Working Girl: Need a sleek 9-to-5 getup? Turn to style superstar and writer extraordinaire Elaine Welteroth for primo inspo.

Bold and Beautiful: Sometimes all you need is a vibrant jacket to complete your outfit. Right, Aimee Song? The beauty of a statement coat is you can wear basically anything underneath (even a simple sweater and jeans) and you’ll still look like one of the most fashionable style setters around.

Dress It Up: Blogger Jenny Cipoletti’s fall ensemble may look high-concept, but it actually only requires three pieces: a dress, blazer, and booties. What makes this look feel especially forward is the attention to detail. Instead of opting for a basic dress or pair of shoes, go for your most statement-making style.

Good 'Jeans': Your new off-duty uniform, found. Reinvigorate your favorite distressed skinnies by pairing them with a black sweater, on-trend suede duster, and slim ankle boots like the gorgeous Joan Smalls here. Adding layered gold chains and square sunnies will complete the effortless look. (Photo via Christian Vierig/Getty)

Jump On It: If you literally have 10 seconds in the morning to get dressed (we’ve all been there!), don’t underestimate the power of a jumpsuit. One and done. We’re loving the colorful iterations this year (like this vibrant yellow style) paired with ankle boots or your favorite pair of heels. (Photo via Christian Vierig/Getty)

Skirt Around: If you want to go for a skirt but the temps are just too brisk, pair your knee-length style with black tights and a stunning pair of knee-high boots. A denim coat and mock-neck sweater brings the entire look to the next level. (Photo via Christian Vierig/Getty)

Top Notch: Sometimes, it’s all about the accessories. If you want to give your favorite fall coat a refresh, add a belt to make it feel new again. Plus, it’s an incredibly flattering silhouette with the cinched-in waist. Pair with a colorful knit, flared pants, and boots, and you’re ready to leave a stylish lasting impression.

Close Knit: This is basically the look we want to live in this fall: a colorful sweater, wide-leg jeans, cool leather jacket, and of-the-moment white booties. The style trick here is to actually tuck the knit into your jeans for a flattering and fashion-forward vibe. (Photo via Edward Berthelot/Getty)

In the Trenches: When in doubt, just turn to influencer Danielle Bernstein for inspiration. Here, she transforms a lightweight trench into a dress by closing it up with a belt. The sneakers and plaid pants tone down the look, making it comfortable enough for running around on the weekend, but still dressed-up enough for an impromptu Saturday afternoon catch-up with your girlfriends.

Suit Up: Not sure what to wear to work? Keep a few printed suits on your rack and you’ll never have to think, “What should I wear today?” again. The beauty of a suit is that you can literally toss it on and be done — no need to coordinate a full look. Plus, the fashion elite won’t stop wearing them in a variety of iterations, dressing them up (with a blouse and stilettos) or down (with a tee and sneakers) depending on your office culture.

True Blue: Looking for an easy yet cool outfit to wear with your leggings? Pair those stretchy pants with an oversized denim jacket and hoodie. To elevate the overall vibe, go for a dressed-up pair of shoes like heels or ankle boots. If you want to keep it casual for Saturday brunch, sneakers can totally work too.
