23 Early Fall Outfits Inspo for September 2025: Stylish Looks to Wear Across Europe and Beyond

It is later-than-wilberful/wilberfulness air, a windier, warm kind of summer sun and the streets are beginning to rustle with golden leaves/yellow-leaved trees–yes, the early fall is upon us. And if you’re anything like me, that means it’s time for a wardrobe refresh. Not just a wardrobe, though: it should be smart top-and-tailing, assertive flourishes and things to layer like sea-air when in Italy, wind-lashed when wandering in Copenhagen and what to wear in New York. In this post, I am sharing 23 upscale early fall looks that are suitable for September 2025, and that would be as comfortable as they are stylish and able to be transported anywhere. So, shall we make up a fall lookbook that has that dream feeling?

Electric Safari: Wild Prints and Yellow Energy

Let’s end on a high-energy note. This is an interpretation of animal print that takes a different approach and gives it a new attitude. The simple combination of a plain, white tee, and a full flowing black, midi skirt is punctuated by a cropped faux-fur leopard jacket in neon yellow that catches the eye at once. Together with matching yellow high-top Convense, retro sunglasses and large pom earrings, this outfit is so confident and colorful.

Everything here is styled with intention. The color matching is bold and lighthearted- the yellow is used at least three times and never gets tiresome. It is balanced because the black skirt and white tee provide a restful point for the eye. It would be a totally awesome style to use when roaming the old time stores in Venice in the fall or even for a look when you are out and about on the streets in Greece in the summers when the sun is still up in the sky and the wind is cooling down.

I have always loved it when sneakers match outerwear as it is an automatic outfit trick. And the proof is in this look on how effective it is particularly in scenarios like casual warm weather as yet coats are not needed.

You might top off this one with ankle boots or you may level it with neutral accessories, but me? I’d leave it as is. It’s loud in the best possible way.

Soft Sage and Cream: Elevated Minimalist Ease

Sometimes fall calls for quiet sophistication. This ensemble makes that vibe in the best possible way a sage green oversized blazer over a simple white top with cream wide-leg trousers. The vibe is relaxed yet refined, and it’s perfect for slow, stylish mornings or transitional days that call for breathable layers and understated confidence.

The color palette is the real hero. Sage will have a peaceful year and it can blend well with off whites and other neutrals. The cut of the blazer makes the style more polished and the wide-leg pants very comfortable and free. I see this being worn in a Portuguese cafe garden in early September or even a creative meeting in Washington DC where you want to look free but strong.

I found a similar (but not exactly like it) blazer last spring while thrifting and it has remained one of my most frequently worn items. It is something so versatile, it goes with a European aesthetic without having to style it much.

I would make one small addition option which is to replace a rather dramatic earring or even a textural clutch. However, this gaze is precisely what fall of the first month usually requires: something relaxed, deliberate, and unconditionally stylish.

Plaid Drama: Luxe Layers with a Touch of Heritage

This last ensemble puts a wrap on things with muted theatricality and luxurious depth. A longline coat covered with plaid in black and cream grabs the attention as it is worn on top of a black turtleneck and pleated midi. The brown belt highlights the gymnastic training couture with a contrast of warmth, which is also replicated in the shiny tan leather ankle pair of shoes. It’s elegant, commanding, and deeply wearable.

I adore this type of September outfit as it allows the coat to shine. Longline cut creates a feeling of being there, particularly when it has pleats that are movement friendly. It has a near architectural quality (the monochrome base makes these photos awe-inspiring) and would be ideal to use in such skyline shots or inside historic city centres locales, e.g. walking the banks of the river in Munich or visiting in the opera quarter in Vienna.

This precise silhouette makes me think of how Tory Burch embraces transitional layering: the attitude of contrasting masculine edges with ultra-feminine touches. I have worn something similar in Scotland once and it photographed nicely and I felt just like I had stepped in to a story book.

