Every season has its own staples. They’re the calling cards of the season, our reminder that change is in the air. We all have these pieces in our closet, or are in the midst of working to build them into our wardrobes. With fall finally here and winter very much on the way, I wanted to share some of the fall staples that I’ve been using to create casual mom outfits for the season.
As a busy mom, I don’t always have abundant time to spend standing in front of my closet trying to decide what to wear. I have to have a few go-to outfits in mind for when I only have a few minutes to throw myself together in the morning. Fall is the season of layering, which makes the process of creating outfits easy – I just select some of my favorite pieces and build them into a look. Scroll to learn more!

CASUAL MOM OUTFITS FOR FALL
Fall is a true in-between season for fashion – the days are cold, but you still experience a few slightly warmer days as well. Those are the days we all love – the days of perfect temperatures and sunshine. On those warmer days, we can show off our fall outfits without having to wear the heavy winter coats that we really aren’t ready to break out just yet. But with snow already having hit here in Philadelphia this November, we all know that we have a long and very cold fall and winter ahead.
This season, a few of the fall staples that I have really been loving are the cozy puffer vests and stylish over the knee boots.
Let’s be honest – I love over the knee boots any time of the year, but during the fall season, stores tend to have a lot more options on display that don’t have a super high heel. I love wearing a heel just as much as the next girl, especially as a petite woman, but as a mom, I need my boots to be relatively flat or I just won’t survive through the day.
The puffer vest has also been a very hot commodity this season. Everywhere that I turn, I seem to find a different style of vest that I feel like I absolutely need to have in my closet. After quite a bit of shopping around, I finally settled on this vest from VICI that isn’t too thick, because I still want to be able to wear it underneath a coat on the days that it’s blistering cold and miserable outside.
CUTE AND CASUAL MOM OUTFITS
As a mom, it’s far too easy for me to end up in a style rut. I spend so much time thinking about my son and his needs that it can be hard to take the time to put together a cute outfit for myself. However, I know that I always feel better when I take a few minutes to put together an outfit I feel good in, which in turn puts me in a better place to take care of my son well. If you’re in a similar spot these days, I’ve got you covered. I want to share a few of my go-to cute mom outfit ideas for those days when the style block is hitting full force.
My first tip for busy moms? Build a capsule wardrobe. Capsule wardrobes will make your life so much easier as they remove a lot of the decision-making from your morning and provide you with pieces that look good together no matter how you style them. Trust me – once you start incorporating a capsule wardrobe into your own life, you’ll quickly become a believer.

REPURPOSE SUMMER PIECES
Still haven’t had a chance to pack away those warm-weather pieces? No problem – use it to your advantage! Just because you can’t pull out the denim shorts anymore doesn’t mean that you have to say goodbye to all of your summer clothes. Fall is the season of layering, so find summer pieces that can easily be layered to transition into a fall look. Make your favorite summer dress comfortable year-round with tights and a cozy cardigan, or add a long-sleeved shirt underneath your favorite short-sleeved short for a look that would make your 90’s self proud.
GO SPORTY CHIC
Athleisure clothes are always a hit, so don’t be afraid to whip them out and make them a regular part of your fall outfit rotation. After all, chasing after your little one all day is a workout in and of itself! I love investing in a few cute workout sets that I can rotate through, and that super cute pair of leggings you love can always be worn with a long-sleeved top and a sweatshirt thrown over it all for extra warmth. Pull on your favorite pair of sneakers and a beanie or a baseball cap, and add a cute pair of gold hoops for good measure. And there you go – stylish, cute, and functional. What else could you ask for as a mom?
LAYER, LAYER, LAYER!
I’ve said if already, but it bears repeating – fall is all about the layers. Lean into that as you piece together a few go-to outfits for the season. Find vests and jackets that will look great thrown over your favorite basic tops. Skirts and dresses paired with tights will always be your best friend in the autumn. Wear a thinner layer of clothing underneath your top layer so if you get too warm running around, you can peel the top layer off and still look cute. Invest in cute outerwear like hats and scarves that can also easily be taken on and off to switch up the look at a moment’s notice.
