Fall is every fashionista’s favorite weather because the cold weather offers the perfect opportunity to layer and accessorize. For boys and girls alike, these articles of clothing are essential to a Fall/Winter wardrobe. Take note of the trendy examples by Urban Outfitters, and get ready for a season filled with fashion fun!
1. Cable-knit scarves
Scarves are a great way to dress up any outfit! Long thought of as an unfashionable, matronly piece, scarves have slowly but surely made their way into the younger markets. Opt for thicker fabrics like wool or acrylic yarn. Fall colors are olive, camel, navy, and maroon.
2. Fingerless gloves
Fingerless gloves are the accessory of the future. They eliminate the inconvenience of dowdy, heavy mittens, yet still provide the warmth and comfort of this age-old essential. Also, they enable the wearer to easily access his or her smartphone or other touchscreen device!
3. Desert boots
Desert boots are the new, exotic European import. Designed to be worn by both men and women, these boots make for a chic alternative to sneakers or slippers. Simple yet stylish, desert boots are a sure way to give any outfit a trendy touch!
4.Wool socks
Wool socks are this season’s must-have. This age-old Christmas gift from Aunt Melba has been given new life with the return of boots and other mid-calf footwear to the runway. Perfect with any style of shoe; wool socks can warm up any outfit and provide for a comfortable yet stylish foot covering.
5. Flannel shirt
A flannel shirt can be used throughout every season. Flannel is a versatile fabric that can be dressed up or down, and provides a nice layer against those cold winter days! Both boys and girls can wear this piece buttoned-up or as a light jacket.
6. Military-style jacket
At long last, military-style jackets have returned! Although they were a staple of the 80s and 90s, military jackets went out of fashion with the return of the bubble parka and knit cardigan. However, thanks to a recent revival and renewed interest in grunge fashion, military-style jackets are trendy once again! Worn with jeans or leggings; military-style jackets can give any outfit a cool, retro feel.
7. Knit sweater
The knit sweater characterized American teenage fashion during the 1950s. Although it achieved sporadic popularity during the late 80s and early 90s, it was considered not trendy (or even dowdy!) to be caught wearing one. However, knit-lovers can once again rejoice! The knit sweater has made a comeback, and it’s here to stay.
8. Beanie
Beanies can be a trendy, hip way to keep ears toasty and warm. Contrary to popular belief, beanies can be very stylish. Fitted or slouchy, they can turn a boring outfit into a funky collaboration! They can also be used to discreetly wear headphones.

Since the beginning of the 2010s, Maxi-everything has been all the rage. Maxi skirts, dresses, rompers,etc; anything that could be maxi-fied was. However, this tired look has been given new life again with the advent of winter-ready maxi dresses! Designed to be worn in cold temperatures, the newer maxi-dresses are made with more durable material and longer sleeves.
10. Leggings
For girls, black, brown, colored, or textured, leggings are a must-have! They are easily worn with any top, and provide superb comfort and warmth.
