Though it might feel like March 216th, the pumpkin spice season is officially here. Alongside the leaf-themed decor and the smells of cinnamon and caramel, fall is a fresh chance to completely revamp your wardrobe. No matter the look you want to see yourself in this season, you can never go wrong with some help.

Here are four must-have statement pieces for this fall that are sure to pull any outfit together; while making you look sleek, polished, and very on-brand!

1. Knee-High Boots

Knee-high boots are a classic fall staple that is easy to dress up or down. Paired with a chic blouse and some jeans, they can easily upgrade a casual outfit from dreary to dreamy. These boots are also a perfect asset to winterize any summer dress and if it’s extra chilly, just throw on a cute cardigan or denim jacket to complete the look. However you opt to style them, knee-high boots are sure to add the perfect touch of put-together to all your fall fits. Not to mention that they look good on everyone! My personal favorites are from Public Desire and Nordstrom Rack.

2. Oversized Blazers

Oversized blazers create a trademark “model-off-duty” look and for all the right reasons! They quickly make you look like you have everything together and carry a cool factor that’s easy to envy. Similar to knee-high boots, oversized blazers can effortlessly go from street style to evening wear. Paired with biker shorts, aviators, and a cropped tank, they can add an athleisure aesthetic to otherwise basic pieces. Thrown over a matching formal jumpsuit, they can be worn to mirror the monochromatic trend while still remaining elegant and elevated. My personal favorites are from H&M and Zara.

3. Statement Earrings

A fast and straightforward way to enhance any outfit is through the use of statement earrings. With so many colors, textures, and styles to choose from, statement earrings are a surefire way to bring creativity and ingenuity to any outfit. Pair brightly colored earrings with a plain white t-shirt and jeans or with a single dark-colored dress/jumpsuit and watch your outfit level up. These little touches of color, print, or design can bring to life an otherwise dull and boring look with very little work. Add a bag to match, and you’re ready to go! My personal favorites are from small businesses found on Etsy and Made With Wonders.

4. Small Handbags

Similar to statement earrings, accessorizing with a small handbag is a simple but effective way to transform your outfit. Small bags have been omnipresent all summer and are sure to continue to be so in the fall. As the season progresses, try pairing a neutral-toned outfit with a small brightly colored handbag for a pop of color. You can also pair a small bag with an oversized graphic tee for a classic model-off-duty look. To make your bag more personalized and fall-friendly, try tying a silk scarf around it. My personal favorites are from JW Pei and Pretty Little Thing.
