5 Fall 2025 Style Trends You’ll Be Wearing

Arielle Charnas · September 23, 2025 · Leave a Comment

Fall always feels like a reset. The air shifts, layering comes back, and outfits suddenly feel more intentional. This season, a few standout trends are everywhere. The best part? They’re wearable, not intimidating.

Here are the five fall 2025 style trends to try out:

1. Bohemian Layers

Think flowing blouses, embroidered jackets, and maxi skirts that feel effortless but styled. Add layered jewelry or a wide belt to keep the look grounded. It’s relaxed, easy to move in, and adds just the right amount of polish.

2. Knits Reimagined

Knits aren’t just cozy anymore—they’re the main event. Knit dresses, cardigan coats, and textured sweaters are everywhere. The trick is pairing them with non-knit pieces like leather boots or a structured bag so the outfit feels balanced, not bulky.

3. Animal Prints (Zebra Is Back)

Leopard has been around forever, but zebra is the print to watch this season. Try it in a skirt, blazer, or even a bag. Keep the rest of your look simple—one bold print piece does all the talking.

4. Plaid & Chcks

Plaid skirts and checked trousers are giving strong academic energy, but they don’t have to feel buttoned-up. I like them styled with sneakers, oversized outerwear, or a slouchy knit to keep things relaxed.

5. Rich Earth Tones

Chocolate brown, camel, and warm neutrals are dominating right now. These shades are easy to work into coats, boots, or even your everyday basics. They’re timeless but feel especially fresh this fall.

How to Wear Them

Stick to one standout trend piece per outfit.
Play with textures to keep your look interesting.
Let simple staples (a clean white tee, neutral boots) ground the trend pieces.

Fall is the best time to experiment, but you don’t have to overhaul your closet. Try one or two of these style moves and see how they fit into what you already own.

7 Simple Ways to Wear Fringe This Fall

Arielle Charnas · August 26, 2025 · Leave a Comment

Fringe is everywhere this season—from the runways to everyday street style. The best part? You don’t have to go full-on Western to make it work. With the right styling, fringe feels modern, wearable, and even polished.

Here are seven easy ways to wear fringe this fall.

1. Let the Jacket Do the Talking

A fringe jacket instantly elevates jeans and a tee. Keep the rest simple: neutral basics, a sleek bag, and boots. It’s an easy formula for errands, school drop-off, or brunch.

2. Try a Fringe Skirt for Movement

Midi and mini fringe skirts are trending because they add texture without being too loud. Pair one with a fitted knit or cropped sweater. The key is balancing the volume so the skirt is the standout.

3. Add Texture with Accessories

If you’re not ready for full-on fringe, start small. A fringed crossbody or clutch adds just enough texture to elevate an outfit. Try it with denim and a white top for an effortless fall look.

4. Knits with a Twist

Fringe-trimmed sweaters and cardigans are everywhere this season. They’re playful but cozy, making them perfect for fall layering. Style them with straight-leg jeans or a simple skirt so the fringe detail feels intentional, not overwhelming.

5. Night-Out Fringe

For evening, fringe dresses and minis do all the work. Keep accessories minimal and choose sleek heels—this way the fringe is the focus. A look like this photographs beautifully, so it’s perfect for a night out.

6. Statement Boots

Fringe boots are making a comeback. Whether knee-high or ankle length, they pair best with tucked-in jeans or midi skirts that let the fringe peek through. They add movement and a little personality to an otherwise simple outfit.

7. Keep It Balanced

The biggest styling tip: one fringe piece per outfit. If you’re wearing a fringe skirt, keep your top clean. If you have fringe boots, skip the fringe jacket. This keeps the look styled and polished instead of costume-y.

Final Word

Fringe is one of fall 2025’s most wearable trends when styled with restraint. Whether you start with a jacket, a bag, or boots, the key is to let fringe shine on its own.

The Only Summer Accessories You Actually Need

Arielle Charnas · July 24, 2025 · Leave a Comment

When it’s hot out, the last thing you want is an overcomplicated outfit. That’s where accessories come in—they’re the finishing touches that make your basics feel styled, pulled together, and intentional.

Arielle Charnas’s July Collages and July Looks boards on LTK are full of elevated staples, breezy dresses, and easy layers. But what makes the outfits stand out is the accessories she uses again and again.

If you’re looking to refresh your summer wardrobe without overhauling your closet, start here. These are the only accessories you really need this season, according to Arielle Charnas.

