Autumn is one of the most exciting times of the year when it comes to fashion and building outfits. It’s the season to blend couture with comfy, to play with layers without getting bulky, and most importantly, to take stock and re-stock your wardrobe. Whether your vibe is cozy and neutral or bold and vibrant, all you really need to get started are a few staple pieces to keep in your closet.
Here are some great boutique fashion stores in Northern Virginia that can help you incorporate some of this fall’s trends into your wardrobe today.
Add some layers with a vest from 3 Sisters
Layering is one of the most fun, creative, and key components of autumn style. It adds flexibility to your clothing pieces that may otherwise only be worn at certain times of the year. Maybe you’re making a short sleeve last through the fall by wearing it over something with long sleeves and adding a fun scarf. Or you may just simply be throwing on a cozy vest over a printed top to add some warmth and style. Moral of the story: the opportunities are endless. From reversible to Sherpa to buffalo plaid, 3 Sisters in Alexandria has all your vest layering needs covered. 213 King St., Alexandria
Choose a cardigan at Scout & Molly’s
Transitioning from the end of summer into chilly fall mornings can be tough sometimes. But throwing on a warm cardigan certainly makes it easier. And good news — chunky cardigans and sweaters are in this year. This is the perfect way to experiment with color as well. Choose a simple earth tone or be a bit more playful with it and find a funky orange color. Either way, you really can’t go wrong with a cardigan in the fall. Pick out the perfect cardigan to suit your style at Scout & Molly’s in Reston. 11944 Market St., Reston
