I love fall clothes, especially all the beautiful colors, cozy sweaters, gorgeous jackets, and coats. And while I enjoy getting dressed up, most days you’ll find me in jeans. The fun part is finding new ways to wear them so I don’t feel like I’m wearing the same old thing!

I’ve been trying out some new fall styles from Talbots, and I’ve put together five casual outfits I think you’ll really like. They’re comfortable, colorful, and classy, with a few fun twists to keep things looking fresh and modern.

Here’s what I’ve been wearing lately! Bonus, get 30%OFF your entire purchase! 

1. A Cozy Cape, Cable-Knit Sweater and Jeans

I love a little drama in my fall outfits, and this plaid cape is such a fun way to add it! The warm rust underside is gorgeous peeking out, and I love how the cape drapes over my shoulders. It feels more exciting than wearing a regular jacket.

This outfit also checks my four C’s of everyday dressing: casual, colorful, comfy, and classy! That’s always the goal, isn’t it?

One tip when wearing a loose, flowing cape is to keep your pants fairly slim. I’ve paired mine with straight, slightly tapered jeans and suede loafers, which balance the volume up top so the whole outfit doesn’t drown you.

And here’s what’s underneath! It’s a cream cable-knit sweater with its big, cozy turtleneck. The cable detail adds texture, while the ribbed waistband creates definition. That’s important with chunky-looking sweaters because you don’t want to look wide and boxy.

It also comes in cream, a gorgeous blue, and lavender. Just add jeans and loafers, and you’re ready to go.

2. A Classic Trench Coat With a Color Twist

I love the longer length of this cognac trench coat. It feels more modern than the shorter styles we’ve been wearing for years and looks especially chic with dark-wash wide-leg jeans.

The double-breasted design makes it a little dressier and more tailored, which is a nice way to dress up your everyday jeans.

Solid-colored sweaters are always chic, but every now and then I crave a pretty print.

I’m picky about floral sweaters. Some can look a little too old-fashioned for my taste, so when I find a pretty, on-trend one like this, I snap it up! The mix of navy and golden-orange (cognac) is such a popular color combination this fall that it instantly reads modern.

I’m wearing it with dark-wash wide-leg jeans, and here’s a little styling tip: When your jeans are wide, a shorter sweater that ends around your waist or high hip helps show off your shape and keeps your legs looking long.

Add a pair of suede flats for texture, and you’ve got a casual fall outfit that works just as well with or without the trench.

3. A Burgundy Coat That Makes Jeans Look Fabulous

Oh, this color! Burgundy is one of those gorgeous fall shades that makes even a simple pair of jeans look special.

What caught my eye about this coat is the beautiful oversized collar. It’s dramatic but still soft and feminine, and I love the longer length.

I’ve kept the rest of the outfit in similar shades of burgundy, from my sweater and handbag right down to my loafers. Wearing different shades of the same color is an easy way to create an elegant, slimming, coordinated look.

And speaking of loafers, take a look at these! I love the combination of rich suede and gold hardware. Suede gives loafers a softer, more luxurious look than traditional leather, and the gold detail adds a little glam.

They’re especially chic with jeans, but I’d wear them with tailored pants, too. A great alternative to ballet flats when you want something with a little more structure.

4. A Faux Suede Blazer With an Equestrian Vibe

This camel-colored faux suede blazer is a beauty! I especially love the slightly longer length and how it nips in at the waist. That little bit of shaping is important when you’re wearing wide-leg jeans. It shows off your waist so you don’t get lost in all that fabric!

I’ve pushed up the sleeves for a more relaxed, youthful look and paired it with a silky equestrian-print blouse. I love how the blouse adds personality and gives the blazer a less businesslike feel.

Here’s a closer look at the blouse. Isn’t that scarf-inspired print gorgeous with all the little chains, straps, and tassels?

I love pairing a silky blouse with dark-wash jeans. That contrast between the soft, silky fabric and the casual denim is what makes the combination so chic. The silk dresses up the jeans, while the denim keeps the blouse from looking too formal.

Add a soft faux suede blazer, and you’ve got a beautiful mix of textures that makes the whole outfit so much more interesting.

I went with loafers to carry through that classic equestrian, old-money look. And notice the patch pockets on the jeans? They’re a big trend right now and give this classic outfit a more modern feel.

5. A Pretty Brown Floral Shirt With Jeans

Not every fall outfit needs a sweater or jacket. Sometimes a crisp shirt, a belt, and a great pair of jeans are all you need!

I love the warm reddish-brown color of this floral shirt, with its embroidered creamy-white leaf print. It’s such a fresh fall combination.

And notice the little stand-up ruffle collar? Ruffles have been popular for a while, but I think we were getting a bit carried away! I much prefer smaller, more subtle ruffles, like on this stand-up collar. They’re feminine without feeling fussy or junior, and they add just enough detail to draw attention up toward your face.

This is exactly the kind of casual fall outfit I love for everyday wear. Comfortable, feminine, and easy to throw on when you want to look nice without getting all dressed up.
