Fall preppy favorites

This article is in collaboration with Sézane.

If I had to describe my personal style, I would say it’s a mix of classic, preppy, casual, and sporty. There are many things involved, but what I value most is items that are practical, comfortable, high-quality, and can be worn in a variety of ways.I’ve said it a lot but not enough Sézane Fall Collection. Some of them are more dressy and formal than the utilitarian pieces I find in my everyday life, but there are plenty of pieces that have a more casual vibe as well (or a mix of the two, even better).

My favorite pieces from the fall collection tend to be more preppy, with a sophisticated, casual feel that’s both chic and comfortable. It’s all about a mix of casual and tailored pieces, classic colors, clean lines, and patterns/textures (think tartan, corduroy, etc.).

Here are some of my favorite preppy styles from their fall collection, along with some tips on how to style them.

Fall preppy favorites

sweater

In addition to sweater vests, crew neck or V-neck sweaters are also classics of preppy style. Consider layering a button underneath your sweater for an elegant look.For colors I like classic neutrals and pastels such as This Amiel ice blue sweater or charcoal gray. betty cardigan One of my favorites, the perfect combination of sweater and jacket. Louise sweater It’s the style they brought back last year (See the style here) I’m glad they did. Versatile, warm and chic, it has articulated details and micro-puff sleeves.

classic jacket

A well-fitting blazer is a must-have Michelle navy jacket Definitely my first choice (now also available in grey). weir jacket A perfect quilted utilitarian style jacket, especially for autumn with plaid jackets.You can’t go wrong with a pea coat in a classic color like this Camel Johnson coat (But stay tuned because I bet they have some more awesome styles coming out for winter).

This corduroy button More like a shirt, but thick enough to be worn as a light jacket over a T-shirt or tank top.

loafers and boots

For a classic fall shoe with a preppy feel, you can’t go wrong with low-heeled suede booties, such as jules boots. I love these boots because they are so comfortable and I can’t do anything with a heel higher than 2 inches anymore! Andre loafers Also a chic choice.

Bottoms

Sézane straight-leg jeans, Brut sexy denim It’s 100% organic cotton stiff denim with an ankle-length inseam. It gets better every time you wear it! I bought a size large, which I suggested would be more comfortable. trousers It’s a knit wide-leg style that’s so comfortable and chic (I have last year’s version).

Bags and accessories

I like to keep my accessories simple. For preppy style, a chic scarf On your bag, in your hair or around your neck, discreet jewelry, and a classic leather bagcanvas or straw handbag.

Some preppy style tips

Layering is key

• Start by choosing a crisp button-up shirt or a lightweight sweater as your base layer.
• Wear a sweater vest over your shirt or a jacket over a light-colored sweater.

Combine patterns and textures

• Embrace traditional preppy patterns like checks, stripes, and plaids.
• Incorporate textured fabrics like tweed, herringbone, or corduroy into your outfits to add depth.

classic work color Palette

• Stick to a classic color palette like navy, white, grey, earthy tones or pastel tones.
• Fall colors like crimson, mustard, and hunter green are great choices for fall.

Eventually, you can create your own preppy style. I love the practicality and casual elements that combine with tailored and polished pieces. It’s all about making it fit your wardrobe and lifestyle. Comfort, ease and quality are key!
