Revolve is the e-commerce platform and clothing brand that’s taking the millennial and Gen Z fashion world by storm. Designing 18 of its own brands, and bringing together styles from designers that can’t always be found at big-name stores, Revolve clothing (started in 2003 by Mike Karanikolas & Michael Mente) has become the ultimate destination for perfect, Insta-worthy outfits. Which is why, when it comes to fall fashion picks, it’s the right place to score the season’s must-haves: boots, crossbody bags and the ultimate staple—a cozy cardigan sweater. 

When building an outfit for fall, a cardigan is often the focal point. After all, whether it’s chunky and hitting at the waist band or delicately knit and duster length, cardigans earned their spot in the fall fashion hall of fame because of the endless mix-and-match styling opportunities they provide. From open layering to buttoned up and put together, cardigans work with jeans, leggings or even shorts to create perfect seasonal looks, each and every time. 

This season, Revolve clothing has the perfect building block cardigans for fall 2021 outfits. Browse balloon sleeves and knit cardigans, open front and button-down styles in a range of colors, from pastels to greys and patterned pieces—the options are as endless as the outfits they can launch.  Add in white jeans or high-waisted shorts for an easy summer-fall transitional style, or keep it firmly in leaf-peeping territory with any kind of denim: dark or light washes, high waisted or boyfriend fit. It all works, when the cardigan’s on-point.

Cardigan sweaters are the perfect basics, which is why they demand extra-special accessories to create unique fall fashion looks. This season, boots of all rises will be crucial closet staples. Try a chunky-heeled ankle style like Revolve’s Merit Bootie. Perfect with shorts, dresses, jeans and pretty-much any hem height, ankle booties are perhaps the easiest way to transition wardrobes from summer to fall. (Or winter to spring, in a few months from now.)

Ready for deep fall vibes? Try adding inches—to the heel and the body of that boot. One style that simply screams crisp evenings out is a pair of Sam Edelman snake-skin stiletto boots. A stand out pair of shoes in neutral tones that works with jeans, leggings, skirts and more? This buy checks all the fall-fashion must-have boxes, while adding a major infusion of fun to any closet. 

As the trees shed their leaves, consider fall a time to shed unwanted items from those mega bags and scoop up a delightfully easy crossbody instead. Great against a cardigan sweater, styles like the Revolve Chain Crossbody Bag or Marc Jacobs Chain Bag are sure wins for an evening out. 

Daytime looks deserve their own, equally fabulous crossbody. Try Revolve’s Babylon Fob Bag in stand-out white. It’s got room for keys, phones and more. Plus, its cute bar handle means versatile styling options for days when clutches make more sense than a crossbody. 

Ready to build the perfect fall outfit? Try these exact blends or mix and match to create a look that’s entirely unique. 

For days when the thermostat is all over the place, pair the slouchy style of Revolve’s Pawnie Cardigan with a cute crop and high-waisted shorts. Add in chunky booties and the layering options can go from day to night or anywhere between. 

One great way to win the summer-to-fall transition is to work with heavier weights and lighter palettes. Grab the Balloon Sleeve Cardigan from Revolve Clothing, add in a wardrobe white tank top and body-skimming jeans and this outfit serves up effortless style points. 

Want an outfit that works on the job or on the go? Combine the Seasonal Cardigan with a simple white tank and dark denim. Conservative enough for any dress code, but still fresh, fun and oh-so-fall.  

Cardigans get sexy when worn solo. Try Revolve’s Essential Cardi for a deep-v neckline that’s just daring enough, and pair with light-wash, relaxed jeans to balance out those edgy vibes. 

Inevitably, the weather will turn at some point this season. So when temperatures drop, pull out pieces like Revolve’s Elise Knit Cardigan (giving a great new twist on traditional argyle.) Layer over a basic white-tee and easy black jeans and get ready to brave those near-winter days with grace.
