September 22nd officially marks the first day of fall. One of the more challenging dilemmas to overcome is selecting the right fashion choices for this transition from warm to cool weather. We’re here to guide you on essential wardrobe pieces to make things a little easier.  

While the temperature drops slightly at the beginning of the season, it’s often still warm outside. Thus, it’s essential to look for lightweight fabrics in clothing items, such as cotton, linen, and light denim. Layering is an absolute necessity, as you may start your day in jeans and a jacket, and might end up in just jeans and a T-shirt as the day goes on.  

There are quite a few pieces that are the foundation of any fall wardrobe, many of which are very versatile. A pair of jeans from Levi’s or Wrangler is classic, and they often last for years. Chelsea boots in suede or leather can be a warmer option for shoes, as they don’t feel overheated, and can be worn dressed up or down. A classic trench coat and a denim jacket are perfect outerwear options, and investing in a simple, high-quality sweater could be worn throughout the colder months. 

Autumn is filled with exciting, timeless fall fashion trends; Color palettes including earthy tones like burgundy, forest green, and burnt orange are super popular, and plaid and houndstooth patterns are classic. Oversized knitwear and corduroy can be seen throughout any department store, and truly never go out of style during this time of year.  

Certain style choices must be practical to fulfill the needs of those working in trades, and striking a balance between safety and comfort in changing weather conditions is a necessity. As discussed, layering is crucial for staying warm without overheating, and materials like ripstop or duck canvas are durable for harsh working conditions. Waterproof and insulated work boots will keep the feet clean and warm, and moisture-wicking shirts or sturdy vests are great transitional items. 

This fall, as you’re wearing durable clothes to handle the weather, remember that the same principle applies to your equipment. A well-maintained machine, like a quality jacket, is built to last.
