Looking for preppy outfits to wear this season? Check out 15 Cute Fall Preppy Outfits to Channel Your Inner Blair Waldorf.

I remember watching the series ‘Gossip Girl’ and being blown away by the girls’ outfits . Especially Blair Waldorf’s. Her outfits were to die for.

With the fall season here, I wanted to bring some of her style into my own closet. I kept asking myself, ‘What would Blair Waldorf wear in autumn?’ I pictured rich fabrics, sharp lines, and of course, a headband. Her polished preppy outfits are perfect for this season. Well, in my opinion anyway.

If you want to key into your inner Blair Waldorf this autumn, you don’t need a big budget to pull it off.

Start with layers, and finish with a few key details. Picture blazers, pleats, pearls, and loafers in rich textures and deep colors.

We’ve put together 15 cute preppy outfits that are simple to recreate. They combine classic pieces with cozy layers, so you look stylish without much effort.

So let’s get inspired by Blair’s style and make it your own.

What Are The  Preppy Pieces You Need This Fall?

Some wardrobe pieces you will need  are :

  • a tailored blazer,
  • a pleated skirt,
  • a cable-knit jumper,
  • loafers
  • a headband .

Choose wool, tweed, or corduroy for warmth, and pick fall  colours like navy, burgundy, camel, and olive.

You can pair a plaid blazer with a white shirt and jeans for a sharp look. Or wear a cable-knit with a check skirt to look neat while staying cosy.

. You also can’t go wrong with layering, especially this season. I always wear a collared shirt under a jumper, a cardigan over a blouse, and tights under a skirt. Easy Peasy.

I also opt for  quality fabrics like tweed.  It looks glam, even if it is from the high street. Try Roselinni, H&M, Mango, Uniqlo, and & Other Stories for budget-friendly finds. Vintage shops are great  for finding tweed blazers and silk scarves. I wear it with straight-leg jeans or a chunky sock with loafers.

The fabrics you choose this season are crucial for staying warm but chic. You can pair a trench or pea coat layer over blazers. Add a cherry headband or a printed scarf to make it pop.

Blazers and Cardigans

  A plaid or navy blazer is a hallmark of the preppy look. A soft cardigan is also cosy and stylish. I just layer them over my  collared shirts for that neat, schoolgirl Blair look. You can choose autumn shades like burgundy, camel, and olive for a rich look.

Two easy combos:

  • Navy blazer, striped shirt, black trousers, and loafers, topped with a pearl clip.
  • Camel cardigan, white blouse, tartan skirt, tights, and ankle boots, finished with a slim belt.

Skirts and Trousers

Go for a cute preppy look in a wool pleated skirt, even on windy days. Also, opt for slim trousers or tapered chinos for a modern preppy aesthetic.

I also add tights on chilly fall days. Try opaque black, ribbed brown, or textured tights for an eye-catching ensemble. I also add leather loafers and ankle boots for that preppy aesthetic and finish with pearl earrings, a silk scarf, and a watch.

A headband is Blair’s signature. Padded styles work. A thin velvet band often looks cleaner. Add personal flair with colours or monograms. I love adding them to my outfits, especially when I am wearing my pleated skirts.