To style this differently? Swap in a structured handbag or bold red lipstick. Instead, the simplicity is what makes it so powerful, honestly speaking.

Golden Hour Power: Bold Meets Structured

You can just tell that an early fall feels a bit more alive when it has a vibrant coat. The focus of this look is a beautiful big mustard-yellow coat with a thin white shirt and a wide black trousers. It’s classic and statement-making at the same time. Capped off with round eyewear, loafers with thick straps, and a silver quilted Chanel bag, the whole outfit bends towards the retro-modern aesthetic that is both luxurious and edgy.

Every piece here has a reason. It also has a classic white button-down featured in a more fitted and tailored version, and then the coat does the emotional work: it is cozy, and coats packed with bold color and the golden hue that we all want as the first leaves start falling. The top layers are fluid, whereas the bottom layers have structure in the form of leather-look culottes. And the chunky loafers? They’re walkable, edgy, and ultra-current. It is an ideal time on the move look to wear in New York or even a brisk walk in Copenhagen.

I played with a variant of this last fall, when I was in Madrid over a weekend, and oh boy, the compliments did not stop. And it was easy and trendy, and I was put together but not too thought-through. This is one color of the coat that makes all skin tones seem brightened. According to a recent interview that Caroline Issa gave to Who What Wear, she proclaimed that deep citrus colors are the neutrals of fall. I couldn’t agree more.

Want to elevate this outfit further? Swap the sunglasses for a tinted lens in an amber hue or trade the Chanel for a smaller structured bag if you’re heading somewhere a bit more polished, like Vienna or a museum stop in Europe in early September.

Cozy Neutrals for Crisp City Mornings

This outfit serves as a hug that one could enjoy all year round. Turtleneck outfit is chunky beige sneaking into relaxed light-wash jeans and the neutral-colored lace-up boots. The sounds are gentle and grounded, great to wear on laid-back sunny days when it might be cold out of the sun, but the sun is smiling. It is that sort of number you rattle out when sprinting over to, say, a farmer s market or brunch in Cape Cod, and manage to look stylish unsurprising, on the part of the latter.

Let us dissect it: the bulky knit is talking and is giving texture as well as comfort in a single swoosh. Denim is not too tight but it has its form- no distressed denim, just crisp straight cuts that fit well when layered or tucked. And those boots? Honestly, every woman needs a pair like this. It is not only the sporting boots that would be rather useful during the hikes in Scotland or walks on the banks of Lake Como, but they also make any style look grounded.

In my case, this is the type of attire I wear when the heat cools sufficiently to breathe without perspiring. Such a look culminates in my memory that simple in dressing is not the same as dull. Sometimes, less really is more.

I would also incorporate an organized mini backpack or a suede hat, in case you need to indulge in the vibes ever more. This outfit is a classic piece, especially when you are going to Alaska on a cruise or happen to be on the move through the parts of Europe in September.

Urban Cool: Knitwear and Leather Layers

And when it comes to must-do fall fashion, these are the ingredients of fall cool super glued together: oversized sweater, leather jacket, skinny pants, boots. Every single chord is right with this outfit because the outfit offers a soft slate-blue turtleneck and a classic black leather jacket sitting proudly on the shoulders. It is urban girl through and through, especially when it is teamed with smooth dark jeans and brooding dark brown lace-ups.

It is an ensemble that I seem to have used over and over again, a jacket-sweater combination that is always timeless. The knit’s softness contrasts the toughness of leather in the best way. And dark boots like these? They pull everything together and scream “ready-for-anything,” whether you’re in Washington DC or hopping between cafes in Munich.

I put out a variation of this look once at a dinner in the late fall in Portugal. I knew all I needed was to add a red lip and voila I felt like I was right out of a street style photograph. The trick to fabulous transitional dressing, according to stylist Maeve Reilly, lies in the fact that it all depends upon when to change fabrics, not shapes. That insight shows up right here.

