I've said it before and I'll say it again: fall is the best time to get dressed. It's the time of year when you can finally throw on a cozy sweater and your favorite fall boots for 24/7. Even though I'm excited, it's hard to actually put together a good fall outfit now that I'm out of practice. Plus, some of my fall essentials have been sitting in a box all summer, which is a bit tasteless. So I scoured the sale sections of J.Crew, Madewell, and Everlane to fill in the gaps in their collections and style some chic (and affordable) outfits.

I developed a 9-editor approved ensemble inspired by a set of very trendy street styles. My look includes the best fall jackets and coats, along with jeans that embrace this season's must-have denim trend. These pieces are versatile and can be mixed and matched. Get a slip dress and pair it with a v-neck sweater or button down. This season is all about mastering layering styles.

Keep scrolling to shop my top fall looks from my favorite retailers. Every outfit is under $350, so I can look cute and stay within my budget.

I always resort to a blazer and jeans combination. The oversized jacket plays with proportions while the slim jeans and white t-shirt underneath elevate the look.

Baggy jeans are everywhere this season. They look great paired with wardrobe basics such as tank tops and unbuttoned overshirts. It's an unpretentious classic outfit for transient weather.

This fall, the shirtdress is undeniably the perfect office outfit. Pair it with a classic loafer and you have a fall work outfit that will impress the boss. If you want to add some shape, accentuate with a belt.

On mornings when I don't know what to wear (or don't have time), an all-black outfit saves me. Maybe it's the New Yorker in me, but it's undeniably chic. I love pairing a leather blazer with a turtleneck for a cool-girl look. You can also add texture and a pop of color with accessories.

This outfit combination may be simple, but it is always very elegant. We recommend going with a tonal color like gray, which is one of the top trending colors for fall.

This outfit makes layering easy: a V-neck sweater, a crisp white button-down shirt, and a trendy maxi-length denim skirt will give your elementary school uniform a mature look. Knee-high boots are a bonus.

Yes, you can still wear midi skirts in the fall. Swap your usual white T-shirt for a cashmere sweater like Everlane's for a back-to-basics, cold-weather look.

On those fall days when you're in a hurry to get out the door, dress up with a coat. Trench coats are a staple for a reason. No one needs to know that you're wearing something basic, like a classic slip dress, underneath your trench coat.

In a similar vein to baggy jeans, barrel jeans are the current denim fix of the fashion crowd.
