Fall in LOVE with Cowl Necks, Navy, Cords, and Stripes.

It may not feel like it but fall is approaching! Here at Out There Outfitters we are really excited about all of our new Fall '15 lines. While all our brands offer unique and interesting pieces there are also some reoccurring trends.

Look #1. Sarah is wearing Sorel Out N About Leather Boots, Patagonia Fitted Corduroy Pants, and a Toad and Co Profundo Pullover.
Sarah in Look #1
We anticipate Sorel boots to be a hot commodity again this season so come early before they sell out. You could easily make this outfit more appropriate for the early fall temps with a few simple tweaks, such as white pants or cuffing the cords and adding some Birkenstocks. Corduroy pants are certainly seen across the board. White or cream colored cords seem to be trending but also fun colors like green and blue can be spotted too. The Vineyard Vines 5 Pocket Cords are slightly cropped, making them the perfect early fall choice with sandals or ballet flats, which later can be tucked into boots. Finally, notice Sarah's top. The cowl neck is a popular feature on tops from many brands. This top also combines the stripe trend with the cowl neck making it a favorite female staff pick.

Sarah can easily transition from work to drinks on the Ave. Her outfit is both functional as well as fashionable. We at OTO think that is a win win! Her leggings have chic lines, her cotton shirt is made slightly more dressy with a collar and v-neck, and finally her vest is not purely athletic as it has some fun silver zippers and large but not puffy baffling. Also the vest is a beautiful slate color with black and silver details making it very versatile. Vests are always a great addition to any outfit during the early fall.

Look #3. Sarah is wearing the Olukai Kapa Moe Boots, Prana Trinity Cords, the Kuhl Vega Long Sleeve Henley, and The North Face's Caroluna Jacket.

Olukai shoes are incredibly comfortable and stylish. If you have not tried a pair on--you must! Kuhl is a brand new line here at OTO and we have been extremely pleased with the customer response. It is a brand that we believe to be of higher caliber and we are excited to see how it fairs throughout the rest of the season. Again, Sarah is wearing corduroys--this time they are the cream Prana Trinity Cord which has an excellent fit with a bit of stretch. Finally, the Caroluna Jacket is a marvelous transition piece for fall as it is a bit longer to give you more coverage as the nights grow chilly but it is not too heavy either. Also notice the Caroluna's navy color makes it a classy neutral that is a great alternative to black this season.
