Bringing in the Fall Trends (with Lily Collins's Amazing Fashion Sense)

Fall is here and, as usual, it's bringing along some cold weather, but with fall also come Thanksgiving, Halloween, and this year's awesome fall trends. Everyone is starting to break out their fall jackets, sweaters, and jeans, and of course some girls are quite reluctant to trade their shorts in for jeans. Black is definitely a colour that seems to be appearing a lot as usual as the lighter, summery colours and fabrics make way for the neutral and autumnal tones of fall. In the picture below, Lily Collins has managed to combine 5 of my favorite fall trends into one flawless outfit.
I'll start with Lily's hair. It looks as if she's created a doughnut/sock bun. If you not familiar with a hair doughnut, it is a mesh hair accessory resembling a doughnut. You make a high ponytail and stick it through the hole in the donut, wrap it down and towards your head to secure it, creating a perfect bun every time. This buns look so sophisticated for the fall and make your outfit look very put together. Hair donuts keep the form extremely well, but if you don't want to waste your money on one you can just snip the foot off a long sock and bunch it up to create the same effect.
Moving on to the sweater. Loose turtleneck sweaters keep your neck cozy during the fall but are not so constricting that it makes you itchy. A good turtleneck can be a hard find: you want to go with something relatively thick but soft and not very woolly (because that might make you itchy over a long period of time, depending on the sensitivity of your skin). When looking for fall turtleneck sweaters I suggest going for dark and warm colours like earth tones and black (like Lily's).
Lily's coat puts together the whole outfit. Long coats are beautiful for the fall but it's the touch of leather on Lily's coat that really catches my eye. It doesn't make the outfit punkish but if anything brings a slight edge that makes the entire outfit seem more sophisticated. It definitely brings the whole outfit together. It looks great to have small hints of leather in your outfit without overdoing it.
Going on to the tall boots which unfortunately didn't really get into the picture I found. If you have been reading the blog than you know I (Virgo) love the look of tall boots over skinny jeans. This trend looks especially pretty in the fall just before the snow shows up, and you can splurge some extra cash on tall waterproof or snow boots.
Lastly, dark nail polishes like Lily's black or magenta are very beautiful in the fall. This is my opinion and I'm sure some people will disagree but I just adore dark nail polishes in the fall. Side note: I'm not sure if you guys like bright red nail polish but it looks amazing in the winter against the snow❄.
