Regardless of the weather where you are, fall is in the air! Well, it’s definitely in the shops–both online and in person, right? And fall means kick-back weekends for watching games (on tv or in person for your kids or grandkids!), cooking comfort foods, and maybe even time to read a good book. In honor of this special time of year, I am sharing two ways to style casual weekend outfits for fall.
Two styles that continue to trend are camo and varsity-style sweaters. Camo has been popular for quite a few seasons, and it now comes in lots of colors and hues, which makes it really fun. And varsity sweaters have long been a classic fall style and are flattering on everyone.
So, now for the two outfits. Grab a cup of coffee or tea and cuddle up on the sofa and read on…
Touchdown with a preppy varsity sweater outfit
For the first way to style casual weekend outfits for fall, I am showing a varsity sweater. Fall sports are in full swing–especially since they actually start at the end of summer!! And whether you’re a football, baseball, or soccer fan, or a fan of none, you can still dress the part by donning a preppy varsity sweater.

A varsity sweater is such a reminder of high school. Whether you wore one or not (or just the cheerleaders did, and they were NOT your crowd! Or maybe they were!), they continue to crop up every fall. A varsity sweater is such an easy look with a pair of jeans and some sneakers. By adding booties, the outfit makes a fall statement.
A little touch of jewelry can style your look up a notch. Here, I added tassel hoop earrings (similar here) and a lovely long necklace from Kendra Scott wrapped twice around my neck.
What could be preppier than a backpack? Love this white one! And backpacks are having a bit of a moment this fall. Not that they aren’t always a great bag in your collection.
Gray booties are my shoe of choice for this first casual weekend outfits for fall. The neutral tone of gray makes it an easy color to style with most things in your wardrobe. Mine are from last season, from LandsEnd, and they make great booties! You can see a similar, very cool, pair here. Wedges booties are very popular this season, and here is a cute pair, also in gray.
Stay relaxed in this slouchy camo top outfit
A second way to style casual weekend outfits for fall is by adding a touch of camo. How many camo clothing items do YOU own? I’ll bet you have more than you think. While I love the traditional army or olive-green camo prints, there are lots of new camo prints in a variety of fun colors. The top I’m sharing today is in shades of gray ranging from dark to light.
It has the following features, all of which say comfort:
- Fabric: Thermal knit
- Side slits
- Camo print
- Waist-length style
- Crew neck
- Long sleeves
The thermal fabric is also great for later on when the weather turns cold. A roomy sweater or coat would do the job to keep you warm. And adding a blanket scarf would give you a great winter look.
Are you a fan of the high-waisted jeans? They are a great way to cure the muffin top, just in case that might be an issue for you. It is for me! These skinny jeans in gray are perfect for fall with the higher waist and stretch fabric and they are on sale! Check them out here.
Of course, suede mules with chunky heels are a great choice as you can wear them with almost anything. This pair is older, but here is a similar pair at a decent price point.
Whew! I hope you are feeling relaxed and ready to enjoy the fall leaves and cooler weather. If it isn’t here yet, it will be soon!
Thanks for stopping by and spending time with me today.
