Trendy NYC Fall Outfits 2025: Cool, Cozy & Street-Chic Looks for the Season
Fall is not only about pumpkin lattes or walks in the Central Park when it kisses the concrete of New York City. It is about fashion changeover- when the coolness of the air hits us and we put on a jacket but we do it as though it were a form of art. What makes an outfit feel effortless yet deeply intentional? Which silhouettes are whispering “wear me” in 2025? And how do we find that balance between comfort in cool weather and the brashness of the city?
This article is a step-by-step guide to actual, wearable looks this season, some of which I have already done, some of which I cannot wait to do. We will discuss fabrics, layers and that something that makes you get double takes on 6th Ave. You will get essential pieces that you can re-style time and again, as well as fashion forward details that are literally plucked off the best dressed sidewalks this season.

Elevated Leather Meets Cozy Texture
A rich brown leather jacket has something sharp about it. Particularly when it is worn with a mini black skirt, knee-high boots and a white ribbed knit. This appearance is all about contrast, soft vs. structured, skin vs. coverage, and it works completely. The white background leaves the silhouette as the focal point and the textures say everything.
This kind of leather jacket is a must-have in any fall wardrobe. It adds edge without trying too hard. The knit turtleneck is practical and comfortable yet surprisingly luxurious with the appropriate balance of color and scale. Mini skirts and tall boots? Still going strong for fall 2025. If you’ve been hesitant about the combo—don’t be. You can always layer with tights as temps drop.
Frankly, this is one of those outfits that makes me feel like myself, a bit daring, a bit traditional, a bit do not touch my playlist. I had something similar last October and it went seamlessly between day errands and late dinner without any hesitation. Bonus: It photographs so well.
Should I add anything here, I would perhaps add a chunky knit scarf to the mix or a structured crossbody with gold hardware. But even as is? Chef’s kiss.
Classic Neutrals, But Make It Powerfully Sleek
So, let us discuss that classic combination: camel coat, black turtleneck, and boots. This ensemble goes one step further with sheer tights, mini-length drama and gold hoop earrings that reflect light in the right way. The coat doesn’t scream for attention—it commands it, quietly.
It is no coincidence that all the big editors at NYFW are in some form of this. A well-constructed camel jacket is a piece that you will wear over the years. Turtlenecks are back in fashion, particularly when they are slim and fitted as in this case. Add in opaque tights or sheer ones depending on your mood, and you’re golden (literally, if you accessorize well).
I remember seeing a version of this on the streets of SoHo last November and thinking, “This is it.” Polished but not precious, sharp but still comfortable. Fashion director Lisa Aiken once stated, when in doubt, go tonal, and this outfit is the evidence that it always works.
I would wear this with a silk neck scarf or perhaps trade the mini in favor of tailored shorts when you are inside. Either way, this outfit’s energy is pure quiet confidence.
Soft Luxe with Streetwise Attitude
One moment of appreciation to that unexpected trio of satin skirt, knit sweater and a leather biker jacket. Add fresh white sneakers and a mini quilted bag? We have a Paris cafe, downtown cool look. It’s “don’t underestimate me” energy, dressed in satin.
The key players here are strong basics with personality. The silk skirt is so pretty to walk in and it takes light in the most becoming manner. Paired with a neutral knit, it keeps things grounded. And the leather jacket? It’s got that slightly oversized cut that feels intentional, not borrowed.
To be honest, I was never a big fan of sneakers with skirts, until I did it on a brunch run last fall. Now I swear by it. It provides you with the convenience of movement, but with a perfect dose of a chill-girl look. Plus, comfort never goes out of style.
Want to elevate this for date night? Switch to kitten-heeled boots and add a red lip. Leave the rest untouched.
Minimalist Comfort with a Hint of Drama
This expression says, I know what I am doing, and it does not even have to say anything. The large black puffer, the charcoal wide-leg trousers, the ribbed white turtleneck, and the big sneakers are subtle and strong. It’s normcore, elevated.
The puffer is the point here, being structured and high-volume, it has fun with proportion. The wide-leg pants are making a huge comeback and they balance out the entire look. The turtleneck has a ribbed texture, which is enough to make the look interesting but not too much.
This is what I would wear on a Monday when I want to look presentable but feel like I am being hugged. It is the best way to give editor off duty. And, a fantastic lesson that black and grey do not have to be dull, particularly when combined with textures.
