This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Texas chapter.

If you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe or restyle your favorite pieces, you’re in the right place! Here are some ways to find stylish articles to incorporate into your closet and experiment with new styles. You can shop for these at various price points or draw inspiration to mix and match items you already have, creating a cozy look that perfectly matches the fall season vibe with style!

1. Denim on denim

While this may seem like an excess of denim for some, there are plenty of ways to curate this trend to suit your preferences. Pair a denim jacket with denim pants or a skirt, and layer it over a plain or printed undershirt for a balanced look. Alternatively, go for a full denim lookby styling a collared denim shirt, peplum top, and pants, or even a denim dress. Denim serves as the foundation, but for a fancier vibe, explore styles featuring embroidered or printed denim, pearls, patchwork, or color-blocked designs. You can even accessorize with denim items, like a denim hat or bag, to add a unique touch!

2. Statement Necklines

Necklines such as mock necks, cowl necks, shawl necks, collar necks, fur-trimmed necklines, and funnel necks are excellent ways to make a statement with your outfit, even when wearing a plain top or sweater. These styles not only look chic but can also be easily dressed up or down, making them a versatile addition to your sweater-weather wardrobe. Elevate your cold-weather style by incorporating these trendy necklines into your outfits!

3. leopard print

This is the trend that’s everywhere this season. It can add a fun flair to your outfit, and there are many ways to style items with this print. You can incorporate this style into your wardrobe in a minimal way, such as through a leopard print belt, bag, shoes, or by having the print on one part of a garment, like the sleeves or as a border. You can also go all out with a fully printed dress, pants, leggings, or blazer! Other ways to include this print are through outerwear, such as puffer jackets, raincoats, or cardigans, as well as jewelry. This print will make you stand out courageously!

4. Colorful denim

This may seem like a bold and risky choice, but it is a fun trend to try! You can opt for colorful baggy or wide-legged denim with amonochrome blouse, sweater, or sweater vest. Other ways to style this trend is with a graphic tee, matching jean jacket, color block button-down top, or a solid t-shirt!

5. Kitten heels

One of the most comfortable, yet cute and stylish heels are back for the season! There are options in mules, low slingbacks, pumps, mary janes, or square toes. They can be found in minimalist and maximalist styles and in various prints and colors. There are also designs with bows, studs, leather, suede, or you can opt for a classy nude colored pair. They can be styled with dresses, skirts, office wear, and even jeans. For colder weather, kitten heeled boots are also a great option.

Fun fact: the name “kitten heel” may have originated because of the small, dainty size of the heel, similar to a kitten’s paw. Hence, the picture!
