How to Wear Stripes in Fall: Outfit Ideas for Women

A striped knit outfit for late fall

Pair a cream-and-black stripe with dark denim and brown boots. Repeat one stripe color in your bag or belt, and add a solid layer if you’ll be outside after sunset.

Fall stripes are easy to style because they give a simple outfit a focal point. Start with one striped piece and pull a solid color from the pattern for the rest of the outfit.

Style a striped sweater with straight-leg jeans

Pair a cream-and-black striped sweater with dark straight-leg jeans. Add brown boots to warm up the palette, or repeat the black stripe with a black belt.

Layer a striped tee under a solid jacket

Let a striped tee show at the neckline and cuffs of a denim jacket or cardigan. A narrow stripe reads like a basic and is easy to wear with solid trousers or a denim skirt.

Take a striped midi dress into cooler weather

Wear a striped midi dress with ankle boots and an open cardigan. Pick a cardigan in one of the stripe colors so the layers feel connected.

Mix prints by changing the scale

Try a fine striped top with a larger check, using one shared color to connect them. If you want a smaller dose of pattern, swap the second print for a striped scarf or bag.