I could add a couple of slim silver hoops, or even replace a belt bag in a more contemporary way. However, in truth, this is one of those put-on-and-go outfits that do all the work.
Bold Layering with Vintage Chic Vibes
This last outfit goes to another level of layering: chocolate brown puffer jacket, scarf around the head in a vintage style, wide-leg jeans, and loafers. It’s giving “Uptown goes downtown” with a side of old-school glam.
The color palette is rich and dimensional. The puffer jacket is slanting towards that warm, teddy bear brown that is everywhere this season. The headscarf, which is worn nearly as a headwrap, brings a retro vibe that is refreshingly cool, Audrey Hepburn meets Lower East Side. The wide-leg trousers and loafers make the outfit more grounded with a touch of masculine vibe, which makes the headscarf even more impressive.
I was unsure that I could get away with this type of scarf when I attempted it in October. But paired with oversized sunglasses and a cozy puffer? It just works. Recently Harper Bazaar featured headscarves as the unexpected hero of fall layering and I could not agree more.
I would add a small crossbody bag underneath the jacket or a couple of chunky rings to complete it. However, even in its current state, it is an experience of a time capsule of style, albeit a 2025 one.
The City Sleek Look That Handles Cold Like a Boss
Not all fall days are about posing, they are about keeping warm but not losing cool. This ensemble is the perfect combination of those two: a long camel coat over a black hoodie, combined with cuffed joggers and chunky combat boots. Add oversized sunnies and a structured leather clutch, and suddenly, “practical” becomes editorial.
That camel overcoat is the workhorse that every fall closet needs. It puts everything under it, and the black hoodie gives it a perfect urban touch. I adore it when an individual goes out on a limb and uses a tone-on-tone foundation layer and allows the coat to tell the story. Combat boots here aren’t just a stylistic choice—they’re your best friend during NYC’s slushy sidewalk days.
I was dressed more or less like this when an early freak snowfall hit in late October, and I tell you I felt invincible and fashionable. It made me think of what Kendall Jenner would wear when she is getting coffee in Tribeca.
The only thing I would change about this style would be to perhaps include a knit beanie or small stud earrings sticking out of a low bun. It’s one of those “Don’t overthink it—just go” kind of outfits.
Denim Days Meet Power Coats
Floor-length wool coat over denim is one of my favorite combinations when the crisp weather arrives, and there is a reason why it never goes out of fashion. In this case, we have that energy in full force: oversized charcoal gray coat, slouchy jeans, white tee, and cherry red pointed pumps. It is providing don t confuse comfort with bad taste.
Now, let us discuss the basics: the coat provides all the drama, whereas the tee balances everything. Blue denim is a neutral in this combination, however, that color at the shoe level? Genius. The sunglasses add order to the face and the black bag completes the whole picture.
I never fail to say that when you are wearing a minimal outfit, there must be one thing that breaks the rhythm. In my case, red heels have been my trick over the years. I have even changed my sneakers into crimson kitten heels at the last moment, and everyone thought that I had done it all on purpose. (I hadn’t.)
This outfit could also easily handle a sleek bun or bold lipstick if you’re running straight to an event after errands. Classic, clever, and totally fall 2025.
Paris Street Style, NYC Energy
It is a casual yet very well put together outfit: an oversized trench, mid-wash jeans, a gray knit, and a baseball cap with the word Paris written in big block letters. It is where Euro street style and American sportswear meet and the atmosphere is 100 percent downtown cool.
The trench is what makes the entire ensemble chic- it is slouchy and oversized in the most flattering manner. Jeans are a bit cuffed, revealing gray vintage sneakers that make the things comfortable and wearable. Under it is a ribbed turtleneck, not tight, not too thick. It is the type of ensemble I would wear on a casual walk in Nolita or going to the Sunday market.
This appearance makes me think of what a stylist Alyssa Coscarelli once stated: “Your outfit must be like a representation of your attitude that day.” This one reads lowkey artsy, unbothered, perhaps even on my third oat milk latte.
I would also add a sleek tote or a vintage shoulder bag to it in case I were to remix it a little. However, even in this form, this is the best fall layering.
Retro Rich Girl Fall
We’re officially in cozy-core territory. This ensemble is soft glamorous with a faux fur striped jacket, silky gray headscarf, light-wash denim, and comfortable moccasin boots. It’s got that quiet-luxury, old-money vibe with a Gen Z twist.
