the flavors of your favorite pasta dish. The eyeballs, crafted from ricotta cheese and black olive bits, add in the spooky factor!

Brit + Co

Spooky Halloween Popsicles

Autumn weather is notoriously unpredictable. Make a batch of spooky frozen pops in case you find yourself sweating through your monster mask. Your ingredient list for these includes a bar of dark chocolate, heavy whipping cream, a can of coconut milk, condensed milk, a pack of candy googly eyes, and popsicle molds. Also, be sure to set aside about four hours to complete this Halloween party food idea.

Brit + Co

Bug Tuxedo Cake

This bug-covered cake is gorgeous, but it will absolutely creep out your friends and loved ones. We imagine this is what they served when Beetlejuice tried to marry Lydia. For this Halloween menu item, grab a chocolate cake mix, white chocolate, butter, powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. This recipe will yield a four layer cake with thick frosting and thick chocolate ganache poured over the top. Mm, yum!

Brit + Co

Spider Halloween Cookies

These creepy crawlies actually carry everything that's great about dessert – peanut butter and chocolate! They're easy to make after you bake the cookie base. Simply press a PB cup into the dough and decorate accordingly.

Brit + Co

Raw Avocado Zombie Bars

Unlike zombies, vegans don't eat brains, or any other food that comes from an animal for that matter. Instead, serve them up some raw, vegan avocado zombie bars for a healthy treat. You'll get about 16 servings with this recipe, which requires Medjool dates, raw almonds, cocoa powder, coconut oil, avocados, agave nectar, coconut oil, a blender or food processor and an 8x8 inch brownie pan.

Brit + Co

Petri Dish Jello Shots

Usually we *avoid* putting germs in our body, but these Jell-O shot petri dishes look so good, we just can't resist having one for dessert. Oh, and they're make-ahead, leaving you more time to work on your costume.

Brit + Co

Blood Bones Cocktail

These bones are anything but dry in this spooky cocktail! Spike your punch bowl with bones made from Jell-O shot ingredients, including whipped cream vodka.

Brit + Co

Halloween Avocado Toast

What's more terrifying than millennials spending all their hard-earned cash on avocados and destroying the real estate industry? Turning those avos into totally freaky breakfast toasts, of course.

Brit + Co

White Chocolate Strawberry Lab Mice

October 31 is the only time of year when seeing mice in the kitchen is actually a good thing. After all, they're made from strawberries and white chocolate! This make-ahead treat is easy to put together and ideal for a mad scientist themed spooky party.

For this Halloween recipe, all you need are strawberries, white chocolate melting wafers, and red food coloring. Set a few of the wafers aside to be used as mouse ears, and melt the rest in the microwave-safe dish for about 30 seconds. Then dip your strawberries into the melty chocolate and place on a flat plate or surface to help them keep their shape. As the chocolate starts to set, place two wafer on top of each strawberry for the ears. To achieve the spooky red eyes, mix red food dye into the remaining melted chocolate and use a fork or toothpick to pick up the color and complete the look. For more mad scientist Halloween food ideas, check out this lime green petri dish jello shot recipe.

Brit + Co

Black Martinis

Despite it's witchy vibes, this cocktail is sweeter than it seems. It gets its dark color from blackberries, Chambord, and a drop of food coloring. We imagine this something that someone from the Netherworld in Beetlejuice 2 would drink while creating their own brand of chaos.

These Easy & Scary Halloween Recipes Will Spook Your Party Guests

Brit + Co

Midnight Galaxy Donut Holes

Howl at the full moon while snacking on glorious galaxy swirl donut holes. Just make sure you bring enough to share with the werewolves.

Brit + Co

Halloween Monster Sushi Bites

Get the kids to help decorate these monstrous sushi bites, and they might actually forget about candy for a while. They feature friendlier versions of Frankenstein, Jack Skellington, and a seemingly disgruntled pumpkin.

Brit + Co

Eyeball and Mummy Cake Balls

Nothing like popping an eyeball in your mouth for a sweet snack, right? It's just the dessert you need if you plan to scare the little people in your life. They'll probably sleep with both eyes shut super tight in case they think you've run out of eyeballs to snack on.

