Cozy Fall Fashion: How to Style a Sweatshirt and Stay Stylish



I love fall, though not as much as I love summer. However, there's something special about those golden-yellow leaves falling from the trees that brings me joy, along with a bit of sadness as it reminds me that winter is just around the corner. Maybe it’s just me, but fall is a beautiful season in its own right.

While I don't decorate my home for fall, I definitely dress for it. Fall is all about cozy vibes, and I’m excited to share a simple yet stylish way to wear a sweatshirt this season while staying both warm and fashionable.






Fall Fashion Staples: Sweatshirts and Beyond

When it comes to fall outfit ideas, fashion-forward ladies know that trends change. What was hot last year might be a no-go this season, but there’s one fall fashion trend that never goes out of style: the sweatshirt. It’s a true fall wardrobe essential, and no matter how trends shift, a cozy sweatshirt remains a staple.




Personally, I’ve always wanted a grey sweatshirt because it’s just as versatile as the classic black. Whether you’re going for a casual day out or layering for those chillier fall evenings, sweatshirts are perfect. In winter, we may cover them with heavy coats or jackets, but in fall, a sweatshirt alone can be enough for warmth, especially in milder regions.

The perfect fall outfit is all about being both comfortable and stylish. That’s why I’m loving this oversized Gingerbread Bakery Christmas Sweatshirt—it's bold, cozy, and perfect for autumn.







How to Dress for Fall: Key Pieces for Layering

Fall is officially the season for sweater weather, and layering outfits is a must. Whether you’re pulling on cozy knits, neutral tones, plaid shirts, or fall jackets, there are certain fall wardrobe essentials that complete the look. Here are my top picks:

1. Sweatshirts: For that cozy fall vibe, go for oversized sweatshirts. I’m currently rocking the bold, oversized Gingerbread Bakery Sweatshirt, which is perfect for keeping me warm during my autumn adventures.

2. Rain Boots: I can't stress enough how important rain boots are—especially in Glasgow, where it rains all year round! Rain boots are an absolute fall must-have, and they’re essential for staying dry while still looking stylish in this unpredictable weather. I got mine from Tk maxx.

3. Cowboy Hat: Yes, you heard me right—a cowboy hat! It may seem unexpected, but it adds a cool, laid-back element to your fall look while offering some protection from the wind.

4. Light Layers: I’m the queen of layering, though you’d never guess how much I’ve got on! I always wear a shirt or polo under my sweatshirt to keep warm. Layering light garments underneath is key to staying comfortable without looking bulky.

5. Scarves: Scarves are another essential for fall. Not only do they add to your outfit, but they’re also great for keeping your neck warm as the temperatures drop.





Final Thoughts: Layer Up for Fall

As you prepare for all the fun fall activities—whether it’s apple picking, visiting pumpkin patches, or just enjoying the crisp autumn air—remember that layering is key to staying comfortable and stylish. Protect yourself from the cold while embracing all that fall fashion has to offer.

I wore this outfit to the Hunterian art gallary in Glasgow today! Stay tuned for a post about it soon.

  7. Autumn is my favourite season, at least it is when the weather is on its best behaviour :-)

  8. Hi Melody :)
    Great pictures!
    Melody, I, speak of autumn, I don't like this time of year. I don't like winter too. I would like, all year round to have spring and summer.
    Autumn, unfortunately, in Poland it's colder already for a week. Before 7 pm it's already dark... Leaves are falling in the trees, in a moment there will be a change of time to winter :( Speaking of measuring time to winter I think it's pointless! The change from summer time to winter time is wrong!
    Melody, I salute you!

  16. Witaj Melody. Dziękuję za pamięć o moim blogu i odwiedziny. W tym kapeluszu wyglądasz rewelacyjnie. Idealny na każdą porę roku i bardzo modny. Cała stylizacja jest super. Ja uwielbiam jesień i wiosnę. Te dwie pory roku są idealne. Złota kolorowa jesień i kwitnąca świeżością wiosna. Masz wspaniałe poczucie stylu i smaku.

  19. We don't use the word "fall" in Australia at all. We just call it autumn. I don't mind it as long as it does not rain and is not too cold and miserable. Love your Western vibes outfit.
