6 Striking Fall Outfits You'll Want Your Ex to See You Wearing
It’s a good day when you bump into your ex and you look and feel 100! Similar to that I'm a new-woman feeling you get when you cut and style your hair—the confidence a great hairdo or, outfit, in this case, can bring is just what you need to get you through any awkward or unexpected encounters. (It’s a small world, and it happens more often than not!) Luckily, today we’re bringing you some chic day and evening outfits—for the fall season ahead that may make you actually want to bump into an ex! From cool-girl one-shoulder tops and jeans to jaw-dropping slip dresses, scroll below for some chic outfits that will make you feel great and will transition you into the fall with ease. Get ready for compliments.
Snake-Print Skirt + Knee-High Boots + Belted Sweater
As we transition into sweater-weather, pair your fitted knit with a trending snake-print midi skirt and knee-high boots for a striking fall look. Cinch the sweater with a wide belt to create a flattering silhouette.
Shop the look:
Asymmetric Top + High-Waisted Jeans + Statement Earrings
You can only hope you bump to your ex in the bar wearing this. Asymmetric and one-shoulder tops are trending hard for fall and look chic when tucked into a straight-leg pair of jeans.
Shop the look:
Leather Dress + Sandals
Want to turn heads? A luxurious looking leather dress should do it. Luckily, the sumptuous fabric is a huge trend for fall 2019 and is easier to pull off than you think—simply pair it with minimal sandals (while it's still warm out!) to add a casual touch to the striking frock.
Shop the look:
Slip Dress
There is nothing more sensuous than a silky slip dress. Just add a leather jacket or blazer when the temps start to cool. Here's hoping you bump into your ex that night you wear it.
Shop the look:
Little Black Dress + Statement Sandals + Silk Scarf
You can never go wrong with a little black dress, but a silk scarf and statement sandals add another level of chic.
Shop the look:
Slim Jeans + Flattering Tee + Nude Heels
Don't underestimate the power of a simple pair of black jeans and a tee. The right fit is key to create a flattering silhouette. Guaranteed to have your ex drooling.
