It's official! Fall is here and we couldn't be more excited! Que trips to the pumpkin patch, warm apple cider, the smell of crisp autumn air, and of course, a new fall wardrobe full of timeless classics and trends we all love. Nothing is better than spending a fall afternoon with your favorite people while looking your absolute best! With that being said, let's take a look at 10 pieces that will be all the rage this fall.
1. Sweater Vests
Who needs sleeves anyways? This 70’s staple is making a comeback in 2021. Sweater vests can be worn alone, or layered over a blouse, dress, or tee. Pick up a fun print to stand out or keep it calm and pick up a neutral.

9. Satin
Meet our new favorite material, satin! We love satin because it can be dressed up for a business casual look or can be dressed down for a sexy date night outfit. It’s versatile, comes in so many colors, and looks great on everyone! If you don't have a satin piece or two in your closet right now, what are you doing?