The moment here is that jacket, it is fluffy, full and not ashamed of being warm. The headscarf is knotted in the right way so that it frames the sunglasses, and the entire palette is creamy and harmonious. I adore the way the jeans provide it with structure so it is not too precious to wear.
This is a type of look that I would reserve when I have a cold morning and I want to feel fancy and warm. Frankly, I had a scarf like this one last winter and it made me feel like an extra in a Nancy Meyers film. It makes even the most ordinary errands feel cinematic.
I’d love to see this styled with a pair of vintage gloves or a glossy nude lip. It’s rich energy without trying too hard.
Fall Girl-Off-Duty Done Right
Sweater weather is a thing, and this outfit will show you that you do not need to go all out to look like you have made an effort to dress. A trimmed oatmeal knit, high-waisted black denim, Adidas sneakers, gold hoops, and dark sunglasses, this is the energy of downtown on the weekend, no doubt.
The sweater is the thing that holds it all together, it is warm, neutral, and cropped just right to be flattering but not fussy. Black jeans add contrast and structure, while the classic sneakers keep things moving (literally). I have always thought that a pair of hoops can make even the most casual look better- and this is the evidence.
I could imagine myself having coffee in this, lunching with a friend, or even going to a gallery opening wearing a trench over it. It is the type of appearance that means, I care, but not too much.
What would I tweak? Perhaps a crossbody bag rather than a top-handle, just to have the hands free. But honestly, it’s giving 10/10 comfort and confidence.
Smart Layering with a Splash of Personality
There are mornings when you need a good cup of coffee and a good outerwear game. This ensemble hits the nail on both heads: a dark chocolate overcoat, powder-blue button-up shirt, light-wash wide-leg jeans, and cool-girl sneakers. The surprise? A daring leopard-print tote that completes the whole picture.
It has something vintage about a clean shirt and a tailored coat, yet it is the tote that makes it current. Leopard is a neutral in 2025 in a nutshell- it gives depth without dominating. I adore that the sneakers make this down-to-earth and something that can be worn. It’s the kind of look you wear to your neighborhood café when you still want to feel stylish but chill.
I also owned a coat in a slightly warmer brown and whenever I wore it with jeans and sneakers, people would think I had made such an effort with my outfit. In reality, it’s all about color and proportion.
I wouldn’t change a thing here. It’s practical, punchy, and perfect for fall.
Modern Monochrome with a Hint of Edge
Gray on gray is your best friend when you are in doubt. This appearance works in the grayscale on purpose: a dark brown leather jacket over a mid-gray knit, straight gray jeans, and a structured black clutch. There is a little bit of peek-a-boo with pointed black patent boots.
The knit on the rougher leather is a clever combination-comfort and attitude. And those jeans? The ideal washed-out grey that does not feel dated and provides a 90s reference. This ensemble is a lesson in how to be subtle yet high-end. Frankly speaking, it is perfect to wear to gallery openings, informal dinners, or that one Thursday when you feel like dressing up just because you want to.
A quick tip from celebrity stylist Maeve Reilly that stuck with me: “If you want to play with neutrals, always vary the texture.” That’s what makes this look pop without even trying.
Would I add anything? Maybe some fine silver rings or a sleek bun. However, on the whole, this is wearable quiet luxury.
Academic Layers Meet Off-Duty Comfort
This may be the formula of being smart and stylish. A timeless trench coat, a light denim, a white button-up, and a cropped gray cardigan on top. The brown leather handbag and oversized sunnies give the right amount of polish.
I think of this outfit on one of those days in fall when it is cool, but not cold, when you need layers, but you do not want anything heavy. The wide-leg jeans add some casualness, and the layered cardigan adds that intellectual but make it street vibe.
I have dressed up in similar ways when I am working in cafes or when I am doing errands in uptown. It is laid back yet polished, which is what I want mid-season.
You can easily change this to loafers or even ballet flats to give it a softer appearance but the sneakers keeps it down to earth. Honestly? Add a red lip and you’re brunch-ready.
Dark Neutrals with a Bold Pop
A black foundation with a tailored jacket and thick white sneakers is not a novelty, but add an emerald green scarf to it? Suddenly it’s a whole fashion statement. This appearance shows that color does not have to scream to be heard.
