'90s vibes

The ‘90s were all about grunge–dark colors, fringed edges were in, and everyone was wearing Doc Martens. Moody and cute, this look would be perfect for a day of reading at a coffee shop, shopping with friends, or celebrating a special occasion.

That '70s Babe

If the ‘90s aren’t your vibe, maybe the ‘70s are! This cute outfit gives vintage vibes while still feeling current and on trend. We love the look of the loose sleeves on this slouchy sweater, and the round retro  sunglasses are the cherry on top of this outfit.

Sleek Boho

 Autumnal brown tones combined with cream and gold feel almost like a pumpkin spice latte. The long-sleeves will keep you warm for outdoor activities like apple picking and harvest festivals, but this is also a sweet outfit for a family holiday get-together.

Mint Condition

Evergreen is fresh for fall–especially when paired with creamy neutrals. For a casual occasion, style the skirt with neutral items like a simple white bodysuit and a crossbody bag. Add a pair of western boots and a wide-brim hat, however, and you’ve got the perfect look for a brunch date or a backyard BBQ party.

Preppy Polished

If you love the back-to-school style vibe but you’re wearing more elevated looks now, this adorable but sophisticated look should check all the boxes. Comfortable-but-still-cute ankle booties, a chic crossbody, and gold accessories tie together the preppy vibes, but you’ll definitely feel more like a (stylish) teacher than a student when you wear this look.

EDGY-GIRL FALL

If you love classic fall fashion but it isn’t quite baddie enough for your taste, this look might just be your cup of tea. Sneakers keep this look down to earth, but the rest of this fit is anything but. If you’re a fan of Clueless, this look might remind you of something Cher or Dionne might wear, especially the leather bucket hat!