This outfit can be elevated by a slouchy crossbody or a printed scarf. Or simply leave it bare- this is what is striking about it. It is an entire attitude of transitional thinking between hot and cool.

Gloss and Grounding: Chocolate Trench & Denim

Leather trench coat has an aura of magnetism and what makes it all the better is this dark chocolate color? Obsessed. This ensemble is all about texture sleek outer-wears on top of the cropped set of jeans and kicks to the level of glossy block-heel strappy boot. It whispers luxury while staying grounded. The slightly messy bun and chunky gold hoops are saying, I did not even have to work on it, but the answer is, I got it.

Chocolate brown is in the mode at the moment, and well it should be. It’s warm, indulgent, and plays beautifully with denim. The straight-leg jeans in this case are simple and classic, whereas the boots add some extra shyness and extra drama. This would be what I would pack in Venice in September and even a short wine-country getaway in the south of France.

A friend of mine appeared with such a look on last year at a fashion week in Japan and every single person who passed her turned around. Literally. The trench is that powerful. Refinery29 deemed patent leather the next-gen neutral of fall), and I can understand why.

A contrast would be a soft silk scarf or a big tote would be added. This ensemble has already got a story to it- so why not add a posh epilogue.

Effortless Edge: Athleisure with Leather Twist

Now this is how you do off-duty in style. SB is pure magic as the combination of black leather jacket with classic grey hoodie with ripped skinny jeans and clean white sneakers adds that attractive touch. It has edges that are both rebel and lax–and that is what you want to wear on a day when you are out and around the city and need an everyday outfit on a travel day that is still eye-catching.

The hoodie makes the picture earthy, whereas the jacket makes it edgy. Torn jeans add that extra touch of rebellion that everybody wants in his/her wardrobe. And the white Nikes? Instant clean-girl approval. It is one of those concepts that women always question me on when they need to be adorable, but comfortable at the same time- say you end up sightseeing Switzerland or taking a coffee and boarding a train to a far-flung part of Europe during fall.

I’ve worn this kind of combo countless times. This particular combination has rescued me in Sydney during a day wherein the predicted conditions reversed themselves. Hurl the jacket on or off and knot the hoodie at the waist, and boom, versatile stylishness.

It only needed something to liven up the color, perhaps an eye-catching lipstick, or a little leather pouch in the colour burgundy. Otherwise, it’s ready to roll as-is.

Graphic Edge and Sugar-Coated Tailoring

It is a juxtaposed outfit: bold with a touch of playfulness combining femininity with slight punky vibe. A black graphic tee and tailored houndstooth trousers are edgy until a dusty rose coat warms them and adds a bit of charm. Whether you are on business or pleasure, white sneakers make the capture down-to-earth and current, whereas the Louis Vuitton circle bag gives the outfit a touch of luxury. This appearance is more of a grey area, and that is why it looks so good because it seems a bit constructed and on the other hand, casual like the September wardrobe should.

Each piece plays its part. The structured wool coat is timeless in shape, but the soft pink color makes it perfect for transitional styling—ideal for cooler early mornings and sunny afternoons, whether you’re strolling in Europe in early fall or grabbing coffee in Copenhagen. The retro and tailored high-waisted houndstooth pants mix with the oversized skull-print tee that has the semi-rebellious edge, but is not overstretching that aspect. And sneakers? Always a yes. They keep things light and flexible.

What I wore the first time I visited Vienna on a weekend city escape was a bit similar- except that my coat was in camel which I so badly needed to be pink. This combo has real “cool girl” energy without the pressure. Think Vogue Paris meets your favorite indie playlist.

Given a more polished look that I would be doing this in, I would add some black kitten-heel ankle boots and lazily tuck the tee in. But to be real, it is a style that does not require a make-over- all that is required is a swagger and a cold wind.