The coat is long and straight, which adds structure to the entire silhouette. The scarf, in color and volume, is the best way to break the darkness. The entire look receives a contemporary, unpredictable touch with white chunky sneakers.
I did something similar last winter with a plum colored scarf and was shocked at how that one accessory altered the whole tone. Small accents of color in a dark ensemble add an immediate interest.
Not so sure how to wear bold colors? Start with accessories, scarves, gloves, hats. Low risk, high reward.
Soft Cream Layers with Cozy Appeal
There is something so serene about this ensemble, ivory wool coat, oversized scarf, casual blue denim, chestnut UGG-style boots, and a small brown designer bag. This is quiet luxury dressed for weekend errands.
What is so beautiful about this outfit is that everything appears soft, in color and in texture. The warm cream color of the coat is indulgent but not showy and the scarf gives it even more depth and warmth. Light denim makes it all less serious, casual and wearable.
Honestly, this feels like the kind of outfit you’d see in a Pinterest board titled “European Autumn.” But it is equally beautiful in NYC- particularly on those days when you want to romanticize your life a little.
Would I tweak anything? Perhaps change those boots with sleek white sneakers in case it is warmer. But other than that, this look is timeless.
All-Black, But Never Basic
This appearance is evidence that black-on-black does not imply camouflaging. A long coat is structured, the top is high-necked, and the trousers are wide-legged, all combined easily, with classic Adidas sneakers and transparent glasses. It’s refined, a little sporty, and totally contemporary.
All is in its place, the turtleneck is tucked in to balance out the volume of the trousers, and the sneakers give the look a downtown vibe. The coat adds the drama, yet it is the glasses that add the subtle touch of the overall aesthetic. Think Carrie Bradshaw meets Brooklyn creative director.
I personally have gone even more monochrome this year, as it saves time and makes everything feel purposeful. Black-on-black does not have to be cruel, when it is tailored and layered correctly it is a platform of confidence.
Add a slicked ponytail or a red lip and this look would get you through a team brainstorm to late cocktails.
Coffee Tones with a Warm Vintage Vibe
Fall palettes in 2025 are dominated by chocolate and caramel shades, and this look is the best representation of it. Cocoa wool coat, deep brown turtleneck, and rich indigo jeans, all combined with a warm cup of coffee in the hand. It’s giving nostalgia, but cleaner and more current.
Each piece here feels familiar but elevated. The sounds are down to earth and grounding- just what you need on a cold fall morning. The belt gives a minor polish point and the waves in her hair make it soft. To be honest, it is like wearing a PSL but in wearable form.
I observed this palette in Greenpoint, where I went last fall, in coats, cafes, even homeware stores. It is a tone on tone trend that makes everyone look a bit more expensive.
I wouldn’t add a thing. Perhaps a suede cross body bag only when you are going out all day.
Street Smart Sporty with a Side of Sass
When you mix soft athleisure and big fashion energy, what do you get? What you have is olive cargo pants, a white crop top, and a green bomber-style jacket made of silk. Paired with Nike kicks and a micro shoulder bag, it’s the “don’t mess with me, I’m late to Pilates” look.
This is what I call “layered utility.” The pants are loose but structured, which is rare. The crop top is providing a casual yet confident look and the forest green jacket is providing the sheen without being too much. Sneakers anchor everything with comfort.
Personally, I live in such outfits when I have nothing planned to do, perhaps a breakfast date, followed by a showroom visit, and then some errands. It’s chill but curated, which is what most of us want on our busiest days.
Want to push it further? Try trading out a metallic cross body or red sunglasses for a little something.
Downtown Classic with a Throwback Twist
This is a combination of retro trench power and clean streetwear. The brown coat with a suede texture is over a simple white T-shirt and broad blue jeans with a spacious chocolate bag and vintage Adidas sneakers. It’s cool without needing to be trendy.
The coat is what makes this work, it is not overdoing it. It just is. Layered over denim and a tee, it’s an easy combo we’ve seen before, but this time it’s updated with bold frames and statement accessories.
I had something quite similar to a casual dinner in Dumbo last October and I felt like I was in a 90s fashion campaign. It has strength in fragments that are lived-in yet luxurious.
To take this a little bit edgier, add a deep brown lipstick or gold earrings. Otherwise, it’s a solid everyday win.
