Cardigans and jeans. Two Fall staples we love and often wear together when the goal is an easy, timeless, and comfortable outfit. While we're super excited about sweater weather [1], there's nothing like fresh trends to make the season all the more thrilling. One of our favorite Fall trends that we love in sweater form is leopard print [2], and the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's [3] has the cutest Boxy Cardigan [4] — currently on sale for $37 — that's perfect with jeans [5] for nearly every Autumn outing on your calendar.
If you like to pair cardigans with casual pants [6] like jeans, there are a few ways to make the outfit formula feel fresh time and again. For Fall, the neon accessory trend is a fun and easy way to accent a leopard cardigan and jeans look, whether you're into suede mules like our Executive Style Director Dana Avidan Cohn [7] or prefer a boot, bag, or headband in a bright shade. Since animal prints are so playful, polished jewelry is a great way to ensure your look feels sophisticated, and the latest Fall jewelry trends [8] have lots of options in store, whether you're into sculptural earrings, a chain-link necklace, or chunky rings for a sleek statement. The finishing touch is, of course, a bag, and we're all about supple leather styles in rich earthy tones this time of year. Not only are they versatile with a range of outfits, but they're also transitional between seasons so you know you'll get a lot of wear out of one, whether you splurge on a designer style or score an affordable version.
If you're searching for a cute Fall outfit [9] you can wear to work, on the weekends, for dinners with friends, and more, ahead, witness Dana in the perfect leopard-print cardigan and jeans outfit styled with bright green mules, a brown leather bag, and sleek gold jewelry. Shop her look so you can try it for yourself ASAP. Then, be sure to check back as we continue to bring you more easy Fall outfit formulas [10], from stylish slip skirt outfits [11] to polished trends you can wear to work [12] and cute looks that center on boots [13].