Brit + Co

Blood-Splattered Petit Fours

Pound cake squares and sugar glass sounds totally scrumptious to us. Those who faint at the sight of blood might want to skip this one, though.

Brit + Co

Bloody Meringue Bones

You don't need any special ingredients to make realistic edible blood. Frozen blackberries, sugar, and lemon juice do the trick nicely.

Brit + Co

Black + Orange Rum Punch

This rum punch is on the tamer side of the spooky drinks you can serve at your Halloween party. It's a black and orange cocktail that'll only make your guests look at it sideways while drinking it.

Brit + Co

(Gummy) Worm Ice Cubes

For a Halloween cocktail trick and treat, add gummy worms to your guests' ice. They'll enjoy watching the worms float in their black and orange rum punch drinks.

Brit + Co

Monster Eye-Scream Cookies

If you like cute more than creepy, these adorable ice cream cookies have your name written all over them. Grab your favorite sugar cookie recipe, royal icing in a variety of colors, and fondant for homemade candy eyes if you can't find the store-bought kind.

You can DIY candy eyes by rolling out fondant and using straws to cut out uniform small circles. Once the fondant dries, you can add on black dots with an edible market to finish the eyes and set aside. Then, before you bake your cookie dough of choice, use cookie cutters to create fun and cute shapes in the dough like hearts, triangles, stars, and more.

Think about the colors you want to use for your designs (we opted for a pastel palette with pink, yellow, peach, and blue), and dye the royal icing as needed to match your desired hues. Then get to work on decorating your cute scary monster cookies!

Domestic Gothess

Witches' Finger Cookies and Red Velvet Hot Chocolate

Name a more iconic duo than witch finger cookies and red velvet hot chocolate — we'll wait. This Halloween recipe uses a buttery shortbread dough for knobby fingers, blanched almonds for fingernails, cinnamon for dirt and red food coloring to get the gory bleeding look. The coolest and creepiest part of this dish is the red velvet hot chocolate dipping sauce that looks like a goblet of blood.

Some quick tips: Once your cookie dough is ready to go, you'll want to measure out 1/2 tablespoon quantities of the dough, roll them into a ball, and then into a log shape. Be sure to make them quite thin as they were spread in the oven while baking. For the knuckle indentations, use a knife to make the ridges. Get the full spooktacular treat at Domestic Gothess.

A Spicy Perspective

Halloween Monster Donuts

Kids can make their own frightful Halloween Monster Donuts over pre-made glazed donuts in this yummy no-bake dessert or breakfast.

Half Baked Harvest

Voldemort's Dark Serum

Harry Potter fans will delight in this spooky Halloween cocktail made with a mix of pomegranate juice, tequila, Chambord (raspberry liquor), lemon, and warming sage.

Boulder Locavore

Slow-Cooker Vampire Punch

Have chills running up and down your spine? Ghouls of all ages can sip on this non-alcoholic crimson punch. For a more potent potion, add rum. To master this recipe and round out your Halloween menu, you'll need a slow cooker, five minutes to mix all the ingredients, and three hours of patience to let it brew. Hawaiian Punch, ginger ale, and Red Hot Candies are the hero ingredients here. To take this to the next level on the spook-scale, use dry ice for a smoky vibe.

Salty Canary

Jack-o-Lantern Pumpkin Ice Cream

Halloween heatwaves don't stand a chance against cones of grinning, grimacing pumpkin ice cream. Besides, everyone loves seeing pumpkins take on a life of their own during the spookiest month of the year!

Half Baked Harvest

Haunted Orchard Cocktail

After tip-toeing through a haunted orchard, who wouldn't crave a cocktail to calm the nerves?

Domestic Gothess

Jack-o-Lantern Personal Pies

Carve pie crust jack-o-lanterns to top these personal pies.

Jelly Toast

Spider Web Cereal Treats

Jazz up your usual cereal treats with a thick layer of chocolate ganache and a web of icing on top. Simple, spooky, and superb.

