No idea what to wear this fall? Take inspiration from these 7 fabulous outfit combinations spotted on the streets of New York.

Fashion Month has officially begun: last week, New York kicked things off, opening a month packed with shows and presentations.

And while the SS27 collections hit the runways, giving us a first glimpse at the trends set to dominate next season, out on the city streets, trendsetters were serving up looks, styling ideas and fresh combinations that could prove very useful this fall.

Over the past few days, some have chosen to stay in summer mode, stepping out in lightweight, colorful pieces. Others have mastered the art of layering, strategically combining multiple pieces. And some have already brought out the key staples of their winter wardrobes.

The result? A variety of looks that reflect different ways of navigating the transition from one season to the next — while offering plenty of inspiration for how to dress at this tricky time of year, when unpredictable weather and fluctuating temperatures are the norm.

If you’re looking for some inspiration, here are 7 street style outfit ideas to bookmark for fall.

Fall Outfits: 7 Ideas From Street Style

Knit dresses are one of the biggest staples of the colder months. So how do you make them feel cool during the first days of fall? The secret is pairing them with a few strategic pieces and accessories. One example? A leather blazer, knee-high boots, an oversized clutch and a purple sweater (for a pop of color) draped over your shoulders.

Wide-leg pants are another permanent fixture in our closets this season. They look great with comfortable heeled ankle boots, but it’s worth giving the outfit a twist — perhaps with a colorful velvet jacket and a bucket bag with a chain strap.

One combination that never disappoints is a sweater and midi skirt. Add a pair of heeled mules and the right It bag, and you’ve got an easy yet chic look that works at any time of day.

If you’re bored with the usual suit, here’s a fall alternative: opt for a mustard yellow suede co-ord, featuring a jacket and pencil skirt, and elevate it with animal-print sandals and a top-handle bag. What should you wear underneath? A T-shirt, button-down shirt or sweater, depending on the temperature.

Another foolproof combination, especially at this time of year, is a blue button-down shirt paired with cuffed jeans. It might sound basic on paper, but with the right accessories (in this case, two-tone pumps*, a* brown tote bag*, a* suede jacket and a multicolored scarf), it can make a serious style statement.

New York street style also gave us a great idea for wearing a pencil skirt outside the office: pair it with a cropped checked bomber jacket, patent pumps and a shoulder bag.

And if you never know how to style your black pants, try pairing them with an oversized cardigan. All you need to make the look work from morning to night is a belt to define the waist, neutral-toned pumps, a top-handle bag and shield sunglasses.