Layered Chill: Denim and Snowy Neutrals

Layers on layers on layers: Soft, minimal, and easy-cool are just a few reasons why this outfit should be a masterclass on the art of putting on layers during this tricky in-between weather. The foundation is a creamy white hoodie, but on top of it, there is an oversized denim jacket with a light wash to inject some nostalgia. Combine with straight beige trousers, creamy knit beanie, and a chic taupe Gucci crossbody and you have one of those ideas women come to when they have to stay warm but do not want to wear so many layers.

Here the denim jacket is the saviour, it can be worn on casual warm days but will also serve as a structure to the whole outfit. The color palette is splashed with white hoodie and beige trousers which add extra flavor of texture and comfortable outfit. That beanie? A staple. Most particularly when you are going into early fall in Switzerland, or Scotland, or all the breezy days on the cusp of Lake Como.

I’d wear this outfit straight off the plane during a September trip to Portugal in the off-season—easy to layer, travel-friendly, and just stylish enough to feel elevated without screaming “I tried.”

To get an added advantage, I can replace the pants with cream cargo joggers and use a red lip. But by itself, it is the kind of outfit that is that fresh-clean-feel and is always bookmarked on Pinterest and eventually recreated.

Street-Smart Monochrome with High-Low Balance

Logomania has grown up—and this look proves it. A Balenciaga oversize sweater over a white shirt makes this combination as high-fashion as possible (it would be more than perfect when combined with black tights, a crossbody bag, a baseball cap, and Converse-like sneakers). There is nothing casual in nature about this outfit but rather confidently effortless with an all black color scheme to make it ideal to wear in early fall cities, like Madrid, or fashion-conscious walks in Japan.

Let’s talk details. The imbalance that would have been created by huge silhouette is balanced by the sleek form fitting tights, keeping the looks proportioned and trendy. The cape adds some athleticism, and the standout bag over the chest is setting the entire look with the feel that I am on my way to the next show, which is perfect during fashion week in Europe in September 2025.

In fact, I borrowed a kind of this look temporarily when I was in Munich and it seemed to be so appropriate under the street-art-decorated background and more than that, under the café patios. Somehow it feels comfortable being the girl with the brands on loudspeaker-type but the pairing with a button up and classic sneakers maintains the non-flashy.

If you’re in the mood to remix, swap the tights for faux leather biker shorts or trade the sneakers for tall boots. It is so flexible and is open to the fall rush lifestyle.

Boardroom Couture: Architectural Officewear

This isn’t just officewear—it’s architecture in motion. A bit of layering a gray blazer with an asymmetrical cut on a black mesh top paired with a wide leg plaid trouser totally reverses the traditional work attire. Sleek, sculptural, dominating- this is the type of September outfit you are wearing when you have somewhere to go where you want to be heard first, then spoken to.

Everything about this look is precision. That balance and intent is created by the fit of the blazer and how the body is framed by it as well as the structure of the tailored top underneath together with the drape of the wide leg trousers. It is providing ideas on the way to significant meetings in Washington DC or an opening of a gallery in Vienna. That large black tote in the background? Prepped to go paperwork-wise, or perhaps simply a murderous lipstick and your AirPods Max.

I did when I once arrived at a creative client pitch wearing something that was inspired by this, and despite shaking inside I felt like the most confident professional. This silhouette can trick your brain into confidence.

Would I change anything? Maybe just swap the top for a dark crimson turtleneck for warmth if you’re heading to Scotland or Alaska cruise territory—but otherwise, this is the blueprint.

Parisian Punch: Retro Elegance with a Pop

French-girl chic with vibrating red, this is the atmosphere. The deep shade of houndstooth and black is the best base in front of the aggressive color of cherry red boots and the same beret. This is directional and very grown up, but has an element of playfulness with a structured clutch, over sized sunglasses and a white turtleneck.

The custom-made houndstooth coat is a necessity, when going to cooler cities like Venice in late September. The leather pants add a luxe touch and those red sock boots? That’s where all the magic lives. This is what I put on when out in the south of France to dinner early, or on a wander about in the older parts of Greece, not to be forgotten, not quite to be mistaken.

