Every fall we have a handful of events, such as fundraisers, galas, and openings, that call for attire somewhere between smart casual and dressy casual. Last week we attended our first of the season, and I wanted to share my look and fall event styles in case you have something similar on the calendar this year.
Since these typically raise awareness for a cause, I keep my outfits understated so as not to distract from the program yet elevated so I look forward to getting dressed. For me, that looks like mixing fluid pieces, like blouses and slip skirts, with tailored pieces, like trousers, blazers, and belts.
Outfit Details: Generation Love Blouse, NonChalant Pants (similar, less expensive here), Mansur Gavriel Clutch, Veronica Beard Heels, J.Crew Belt (old, similar here), Reiss Blazer (not pictured)
For this fall event look, I paired these wide-leg trousers, which are everything I want in an evening pant—high-waisted, relaxed, flattering, and pocketed—with a rusty silk blouse. Finished with a belt, heels, and clutch, it felt like just the right combination of modest, seasonal, and chic.
I started the night with this blazer from my fall wishlist over my shoulders and hardly took it off as we were right underneath a fan the entire night! You never know what the weather (or seating arrangement) will be this time of year, so a layer is a must.
See below for more picks to wear to a fall event this season. From long sleeve dresses to pants and blouses, there’s something for everyone depending on the look you want to achieve!