Salty Canary

Halloween Monster Popcorn

When stocking your Halloween pantry, you'd better buy edible googly eyes in bulk. Add them to everything from popcorn to oatmeal to instantly make your meal mortifying.

Texanerin Baking

Whole Wheat Witch Fingers + Dip

Talk about scary Halloween snacks! Healthy and Halloween don't have to be mutually exclusive. Serve this on days when you're not feeling the sweet stuff.

Curbly

Halloween Bark Recipe

Dark chocolate and bloody red candy melts combine to make this popcorn bark a spooky treat.

Give it Some Thyme

Spooky Chocolate Glazed Cannoli Dip

When faced with a vat of chocolate glazed cannoli dip, the only thing we have to fear is our appetite.

Cilantro Parsley

Graveyard Dessert

This ghostly dessert will haunt your guests taste buds with how yummy it tastes.

All The Jaw-Dropping Red Carpet Outfits From The 2024 Emmys

If you ask us, celebrating our favorite TV shows is just as much fun as watching them, and the 2024 Emmy Awards made for such a memorable night. From John Oliver celebrating all our pets to Selena Gomez and Martin Short having the sweetest onstage moment, we can't get enough of all our favorite stars. And that includes the celebrity style! Everybody made the "Best Dressed" this year, but these are the most show-stopping looks we can't stop thinking about.

The Best Red Carpet Outfits From The 2024 Emmys

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

Ilona Maher in Oscar de la Renta

Ilona is scoring a gold medal with this gorgeous midnight blue gown. I love the way it highlights her shoulders, and how chic the peplum detail is. Plus, the silver jewelry really reminds me of stars in a night sky!

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

Brie Larson in Chanel

Speaking of dark blue moments, this Chanel look is the perfect 'fit for Brie's Lessons in Chemistry nomination. It's giving classy yet creative, which is something Elizabeth Zott would approve of.

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Ayo Edebiri in Bottega Veneta

I LOVE this wild black, yellow, and orange pattern (and not just because it's giving The Cheetah Girls). Ayo's strappy black heels and earrings balance out the bold color palette, and loose waves keep the look from being too done up.

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Nicola Coughlan in Prabal Gurung

The statement-making, sassy, no-apologies vibe of this look is giving me MAJOR Lady Whistledown vibes. And Dearest Reader, what else is there to say?

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

Kristen Wiig in Oscar de la Renta

Kristen's gown is a lesson in playing with texture — and how rocking a monochromatic look with minimal jewelry can still make a statement.

Amy Sussman/Getty Images

Anna Sawai in Vera Wang

Anna made history as the first Japanese star to win for Best Lead Actress at the Emmys — and she did so wearing one of the most beautiful looks of the night. The mermaid silhouette is playful but edgy (thanks to the pointed detail of the bodice).

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Dakota Fanning in Armani Privé

I cannot stop looking at this gorgeous champagne and pearl number Dakota wore on the red carpet. It's the perfect mix of feminine, classy, and understated, and even though she isn't wearing a necklace or bracelets, the pearl detail makes this dress its own accessory.

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Quinta Brunson in Georges Chakra

The silhouette of Quinta's dress comes across similarly to Anna Sawait's — but Quinta takes a Clara Bow approach to the look with an old school hairstyle and moody glam. Obsessed!

13 Comfy Alo Finds I Need For My Lazy Girl Fall Wardrobe

I am a self-proclaimed lazy girl, especially when it comes to my wardrobe. Working from home requires nothing but comfy clothes that won’t distract me from getting my tasks done, and once the day’s over, I want to be wearing a no-fuss ‘fit that I can laze on the couch or run a quick errand in. Aside from my collection of sweater dresses and baggy jeans, athleisure staples like sweatpants and soft hoodies are on weekly rotation. Alo has totally mastered the art of athleisure pieces that still have an elevated effect, making it my go-to destination for fall coziness. Scroll on for 13 Alo finds, all wonderfully worthy of your dream fall outfits!

