There’s something refreshing about dressing for the new season. I’ve always admired the effortless balance between comfort and elegance, and recently, I’ve started posting my outfits consistently. While I didn’t make it to any fashion shows this season, I look forward to sharing my style and making it to others in the future.
Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite looks that embodies the perfect balance of structure and fluidity for Autumn/Winter 2024.
Outfit Breakdown: Subtle Details, Strong Impact
This look is all about understated elegance with a twist. Let’s start with the oversized beige shirt. The muted color plays perfectly into the ongoing neutral trend that has been a staple for the last few seasons. Blending elegance with functionality—exactly what you need as the cooler months approach.
What makes it stand out are the exaggerated cuffs and slightly undone collar that add a hint of relaxed sophistication. It’s structured but still gives that “borrowed from the boys” vibe, which has been a key element in 2024 autumn trends.
Layered over the shirt is a black corset belt, cinching the waist and giving the entire outfit a flattering silhouette. also aligns with the trending *corsetry* details we’ve been seeing on 2024 runways. It brings a touch of drama while staying practical, creating a flattering silhouette.
The flowy, full-length black skirt adds an effortless elegance to the outfit. Full skirts are making a huge comeback this season, offering versatility whether you’re dressing up or down. I opted for a long, sweeping hem to keep it classic, but the touch of modernity comes from the juxtaposition of this voluminous skirt with the structured top. When I found this skirt at a vintage pop-up sale, I knew she had to be mine.
To finish off the look, I went for heeled black ankle boots, a staple that blends seamlessly with the skirt and gives me just enough height. Ankle boots are a *must-have* for autumn/winter 2024—both for their comfort and the effortless edge they bring to any outfit. The slight shine of the boots complements the matte finish of the skirt, adding that extra texture contrast.
Accessories: Understated but Intentional
You’ll notice a few understated accessories that add just the right amount of flair. I’ve got a flower pinned on my shoulder bag—an unexpected touch that softens the look. Delicate, layered jewelry gives the outfit a modern, yet elegant finish. The small details like the drop earrings and necklace elevate the look without overwhelming the simplicity of the outfit.
And let’s not forget the sunglasses perched on my head! Sunglasses are a year-round accessory, and these neutral-toned frames are the perfect statement piece, ready for those fleeting autumn sun rays.
Tying into 2024 Fall/Winter Trends
This look is not only a reflection of my style but also taps into some of the top trends for autumn/winter 2024. As we shift into cooler weather, oversized, structured tops paired with corsetry-inspired details have taken center stage, offering a blend of form and function. Full skirts have also been everywhere on the runway this season, offering a refreshing alternative to the more fitted, restrictive styles of previous seasons. Neutral tones like beige and black remain timeless while staying relevant, adding warmth and versatility to any wardrobe. Finally, the concept of practical fashion—pieces that are stylish yet functional—continues to dominate, making this look not only trendy but wearable in everyday life.
This look also nods to the importance of layering during these months. The beauty of fashion in colder weather is the endless possibilities to mix textures, colors, and layers, creating outfits that are both stylish and practical.
While I may not have attended fashion week (yet), my journey into posting more consistently about my personal style has been empowering. This outfit is a perfect example of how you can take current trends and infuse them with your own creativity. As autumn moves into winter, I’m excited to continue exploring what fashion has to offer—and to share that journey with you.
Until next time,
