Clearly, we're very into animal print for Fall. If leopard isn't your favorite, snake print is a subtler take on the trend, particularly in black and white. For an easy outfit, try your printed jacket over a white sweater, black jeans, and brown boots.

Let's be real, we all repeat our favorite pieces. When rethinking your go-to pieces — like a floral-print blouse and skinny jeans — simply shake up your accessories for a fresh-feeling outfit you can wear to work, on the weekends, or, you know, wherever you like to don denim.
