9 Basic Fall Outfit Ideas To Recreate || 2023

Fall is in full swing and I’m currently stocking my closet full of basics. Hollister was having a big sale last week so I placed a huge order. Their denim, basics, and sweaters have been my absolute favorite as of lately. Whether you’re headed to class, the office, or out for some weekend fun with your friends they’ve got an outfit for the occasion.

Today I’m sharing nine fall outfit ideas to rock this season. Enjoy!

Cooling Down On Campus

You know those first few weeks of fall where it’s not quite jacket weather? All of the cool girls will be sporting a puffer vest during them! This adorable cropped puffer vest instantly caught my eye— it’s a faux leather that keeps you surprisingly warm and looks far more expensive than it actually is.

It comes in a few colors but I thought this light taupe was perfect for the fall. I love the monochrome as I’ve styled this with a basic long-sleeve bodysuit and a pair of straight-leg jeans. These bodysuits are seriously the best basic; you need every color! They are cotton, double lined (aka not see-through), have a snap crotch (easy to go to the bathroom), and are a thong (no panty lines). Toss on sneakers and you’re all set for a busy day of classes on campus.

Keeping Things Casual

Some school mornings you just can’t be bothered to put much thought into an outfit. A basic white long-sleeve tee, jeans, and sneakers are always my go-to combination when I don’t feel like getting dressed. Toss on an oversized hoodie for those chilly mornings. The Hollister ones are so soft and come in a gazillion colors. Typically I size up in loungewear but these run on the larger side so I went with my true size, an XS.

Sweater Weather

Sweater weather is officially here and Hollister has so many cute styles to shop. I was dying to try their new oversized crewneck—these stripes are perfect for the fall. And they matched these parachute cargo pants to a tee. I have these in several colors and they are the best pants if you want to stay comfy but look cute.

They are super lightweight and just the right amount of baggy. These seriously feel like elevated sweats! They hit just at the ankles so I slipped into a pair of low-top sneakers. The Dolce Vita Zinas are my ride-or-dies.

Business Casual Wear

If you’re working or interning in a business casual setting this season, you need a pair of these pants. I’ve tried every pair of trouser pants on the market and none are as good as these right here. These pants are lightweight with a linen-like feel. They are super soft with an elastic waistband making them the most comfortable pants despite being office approved. Highly suggest if you’re studying abroad or planning a European trip—these go with everything. 

Up top I’m wearing one of their solid long-sleeve bodysuits. I wasn’t lying when I said I picked this up in every color! I had to have a basic white in my wardrobe. These tuck effortlessly into the pants giving the outfit a seamless look. Throw on a pair of mules and you’re good to go!

Fall In The Air 

tee || jeans || boots || hat || purse

These lightweight, ribbed long sleeves are a wardrobe staple for the fall. They come in several colors and can be worn both on their own or layered underneath a sweater/statement jacket.

Keep things simple for your next fall outing with a pair of straight-leg jeans. These have just the right amount of distressing and look good with everything. They look great with sneakers for class but they can also be dressed up with a pair of heeled boots for a fun fall date! Tossing on my favorite felt hat to complete this outfit.

The New “It” Pants

Cargos are all the rage this fall and I’m totally here for it. These bottoms are the perfect option if you’re sick of jeans but want something a little nicer than leggings. These have a little more structure to them than the parachute joggers I shared earlier in this post. They are sturdier yet still soft. I love the high waist + straight leg comb—it helps elongate the legs in no time!

Toss on a simple baby tee (these are the best and under $10!) and a pair of Converse and you’re good to go for a casual day of class!

Dinner and Drinks With The Girls

Do you want to look more “twenty-something” than “college sorority girl” for your girl’s night out? No need to buy a new top every weekend, that same bodysuit and jeans I shared in the first outfit can be styled with heels, a chic bag, and a few accessories for dinner and drinks.

You look a little more mature yet still stylish!

Tailgate Season

Football season is in full swing and chances are you’re headed to a tailgate sometime soon. If you don’t have any home team gear, I suggest reaching for the basics. You can’t go wrong with a bodysuit and jeans. Toss on a puffer to keep warm yet trendy during the day. Platform Converse will give you a little lift + are so comfortable for a full day on your feet.

In Office Internship

When I like something, I buy it in every color. Of course, I had to get those trouser pants in the deep gray as well. If you’re interning this semester, these pants are an absolute must. So many ways to style these. I’m wearing an XXS and am 5’2 and have a 24-inch waist for reference.

Have you checked out Hollister’s New Arrivals? They are seriously killing the game right now and are just a fraction of the price of all my favorite Abercrombie basics. (They are sister companies too so the quality/styles are up to par!). Hope you enjoyed these simple fall outfit ideas.

Let me know what brand you want to see styled next!