Charcoal Layers with Subtle Elegance
This is another example of why the long gray coat is a fall hero. This one is worn with a soft white turtleneck, washed black jeans and suede ankle boots. Minimalist, cozy, and incredibly wearable.
The contrast here is the thing that works, the freshness of the white ground against the coziness of the gray coat. The soft ankle boots provide a modern, tonal finish, and the jeans bring it back to earth. It’s clean, simple, and impossible to mess up.
I can imagine this being my workhorse to client dinners, informal art gallery walks or even a late Sunday brunch. It’s not flashy, but it makes a quiet statement.
You can add a thin gold chain or even a camel crossbody to have some tonal play but honestly? This one’s already speaking clearly.
Back-to-Basics, But Make It Street Chic
It is a silent form of cool to wear the most classic combo and do it right. This outfit combines a slouchy black overcoat and a high-neck black top, light-wash jeans, and comfy tan platform UGGs. It has an authority dose in the form of the chunky black handbag and sharp sunglasses.
Here the coat takes the center stage; it is just oversized, a bit androgynous, and completely wearable. The tucked-in black top is minimal and sleek and the UGGs add some playfulness and coziness to it. It is that combination of sensible coziness and model-off-duty that makes NYC fall fashion what it is.
I have grabbed this combo more than once on a freezing day when I want to feel cute, but I cannot handle heels. The boots provide you with a lift, yet your toes are not cold-win-win.
My optional cherry on top would be a layered chain necklace or lipstick in burnt rose.
Soft Luxe + Legs For Days
The one thing that 2025 has clarified is that oversized outerwear with mini bottoms is here to stay. This camel wool coat is combined with sheer tights, black leather mini and knee-high patent boots. Throw in some dainty rings, a luxe handbag and red gloss? You’re unstoppable.
This ensemble is similar to that one friend who seems to have it together but insists that she simply threw something on. It has a coat to give it structure, tights to polish it and the mini skirt to make it modern. Black and camel is one of my favorite color duos—it’s timeless, but never boring.
I have worn such a silhouette once when going on a date to a museum and felt comfortable and confident. Fashion stylist Monica Rose never fails to focus on silhouette contrast- and this outfit is an ideal game of that.
Do it with a thick gold ear cuff or replace the bag with a baguette under your arm to make the mood even higher.
Brooklyn Classic with a Beanie Twist
Could there be anything more NYC than a black on black layered outfit with a beanie and a coffee in hand? This outfit is a mix of a big coat, black turtleneck, washed charcoal jeans, and chunky boots. It’s the urban uniform—but softer, cozier, more you.
It is providing DUMBO mornings, it is providing I journal before 9 AM. But what I love most is the wearability. It does not attempt to reinvent anything, but it just gets proportions and layering right. The wide-leg jeans peeking under the coat add softness. The beanie tones down the drama.
I wear such looks on cloudy days when I need to feel embraced by my clothes. Nothing fussy, just warm and lowkey chic.
Wear a red beanie or a striking tote in case you wish to add a surprise.
Short Cut Neutrals That Still Feel Elevated
This cut cocoa coat is what fall ought to be, warm, contemporary and re-styleable. In this case it is layered on top of black trousers and a black base and black sunglasses and a mini backpack to complete the urban-savvy look.
The cut of the coat is what makes this pop. A little too big, a bit boxy-it alters the impression of the whole outfit. It tells me that I understand what tailoring is, but also I did not think too much about this. The neutral colors make it classy and the all black foundation makes it simple to replicate with items you already have.
To be honest, I would wear this to brunch or even running into a meeting. It hits that elusive balance between soft and structured.
This would bring up this look with a chocolate-colored lipstick or matte nails.
Old School Layers With a 2025 Remix
Now this? This is what I call academic cool. A brown leather jacket cropped over a white button-down that is tucked into some high-waisted black pants. The shoes are heavy-soled and daring and the translucent amber frames provide character.
This is a vintage-y look that is super current at the same time. I think it’s the mix of strict classics (white shirt, black trousers) with modern touches like the playful sunglasses and puffed-out leather jacket. In case Carolyn Bessette and a streetwear influencer had a fashion baby- it would be this.
I have a version of this, which I wore to a press preview last year, and I felt immediately confident. It is simply that crisp collar with a bold layer that never fails.
Would I tweak it? Perhaps only a statement ring or change the bag with a colourful one. Otherwise, it’s perfection.
