“My biggest fall style tip is to get yourself an assortment of waist purses and always opt for a matching set,” the style blogger shared. “I love this Fashion To Figure two-piece look because it not only gives me the most bang for my buck, but gives me a total Rihanna vibe. Don’t be afraid to stand out in a crowd!”

“Animal prints for fall is a major must!” Styles revealed. “Add a pop of neon or even mix and match different prints together. Have fun with it!”
Alex Michael May – @thealexmichaelmay
“I feel like unexpected layers are such a missed opportunity,” May said. “So like adding a shirt under a slip dress or like a button-up over a jacket which is something I haven’t played with a ton but I am excited to experiment with this fall.”
Kelly Augustine – @kellyaugustineb
“Do whatever you want,” the New Yorker advised. “It’s ok to wear things that make you look bulky or if you want to wear a crop top with jeans go for it! You are beautiful the way you are, so rock what you got.”
Callie Thorpe – @calliethorpe
“The thing I tell everyone to get is a moto jacket because they literally go with everything and it is my favorite thing,” Thorpe shared. “You can layer them and style with everything. Of course, you can’t go wrong with the classic black but I love when you find a moto jacket that is even printed or in a bold color.”

“Layer up and don’t feel afraid of looking too big,” Rida noted. “Shed the fear of how you think you are supposed to look and wear what you want! A killer suit like the one I’m wearing here is a wardrobe must as well.”
Natalie Heig – @itsnataliemeansnice
“My fall style tip is to mix your textures and animal prints,” Heig advised. “So mix your snake with your leopard and mix your corduroy with leather. So mix and match, there is no such thing as something not matching.”
Chel – @musicbychel
“Crop jackets,” she shared when asked about her fall style tip. “I love them because they accentuate the waist and keep you warm at the same time. I am also a huge fan of DIY’ng and tailoring looks to your own personal preference. Get crafty with it.”
