I love neutrals. I always have. And I most likely always will. Which is a good thing because I also like being well-dressed, but have a very limited budget when it comes to fashion. Neutrals are great because they tend to be more classic, and can usually be worn for several seasons.
I made a few outerwear purchases recently that satisfied my recent obsession with all things camel and light gray. Because my budget is tight, I had to get creative and find pieces that would look classic, chic, and not too trendy.
These two coats and two cardigans are among my favorite pieces this season, and will allow me to wear my favorite blanket scarves.
This light gray Zara sweater coat (CAD $69.90) is super soft and low maintenance. I find that light gray jackets and coats can easily give off a robe vibe, so I'm always careful to pair them with big scarves or more structured pieces. This one holds its shape very well and is perfect for the transition into cooler weather. Here, similar.
This is a Winners find and I am unfortunately unable to link it so I've found a couple of options here and here that are both less than $50 - but they are everywhere this season. I've always loved open front cardigans. I think they are so chic to lounge in, and so convenient when you need layers.
I had been wanting a camel / beige coat but I wasn't sure I could pull it off, so this classic double breasted soft-feel version was the perfect choice at $99.90. It goes with everything and makes me feel instantly put together.
I bought this $50 Zara open-front cardigan in the summer for an easy layer to wear on chilly mornings and I have gotten so many compliments whenever I wore it. It is a bit more structured than a regular sweater and the draping and the trim make it look chic despite being such a simple, comfortable piece. I couldn't find this exact one, but this one and this one are similar.
Are you going for neutrals or color this fall?