I was informed by a stylist once that, it is important to always have at least one piece that makes you smile when wearing it at a time. For me, it’s red boots like these. They turn every sidewalk into a runway.

Some black leather gloves or easy necklace like a chain necklace could add more polish I think. However, as is, it is one of those European styles that can easily switch cities and times.

Autumn Campus Girl: Playful Academia with a Retro Twist

This appearance has a more or less literal whiff of pumpkin spice and sharpened pencils. Picture a cosy cardigan, retro glasses, yellow button-down blouse and mild blue ripped denim jeans, put them together with good oxford shoes and boxy camel bag. It is a straight up fall fantasy that exists somewhere on the spectrum of retro academia and Pinterest darling. A classic to stay crisp on a weekend or Sunday walk through golden leaves in Cape Cod or Washington DC.

Let’s talk pieces. Knit cardigan has good vintage feels and the colorful embroidery adds the vintage feel of handcrafted and unique appeal. That mustard blouse? One adventurous hero item-it is only an extra softness and counterpoint. The overall effect is brought down to earth by the ripped jeans, and the caramel-colored lace-ups on the end is the smartgirl final touch. Greater ideas women seek casual fall travel in Europe at the beginning of September.

I even wore a version of this to a bookshop cafe in Scotland last year, and I recall the number of people complimented the cardigan. Someone once said to me, I look like a Wes Anderson character, to which I guess, I can say that is a compliment.

To add to that you should replace the jeans with a midi skirt and add on some ankle boots to make it more stylish. This version, with a mug of something warm in hand, is already towing all the right pre-autumn notes.

Polished Punk: When Leather Meets Plaid

Here’s to the women who want to make a statement without saying a word. This ensemble creates a dramatic effect, as the contrasting pieces are juxtaposed here: the structural form of the leather jacket, the high-waist of the red and navy plaid pencil skirt. Throw on some black tights, a lovely burgundy shirt, some yellow-colored pumps, and a caramel-colored crossbody bag to create that desired contrast between edgy and feminine. It is the type of appearance that one carries when he is not afraid to have some little power in his stride.

This is a blend of tough guy and suaveness that is just right. The skirt is old-fashioned and fitted, this leather jacket is associated with rebelliousness and the yellow shoes? A wild card that makes it. It’s ideal to wear in New York when you’re bouncing from a museum to a dinner reservation. Or perhaps to an early gallery night in Greece, where sophistication and sophistication stride side by side.

I’ve always been fascinated by styling through opposites. This outfit captures that. It makes me think of the Prada Fall collection 2018: where all the ladylike lines were combined with the riot-girl style. And I still carry that inspiration every September.

I’d only add a slick red lip and maybe an oversized pair of earrings to elevate it further. But it is a total image in itself–not one to be talked about, but one to be said.

Fire & Florals: Color Confidence for Transitional Days

It is a look owned by the tame-less individuals who use fashion as an art form. A bright orange blazer is encircled with a matching clutch and a soft striped top as an undergarment as well as crops in black culottes. Completely dressed out with clean black booties and glasses to hold the entire outfit brought together, this outfit blossoms with personality, and street-ready in September or in a place of travel to any city in Europe there is the flair.

The orange on orange is powerful. Harper Bazaar calls bold monochromatic suits one of the most confident trends of fall and this makes it clear. Stripes introduce the new rhythmic and the black culotte disturbs the visual impact in a required ratio not to the extent which makes it inappropriate to wear. Add sleek ankle boots and you’re ready to dominate fall sidewalks in Madrid, or turn heads at an outdoor art installation in Copenhagen.

One time in Portugal, in Septemberthat is, just before rains came, I had something like this on, and so not only did I look odd in a crowd of beige trench coats, but I also felt like my whole look was fitting into the scenery. It was that kind of an issue of this is who I am.