Alo Yoga

High-Waist Micro Plisse Straight Leg Pant

This sleek pair of pull-on micro-pleated pants is light and breathable, plus boasts a 4-way stretch material all around to prioritize utmost comfort. They wear like your favorite sweatpants, but are way more elevated.

Alo Yoga

Waffle Weekend Escape Mock Neck Long Sleeve

Waffle knit pieces like this mock neck shirt are my saviors when it comes to comfy fall dressing. This pick would make a great light layer for hikes, camping trips, or busy evenings when it's cold out. The extra-long sleeves and high-coverage neckline keep you feelin' warm, no matter where you wear this top.

Alo Yoga

Wild Thing Bra

This bra-crop top hybrid is made with Alo's Airbrush fabric, which is "breathable, incredibly soft, and constructed with four-way-stretch for a perfect fit." The ruching down the front adds a flattering effect that can be easily paired with matching leggings or loose-fitting trousers for an effortless (and a lil' sporty) fall outfit.

Alo Yoga

Accolade Straight Leg Sweatpant

Shoppable in 11 cozy fall-ready colors, these straight leg sweatpants offer endless styling opportunities since they're cozy enough to be casual, but polished enough to dress up a bit. The French terry fabric they're made of is "smooth on outside and fleecy on the inside," and you'll immediately fall in love with their super-soft feel once you put them on.

Alo Yoga

Alolux Cropped Me Time Cardigan

This "cloud-soft" cardigan is begging to be worn just about every single day this fall. It's the ideal length to pair with high-waisted flare leggings or jeans, and the versatile neutral colorway will go well with any other color you want to wear.

Alo Yoga

Denim Knit Shawl

Inspired by the feel of denim (but not actually crafted with it), this slouchy shawl can easily be draped over basic tank tops for a tailored look. The wide, oversized sleeves make it feel like you're literally wrapped up in your favorite blanket!

Alo Yoga

5" Airlift Energy Short

Black biker shorts are a must for wearing with fleecy pullovers and long sleeve tops during fall time. I love the sporty feel they give to any ensemble, especially when you pair 'em with technical fall sneakers. From the gym to the grocery store, this pair offers some nice sculpting support!

Alo Yoga

Muse Hoodie

This light cropped hoodie with a soft ribbed knit is the perfect piece for WFH or jetting out to the gym. The cordless hood is easy to throw over your head when you need extra coverage, warmth, or emotional support (we've all been there). I love this deep purple colorway for the fall season, though the style is also shoppable in 6 more adorably timeless colors.

Alo Yoga

Dreamscape Button Down Long Sleeve

You can wear this button-down in a multitude of ways, leaving it buttoned, unbuttoned, or even tied around your waist or shoulders when you no longer require an extra layer throughout the day! Its lightweight crinkle woven fabric offers unbeatable breathability, so you could even sport this well into summertime. This green color is to die for, too!

Alo Yoga

Alosoft Backspin Dress

When it comes to comfy fall 'fits, give me atheleisure dresses or nothing else. Oftentimes, they're designed with a built-in bra and underwear which help eliminate any coverage concerns. This supported pick flaunts a high neckline, a fitted waist, and a flouncy skirt that flatter your bod perfectly. The open back design also boasts a strappy look that you can choose to show off depending on the day!

Alo Yoga

Tennis Club Sweater Knit Cardigan

Hello, tenniscore! This longline cardigan gives all the country club vibes with an elevated knit texture, sporty stripes, and polished buttons and pockets. Pair it with the matching Tennis Club Sweater Knit Dress to totally ace the aesthetic – in the coziest way possible.

Alo Yoga

Airbrush High-Waist 7/8 Bootcut Legging

I adore flared and bootcut leggings like these for cozy fall ensembles, because they feel more loungey than your typical form-fitting leggings. Though these boast a "soft, cottony feel," they still offer enough support for your workouts, all while shaping your figure seamlessly.

Alo Yoga

Alosoft Center Stage Bra

Whether you sport it as an under layer or show it off on its own, this extremely-soft sports bra wears so comfortably. The scoop neck is equally elevated and relaxed, making it the ideal item to bring to your next yoga class or couch-bound movie date.