1. Woven Bags That Go With Everything

Whether it’s a structured tote or a slouchy mini, woven bags are the ultimate summer carry-all. They add texture and warmth to any outfit, and Arielle uses them in a variety of looks—from floral slip dresses to neutral loungewear.

These bags pair effortlessly with white, cream, and blush, but they also ground brighter pieces like printed sundresses and colorful stripes. The natural material feels seasonally appropriate and instantly gives your outfit a relaxed but styled vibe.

Try styling one with:

A white tank and pleated shorts
A bright midi dress and neutral slides
Your favorite swim set and oversized button-down

2. Sculptural Earrings That Make the Outfit

If you’re skipping heavy makeup or over-the-top outfits in the heat, statement earrings are your best friend. Arielle’s July boards feature oversized gold hoops, twisted metals, and abstract shapes—accessories that do the work for you.

What makes them great is how easily they dress up basics. A simple knit dress, linen pants, or cotton romper suddenly feels polished with a bold earring.

Pro tip: Keep the rest of your jewelry minimal. These earrings shine best when they’re the focus.

3. Neutral Sandals You’ll Wear All Summer

Arielle leans into understated sandals in shades like beige, white, tan, and ivory. The simplicity is key—these are shoes that work across your whole wardrobe, whether you’re wearing wide-leg trousers or a tiered sundress.

She favors clean silhouettes, including:

Strappy white heeled sandals
Flat slides with a minimal design
Nude sandals with slight texture or stitching

Because they’re not trend-heavy, they’ll carry you through multiple summers. And since they go with everything, you won’t spend time overthinking your outfit.

4. Bold Sunglasses for Instant Cool

Nothing finishes a summer outfit like a great pair of sunglasses. From oversized tortoiseshell frames to retro round lenses, Arielle’s collection proves that shades are more than just practical. They’re a key part of the look.

Some favorites spotted on her LTK boards:

Green-lens aviators with striped sets
Chunky black frames with all-white outfits
Angular square sunglasses with sleek black swim

They’re an easy way to add edge, contrast, or a little color to a neutral base. Even better? They pull everything together in under five seconds.

Keep It Simple, Make It Stylish

Arielle Charnas’s July styling approach is proof that you don’t need a million accessories—just a few thoughtful ones. Woven bags, sculptural earrings, neutral sandals, and bold sunglasses show up again and again in her looks, and for good reason. They’re versatile, elevated, and easy to wear.

How to Style Yourself This June (Inspired by Arielle Charnas’s Latest LTK Picks)

Arielle Charnas · June 26, 2025 · Leave a Comment

Looking for a summer style reset? Arielle Charnas’s June Collages and June Looks boards are full of breezy, elevated pieces that make it easy to feel polished without overthinking your outfit.

This month’s edit is all about balance: soft structure, easy layering, and thoughtful accessories. Here’s how to take inspiration from her June picks and turn them into everyday looks:

1. Build Your Look Around a Neutral Base

White, cream, black, and khaki are the starting point for most of Arielle’s June outfits. These pieces are clean and versatile—and they make getting dressed so much faster. Use a neutral base to ground your look and keep things cohesive.

Try this combo:

A white tank tucked into tailored beige shorts
Strappy white heels or flat leather sandals
Gold hoops and a top-handle bag
Optional: Add an oversized shirt or blazer for cooler moments

With the right base, you can repeat the same outfit formula in endless ways.

2. Add Texture, Not Bulk

Instead of layering heavy pieces, bring dimension through fabric. Textured knits, crochet tops, lace details, and open-weave sweaters add depth to your look without overheating you.

Style tip:

Swap your standard tee for a light crochet tank
Pair it with a cotton mini or linen trousers
Finish with a sleek ponytail and neutral slides

These textures photograph beautifully and make even the simplest outfits feel considered.

3. Balance Casual and Chic

Mix relaxed items with elevated staples for that cool, undone vibe. If you’re wearing slouchy shorts, pair them with a crisp button-down. If your pants are dressy, offset them with a cropped tee or a fitted tank.

Try this look:

White boxer shorts with a structured button-up
Woven slides and tortoiseshell sunglasses
A polished tote or crossbody bag

The key is to keep the silhouette loose but intentional—never sloppy.

4. Embrace a Statement Piece (But Only One)

One standout item is all you need to turn a basic outfit into a conversation starter. Arielle’s June edit includes bold earrings, printed skirts, and sculptural bags—but they’re always balanced with something simple.

