While Fall is usually associated with cozy fashion staples such as chunky knits, boots, and warm coats, sometimes, the weather can get a bit dreary, and it can feel like we’re mainly dressing for function, not style.
And, while this can make it easy to fall into a rut of dark colors and dull basics, it doesn’t have to be that way. Enter: colorful outerwear, AKA the answer to all of your fall fashion dilemmas!
While colorful outerwear may seem intimidating at first, it’s actually not much different from wearing a colorful top or dress. Furthermore, it gives you a great excuse to have fun with an area of fashion which, let’s face it, often gets a bad rap for being boring and repetitive.
Ahead, see four colorful coat outfits, and get inspired to try the look for yourself!
(Note: Some of the outerwear featured here is a little more expensive than what we’d normally feature on CF, but they are all amazing, versatile pieces that you’ll reach for time and time again.)
