If you’ve been holding off to shop till fall weather arrives, this is the time to refresh your casual fall wardrobe essentials.

Their ColdControl Puffer Jacket comes in several great colors, including this pretty Warm Golden Brown, which plays right into the Salted Caramel fall color trend we discussed yesterday.

It has a quilted, water-resistant outer with 100% recycled wellon fill and an easy zip front. I love the soft lining at the collar; it feels so nice against the skin.

The straight, easy fit hits right at the hip, which I think is the perfect length for a shorter puffer jacket, and it runs true to size or size down if in between. I’m in the small, and it’s comfortable worn over this cozy sweater.

I love the tone on tone combination of this light brown puffer and the darker brown sweater, and they pair perfectly with light wash denim.

These Mid Rise Classic Straight Jeans are a slim, straight style with a 29″ inseam in the regular size, for a sleek, full-length fit. They also come in short, tall, and extra tall lengths.

The stretch denim is extremely comfortable, but they do stretch some with wear, so you may want to size down if in between. Brown boots and bag in the same color palette complete the casual look.

I also styled these straight leg jeans with sneakers, to show you how they look with a flat shoe. They come right down over top these low profile sneakers, for a long, lean leg line.

This time, I topped them off with a a burgundy puffer vest layered over a grey thermal.

This vest is the same style and material as the jacket I’m wearing above, but it’s a little more versatile and sporty. Once again, it’s true to size, or size down if in between.

I’m wearing a small in the vest, but I sized up to a medium in the thermal, for a more relaxed fit. I don’t like it when my thermals are skin-tight.

This is the perfect fall sideline outfit. If you have kids (or grandkids) in sports or marching band, this is the type of outfit you need to feel comfortable and put together while cheering them on.

When you want to level it up a bit but keep it on the casual side, you can’t go wrong with black denim.

These High Rise ’70s Flare Jeans in an inky black wash are a classic every fall wardrobe needs. I love the fit, slim but not tight through the thighs, and then a subtle flare from knee to hem.

I topped them off with a chunky stripe v-neck cardigan worn over a classic black tank. This sweater also comes in navy and white, but I love the camel and black combo for fall.

For size reference, I ordered this sweater in both the small and the medium, and the small seemed a little too short in the body and the arms, so I went with the medium.

I love the subtle balloon sleeve and the contrasting tortoiseshell buttons. Such nice details on a sweater at this price point.

This time I went with a black bag and black boots, to keep the look cohesive and allow the sweater to really pop.

And finally, I had to try that Forever Cozy V-Neck Sweater in the June Bug. I love this shade of green, and it pairs so nicely with black.

I love the shape of the v-neck, and the subtle contrasting design in the knit. It’s super soft and cozy and comfortable, and the slouchy fit is perfect for a front-tuck.

That said, it’s not so long that you can’t leave it out, as I did in the first look with the puffer coat.

These jeans also come in a wide range of sizes, in short, regular, and long lengths. I’m wearing the 29 regular, and the 32″ inseam is perfect for pairing with a low heel.

Again, the black boots with black flares help keep a long, lean cohesive look on the bottom.
