11 Polished Fall Outfits to Copy

I'm a fashion editor, so it's important that I have plenty of chic outfits for events where I'm representing Who What Wear, not to mention myself. After all, if my job is to help people get dressed, I shouldn't be going around wearing the opposite of what I suggest to others. Still, there are some days when even I get stumped looking at my wardrobe. Fortunately, I've built my Instagram follow list into an endless source of outfit inspiration—a place where I know I can go to get ideas for what to wear. Ahead of fall, I turned to those accounts, saving looks to reference the next time my mind goes blank before an occasion that calls for something sophisticated and praise-worthy.

Because I hate when people gatekeep, I thought I'd spread the love by sharing 11 of my favorite polished fall outfits that I plan to copy as we move through October, November, and early December. There are pencil-skirt looks, as well as dressy ways to wear jeans. Basically, this is the ultimate guide to fall outfits—elegant edition. Keep scrolling to see (and save) them all. Plus, there are easy ways to shop for each one, just in case your closet is not yet stocked with the essentials you need to re-create them all.