I can slap on one of my crazy-colored gold pins or even an orange-red lip to seal the color scheme. But honestly, it already glows.

Checkerboard Cool: Grids and City Lines

Gridlines meet skyline. This outfit is architectural and graphic as the black-and-white check dress is complemented by a fitted black turtleneck. A thick split lends expression of movement, and the pointed slim leather ankle boots introduce some city drama. It is neat, cute, and an ideal September look to put on in New York, particularly, when you go on a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and feel the city bustling behind you.

The key here is restraint. Black and white never go out of fashion and the check pattern is interesting but non cluttering. The turtleneck under it makes it weather-wise in early fall and the pointed boots? They mean business. This was easy to be transported to Munich or to Vienna or to cold mornings of Japan.

Layering is one of my September faves and this does the job with elegance and no bulk. It’s the kind of outfit that moves with you. Like a shadow, but stylish.

You know, in case you wanted to give texture a go, I would wear a wool beret or a mini bag in leather. However, speaking the truth, this silhouette talks too much, which is why it is best to leave it uncomplicated.

Playful Retro: Fall in a Storybook Frame

This ensemble would seem to have come out of a retro 60s film strip. Dressed in a bright mustard-coloured sweater, a capacious white collar, a black mini-skirt made of velvet, suspenders, and opaque tights, it is feminine, ingenious and jovially eccentric. Complete with ankle boots and a representative yellow mini bag, this combination is leaf-strewn sidewalk- and seasonal-beverage ready. Cogitate concepts women may wear in European places in September days in fairytale towns or even antique book stores in Switzerland.

What I love here is the whimsy. The suspender skirt speaks volumes in its own right, and with a clean-cut collared sweater, it is the perfect look of classic prep, however, sweetened. Tights make it work in cooler weather and the ankle boots are an ideal balance of edge to the entire outfit. The matching bag? A cherry on top. It’s playful, but incredibly wearable.

I had something very similar for one weekend market in Lake Como, and, yes, it did attract favorable comments of people who were absolute strangers. It also made me feel light and feminine but not too delicate. This ensemble makes me remember that fashion is not necessarily serious.

When I wanted to give this a more dressy look, I would trade in the boots by instead wearing kitten-heeled loafers and would wear gold hoops. However, currently, it will be perfect in any fall outdoor adventure.

Modern Mod: Geometry and Confidence

Plaid, pleats, and some mustard magic this ensemble is fall basics with an urban flair. A windowpane check coat, finished with a black and white design is the highlight of the day, and it is styled, as a sweater, with yellow and layered beneath a pleated black mini skirt. Add black opaque tights, lower block suede shoe, and a bright yellow accessory bag and you will have that ideal smart and somewhat casual look to explore neighborhoods with crunching leaves at your feet.

There is some real art behind the process of appearing playful and at the same time being polished and this outfit is a perfect example of that. The customized coat puts it formal whereas the mustard and mini combo personalizes it. This would be great to wear to brunch in Copenhagen or even in gardens of Switzerland. This color blocking is also memorable and flattering but not loud.

The same combination even worked in a cold September in 2023 in Europe–minus the yellow splash, which I sorely missed. This bag here just adds the light to the entire look

To spice it up? The shoes can be swapped with pointed ankle boots or a necklace added over the sweater. Even as it is it is so delightful–gay and imaginative, with a touch of wit.

Cinnamon Chic: Monotone Done Right

This look is fall elegance in motion. A luxurious wrap blazer in warm camel fabric is lined and puffed at the upper arms with a cropped style that is belted in at the waist, worn over a pair of sleek black lengthening leather-look leggings and a rich suede knee-high judging by the thickness of the cable. A minimal brown crossbody finishes the look with purpose. It will be clean, classy, and the perfect look to wish you radiate warmth without having to utter one syllable during a nice early fall day.