Style formula:

Base: Neutral tank and denim cutoffs
Statement: Leopard slingbacks, a bright bag, or an oversized cuff
Finish: Low bun, soft makeup, and clean lines elsewhere

Let your statement piece breathe by keeping the rest of the look pared down.

5. Layer Lightly for Real Life

Even in summer, layering matters. Whether it’s early mornings, beach breezes, or unexpected AC blasts, you’ll want something you can throw on without ruining your outfit. Look for light knits, linen shirts, or sheer cardigans that feel intentional, not like an afterthought.

Style it with:

Dresses: Layer an open-knit pullover or linen button-down
Shorts: Add a draped blazer or cropped sweater
Swimwear: Throw on a gauzy top or wide-cut shirt for errands

These layers don’t just add warmth—they add style.

6. Keep It Comfortable

Comfort doesn’t have to mean casual. The trick is choosing elevated pieces that feel good to wear: soft knits, stretchy fabrics, breathable cottons, and walkable shoes. Arielle’s edit features bodysuits that move with you, elastic-waist trousers, and block-heel sandals that work all day.

Go-to outfit:

Ribbed bodysuit with wide-leg trousers
Low-heeled mules and bold earrings
Crossbody bag or mini tote
Optional: Add a blazer if the day calls for it

When you feel good in what you’re wearing, it shows.

Whether you’re packing for vacation, dressing for the office, or just want to make getting ready easier, these styling tips offer endless possibilities. Follow Arielle Charnas on TikTok for my style tips and inspo.

What Real Women Wear for Morning Drop-Off (Inspired by Arielle’s Followers)

Arielle Charnas · May 30, 2025 · Leave a Comment

Morning routines are rarely picture-perfect. Between breakfast messes, school runs, and early meetings, getting dressed often takes a backseat. But that doesn’t mean style has to fall off the radar. Inspired by Arielle’s recent Substack post about morning style, we’re spotlighting what real women actually wear during the chaos of morning drop-off—and how they make it look effortlessly cool.

Here’s a curated list of easy, elevated outfit ideas straight from Arielle Charnas’s community. These looks prove that comfort and style can go hand-in-hand—even with five minutes to spare.

1. Leggings and a Crop Tee (aka Sleep-to-Street)

Some followers swear by the ultimate time-saver: wearing your outfit to bed. A cute crop tee and soft leggings double as sleepwear and drop-off gear. Just throw on sneakers, grab your keys, and you’re out the door.

Style it: Add a zip-up hoodie or oversized shacket to make it feel more intentional. Sunglasses optional—but highly encouraged.

2. The Coordinated Sweat Set

Still a go-to. Coordinated sweats feel a little more polished than random layers, but just as comfortable. Several readers mentioned this combo as their default on non-workout days.

Style it: Choose matching tones for top and bottom, then break it up with a bold sneaker or structured tote.

3. Track Shorts and a Boxy Tee

Ideal for warmer months, breathable track shorts paired with a relaxed tee is a practical uniform for moms on the move. It’s lightweight, unfussy, and easy to wear.

Style it: Add a baseball cap, denim jacket, or crossbody bag for a quick upgrade.

4. The Always-On Activewear Look

For those who work out post-drop-off, sleek leggings and a standout sports bra or sweatshirt is the uniform. It’s functional, flattering, and fits right into the rest of your day.

Style it: Choose a pop of color in your top or sneakers to give the look some personality.

5. Oversized Layers + Sunnies

When in doubt, go big. Oversized sweatshirts, denim jackets, or long coats paired with leggings or joggers create an easy, styled silhouette. Bonus: they hide everything underneath when you’re not ready to be seen.

Style it: Top it off with statement sunglasses to pull the whole look together.

6. Summer Tennis Dresses and Sets

Some followers are leaning into simple one-and-done pieces like tennis dresses or matching shorts-and-tank sets. These make getting dressed fast and leave room to play with accessories.

Style it: Try layering with a cropped sweater or adding a clean white sneaker for a minimal finish.

7. Drop-Off, But Make It Fun

A few responses highlighted the impact of adding just one statement item—funky sneakers, a vintage denim jacket, or a bold baseball cap—to basic loungewear. These personal touches elevate the simplest outfits.

Style it: Start with your go-to base (leggings + tee) and switch up the outer layer or accessories to keep it interesting.

Conclusion

Need a reset for your own morning style? Let this list be your inspiration. Whether you’re throwing on sweats, planning a capsule wardrobe, or building a mood around the weather, there’s no “wrong” way to show up.
