I have a few primary goals when putting together a perfect outfit. Of course, I want the look to be chic and cool but also easy. I'm not fond of fussy looks that are uncomfortable and feel high-maintenance. Are you on the same page? I thought so. Well, you're going to be into what's coming your way.

I scrolled through the Instagram feeds of some of my favorite fashion people to find fall outfit inspiration. The common thread between all of them is that they feel forward and relevant but are easy, requiring just a few pieces and great accessories.

Keep scrolling to check out the coolest fall outfit ideas to try this season.

This is one of my favorite easy fall looks featuring the very-right-now country jacket over a classic white shirt and jeans. The loafers and white socks complete the vibe.

An oversize sweater is a fall essential. Consider teaming one with a classic pair of trousers and flats, and you're set.

The ensemble may appear high-concept because it's so chic, but it's actually quite easy, requiring just a few forward pieces—a thin turtleneck, a blazer, and a skirt. Perfection.

A trench coat is another no-fail fall staple and works over anything, including this look with the white shirt and trousers.

This outfit is the epitome of cool and proves, once again, that all you need is a great jacket (like this distressed leather style) topped over elevated basics to create a compliment-worthy look.
