A fun wardrobe has a good mix of staples and statements. Balance is key though! Too many staple pieces and you risk the chance of feeling bored with your wardrobe and missing out on some fall fashion fun, but too many statements and you spend the season looking “trendy” and like you just picked an outfit out at the store without putting your own personal twist on it!
The right pieces will also give your wardrobe more mileage and versatility because you’ve upped your mixing and matching potential! Here are some ways you can mix and match different statement and staple pieces for fall to have some fun this season!

You can hardly go a day in fall without seeing something plaid and/or a flannel…fall staple for sure! But seeing leather pants every day is not as common, which is why I think they fall under “statement”. Worn together, they add an edgy twist to your fall look, so you can be just a little different than everyone else wearing flannels this season!
Cheetah/leopard print is eye-catching and is a fun print to add to plaid!

Animal print two ways! This print is always hot, hot, hot this time of year and it’s a trend I love jumping on, even though I secretly consider it a neutral! For those that are a little unsure, or just want to tone it down, pairing it with basic/staple pieces like a denim jacket and a sweater will surely do the trick!

Whether you want to look dressed up or casual, dark wash jeans have your back! You can get different looks by pairing them with basic booties or bold, vibrant ones. Both looks rock, it just depends on what you’re going for! And never, ever has a striped top failed me.

One of my favorite fall staples, a striped tee, is showing its versatility by looking sweet and simple with jeans and booties, or edgy and stylish with leather pants and a utility jacket. The green acts as a neutral, making this something you have to have in your wardrobe this season!