Everything is tone-on-tone here, and that’s the beauty. Compared to each other, all of the camel pieces are a bit different, but when assembled, they all look luxurious and work well together. The black leggings are a contrast to the palette as well, but not too much, and they add shine. This look is Italian elegance meets modern-day Manhattan.

I had something similar on in Madrid one September when I was flying solo. It was comfortable, flattering, and I felt unstoppable. It is something that can be worn in meetings and on dates.

To further, chill in there, I would suggest a silk scarf or some stationary gold earrings. But honestly? The monochrome magic speaks volumes on its own.

Artful Layers: Belted Cape and Sleek Neutrals

This ensemble is a cross over the fine art exhibit, fine art exhibit–stratified, sophisticated, and suddenly not so wary. A wool cape of earth tones is color blocked, with a white shirt placing a belt around the waist, made of tan leather. Leather knee-high boots are accompanied by black leggings and a simple black tote which is given to add some structure to the outfit.

I enjoy the sensation of being covered-up when it is hard to decide between going in the wind and going in the cold–such as in the early fall. This suits perfectly well a scenic walk in Lake Como or going to the countryside art market in south of France. The color range is inspired by fall itself, olive, wine, navy, caramel.

I have previously dabbled in this silhouette in Vienna and it made me feel a bit regal and dramatic without having intended to do so. The belt adds that flattering touch to it without taking away the dreamy look that can get lost in an oversized garment.

Want to elevate it more? Trade out the bag and using something more woven or even a felt hat takes the profile that much further. Either way, this look is unforgettable.

Soft Luxe: Sporty Meets Elevated Neutrals

Neutrals are so elegant and there is something so quiet about neutrals. This outfit does that very well. A simple cream boucle cropped jacket comes in a gold button detailing which is matched with a knit crop top and relaxed rolled up jeans. A comfy pair of chunky dad sneakers, a Gucci crossbody in classic canvas, and a T-shirt with the Chinese proverb added to it will make everything look much hipper with a touch of designer pizzazz.

This outfit works so well because of its contrast. Its boucle fabric is rich and classic but its light denim and sneakers bring the overall look into the now. That is what you have on, when you are out gallery hopping in Japan or even by the market on a Saturday morning in Scotland. Casual, but carefully curated.

This would mix with my airport looks also I would wear to make it comfortable yet make the picture on Instagram. The crossbody is both practical and photogenic.

My addition could be large sunglasses or the red lips. And the minimalism of it is already a powerful gesture- it shouts luxury but it is the wordless shout that is usually louder than an overt one.

Bold Stroll: Lemon Coat and City Energy

There are moments when you require a hue that pierces through all the gray and this lemon colored double-breasted coat does just that. The style is classic ragged jeans, with some general athletic appeal, and a red neck scarf to ensure that it gets the contrast it needs. It is a complete scene in a street- a sidewalk to be precise- to have ideas pass by New York or even a street art tour in Berlin.

This is one of those outerwear-first outfits. The coat stands out and is stiff, and the red scarf tugs in the right amount of retro-ness. The jeans make it down to earth, and the sneakers make it an everlasting piece to wear. This is one of the best to wear when traveling into Europe during fall, as it helps brighten a gloomy day and makes even train platforms look like runways.

I tried something like this in Alaska cruise territory—yes, with sneakers!—and I felt like the pop of color kept the energy high even in the cooler breeze. The favorite one was the scarf tied around the neck. It’s so simple, yet instantly stylish.

Want to make it more elegant? Put on pointy-toe boots and a crossbody bag with a deep wine or oxblood color. However, this look is already going in the right direction.

And that is all 23 September-speaking outfits ideas. Whether you’re drawn to cozy layers for a weekend in Cape Cod, a vibrant statement for the streets of Madrid, or something effortlessly cool for a casual warm weather stroll through Lake Como, this season is all about dressing with presence and joy. You can Save your favorites, Remix as you go and use these looks to inspire your early fall style story- where ever 2025 takes you.