Effortless All-Black Tailoring with a Twist
Wearing an all-black outfit does not necessarily mean being boring, but it can be a lesson in quiet luxury. A customized black overcoat, fluid wide-leg trousers, and a mock-neck top are combined into a sleek silhouette that is minimal and powerful at the same time. It is very modern because of the use of clean lines. White sneakers add a casual vibe without losing the polish, which is why it is one of the best translations of trendy nyc fall outfits – fashion ideas 2025.
What I actually adore is the fact that everything is just the right size, not too big to the extent of drowning, and not too small to resemble corporate attire. The black belt gives structure and the long coat drapes beautifully over structured pants. The sneakers have a rounded edge that adds softness to a linear appearance.
The first time I spotted this outfit, I imagined the weather in NYC, the changeable weather, how can you be warm enough to go on the subway and cool enough to have brunch on a rooftop? This look nails it. It is very cinematic and it makes me think of the type of outfit you wear when you do not have to make an effort, but you still attract attention.
I would only add one here: a bit of texture. You may accessorize a black beanie with a suede crossbody, a sick ribbed beanie or sand some contrast in with a sharp monochrome.
Chocolate Layers for Uptown Days
Brown is so comforting in the fall, it is like putting a cup of hot cocoa on yourself. The outfit is focused on a clean camel coat with a ribbed turtleneck sweater, and it is completed with timeless indigo denim. The depth of the textures is truly impressive: wool, knit, denim, all of the pieces have movement and depth.
Each garment holds its own, but works beautifully together. The sharp lapels on the coat shape the shoulders and make the eye go up, and the high-rise jeans keep it classic and down to earth. It is a day-night uniform that does not shout to be heard, yet it does.
I wore something like this to go on a Sunday stroll in Central Park and received three compliments before I even got to my favorite bagel place. It is the type of outfit, welcoming and sophisticated, as though you are prepared to read in a bookstore or drink wine on a rooftop.
At least, a little silk scarf in rust or wine color would further enhance the neckline.
Olive Green Urban Cool
Olive green overshirt, Khaki trousers, and a cropped white tank are a combination that seems quite unusual but fresh. It is a down-to-earth yet sophisticated color scheme, the style that can be worn to a coffee shop in the morning and to a gallery in the late afternoon. It is just the right combination of tomboyish and smooth femininity.
What sells me here is the fabric. The trousers are loosely fitted so that they swish with every step, and the tank is crisp enough to provide the top half with form. Throw in those white clunky sneakers and black angular sunnies and now it is saying It Girl on the run.
Olive green has always been underestimated, in my opinion, it is one of those colors that suits all skin tones but does not demand attention. Such a stratified neutral narrative turns dressing into a matter of taste rather than fashion.
A canvas tote or soft leather pouch would provide a little bit of texture without breaking the balance.
Denim and Espresso in Motion
There is nothing better than the comfort of a deep brown trench and the ease of light-wash jeans. It is the new definition of downtown casual: slouchy and sleek in equal parts. What makes it sing? The tailored coat, the over-sized tote and the casual Adidas sneakers- a clash between utility and style.
The key to pulling off this look is proportions. The trench is long and fluid, the jeans relaxed, not too wide and the tee peeking out adds a clean crisp break. It’s smart layering without looking like you tried too hard.
Frankly, it makes me think of rainy Saturday mornings in Brooklyn, when you want to feel warm, yet to have brunch with friends and perhaps do some window shopping. The coffee cup isn’t an accessory, it’s an essential.
Perhaps a striped sock or a gold earring would add a little more character to the entire package. It’s almost perfect as is.
Cool Greys with Stone-Cold Confidence
A grey wool overcoat, stonewashed jeans and ankle boots is a classic combination that shouts I know what I am doing. It is not only a nice fall outfit, but also a cold weather staple that makes walking through Midtown wind tunnels a little more stylish.
There’s elegance in restraint here. The lapels of the coat are over-sized but not too much, the cropped boots elongate the leg and the black crossbody gives a practical but refined touch. No frills, just clean layers and strong tailoring.
This takes me back to the type of attire that makes you look serious in meetings- but also makes you look good when you are making dinner reservations later. It’s serious but not severe, soft but structured.
The only thing I would add to this is a touch of surprise color, perhaps a beanie in a wine hue or a contrasting deep teal scarf.
