Three Affordable Elevated Casual Outfits for Fall That You Can Copy (Great for Teachers)

Elevated Casual Outfits for Fall Work Outfits

Huge thanks to Kohl’s and ShopStyle Collective for sponsoring this post

Is anyone else’s fall calendar full of school activities and social gatherings? It’s a busy but fun time, and today I want to share three fall outfit formulas for nicer casual outfits that you can use to get dressed through it all! I’m doing this in partnership with Kohl’s and ShopStyle Collective because Kohl’s is one of my favorite places to shop. They have SO MANY great items at super affordable prices. Plus, they have an enormous variety, from activewear to workwear to special occasion and everything in between, as well as straight, petite, and a great selection of plus sizes to take care of all your needs. I also love the ability to shop online and utilize Kohl’s in-store and curbside pickup options. On top of that, Kohl’s is currently offering 15% off from 9/16-9/25 with code ENJOY15!

Now, let’s talk about some outfit combos that you can use to look good quickly this fall!

SIZING: I’m 5’6″ and usually S/M or 6 in clothes and 8.5 to 9 in shoes. 

 

Nice Casual Outfit for Fall: black and white spotted button down long sleeve blouse + dark wash straight leg jeans + taupe suede flats + brown tote Nice Casual Outfit for Fall: black and white spotted button down long sleeve blouse + dark wash straight leg jeans + taupe suede flats + brown tote close up

1. Dark Wash Jeans + Blouse
This is such an easy formula that helps you look put together in an instant! You can do this with different washes, colors, and cuts of jeans, but when in doubt, go for a dark wash pair. It automatically looks dressed up!

If you’re in the market for affordable jeans that look polished and have stretch, this is a great pair to try! They are soft and stretchy, have a classic style, and they’re ONLY $21.24 right now! They come in 14 washes, HERE. There is a plus size option that I believe is the same, HERE. I’m wearing size 6 in the wash Eastin. They are seriously such a good buy!

This blouse is easy to wear with a loose fit, and the print and button details make it really cute while still looking polished! Find it in 9 colors in straight sizes, HERE. Find plus sizes HERE. I wear size M.

You can pair the top with jeans like I did here, or you can wear it with pants for work, like these Croft & Barrow Effortless Stretch Pull-On Pants. BTW, if you’re looking for some more work pant options, those have stretch both in the legs and the waistband, come in 5 colors, and are currently only $25.49, HERE. I wear size 6.

2. Dress + Cropped Jacket
Gotta love this combo! Throw on a cropped jacket with your favorite dress for a super easy, chic outfit!

This dress is really soft, lightweight, and comfortable and has a great color palette for fall (and spring, for that matter). It has a soft lining throughout to ensure that it’s not see-through, which is also a nice added layer for cooler-than-summer weather. Plus, it has POCKETS! It comes in 2 colors, HERE. I’m wearing size S. There’s a similar plus size option HERE.

Also, this moto jacket is a great option if you want something that’s stretchy and comfy! It’s textured, which adds some character and some visual interest to your outfits. It comes in 4 colors, HERE! I wear size S.

Shop the Outfit:
Dress: Kohl’s (exact—wearing size S)
Jacket: Kohl’s (exact—wearing size S)
Shoes: (similar, similar)
Bag: (similar, similar, similar)
Necklace: (similar, similar)

Nice Casual Outfit for Fall: clay top + brown and black small plaid blazer + dark wash straight leg jeans + brown suede loafers + brown tote bag + gold pendant necklaceNice Casual Outfit for Fall: clay top + brown and black small plaid blazer + dark wash straight leg jeans + brown suede loafers + brown tote bag + gold pendant necklace close up Nice Casual Outfit for Fall: clay top + brown and black small plaid blazer + dark wash straight leg jeans + brown suede loafers + brown tote bag + gold pendant necklace side view Nice Casual Outfit for Fall: clay top + brown and black small plaid blazer + dark wash straight leg jeans + brown tote bag + gold pendant necklace close up

3. Dark Wash Jeans + Blazer
A blazer with jeans is a classic combo, and you can give it a twist by using a plaid blazer! This plaid blazer is really SOFT and stretchy, so it’s comfy but looks put together. (You know I love clothes like that!) It’s a great piece for this fall, especially with the longer length that is modern and current. It comes in this print and 3 solid colors in straight sizes, HERE. Find it in plus sizes in 2 solid colors and this print, HERE. I’m wearing size S.

One note is that the blazer is longer and tends to swing out a bit, so if your hips are significantly wider than your shoulders, it might accentuate that. However, if your hips are balanced with your shoulders, or if your hips are narrower than your shoulders, then this might help to balance that out.

Shop the Outfit:
Top: Kohl’s (exact—wearing size S in Mocha Frosting
Blazer: Kohl’s (exact—wearing size S; plus size)
Jeans: Kohl’s (exact—wearing size 6; plus size)
Shoes: (similar)
Bag: (similar)
Necklace: (similar, similar)

These are some easy-to-follow outfit combos that you can wear this fall! If you’re looking for more great options, check out some of the options below. And be sure to use code ENJOY15 by 9/25!
