When fall outfits are done right, they can make you look like the charming protagonist of fictional novels. Fall outfits combine some of the finest color palettes with some of the coziest fabrics, resulting in dreamy looks that make you stand out from the crowd.

But because fall outfits incorporate a lot of darker, earthier tones, they can be a little difficult to style. Fall outfits typically involve earthy browns, reds and greens, and these are all heavier colors – especially if you set out to style them in casual outfits. With casual outfits, you want to keep your look flexible, versatile and laidback.

And fall colors can often end up bringing out the opposite of that desired effect. So here are a few tips to make this simple for you – first, focus on a single color and balance it out with greys or neutrals. Do not let the options overwhelm you. And second – choose the fit of the brighter elements wisely, because they will draw most of the attention.

Casual Fall Outfits For Guys

• Outfit 1. Black Ripped Jeans + Red Sneakers + White Sneakers
• Outfit 2. Dark Grey Jeans + Black Hoodie + White Sneakers 
• Outfit 3. Light Brown Check Pattern Pants + White Quilted Sweater + White Sneakers
• Outfit 4. Black Washed Jeans + Grey Sweater + Black Boots

Outfit 1. Black Ripped Jeans + Red Sneakers + White Sneakers

The bright, carnation red sweater is the centre of attention here – and you can see how the rest of the outfit anchors the vivacity of that color. The rest of it, simple black ripped denims, neat white sneakers and minimalistic black shades, balances out the red with their dark neutral tones.

A color like this will immediately add a lot of oomph to the look, so this can be worn both as a casual outfit and as a date or movie night look. But to be on the safer side, try to go for a finer knit for the sweater so that the bright hue of it looks seamless and suave.

Outfit 2. Dark Grey Jeans + Black Hoodie + White Sneakers 

This outfit can be the mainstay of your wardrobe for years. It has three, simple, straightforward elements, each one of them a classic in their own right. You would probably already have a graphic hoodie sweatshirt in your wardrobe, but if you do not – get one in a solid color, with bold but matter-of-fact graphics.

Keep the sweatshirt fitted and comfy, and pair it with snug grey denims and simple white sneakers. The color palette for this is more on the winter side, so this might fare even better at night, although hoodies are always quite versatile.

Outfit 3. Light Brown Check Pattern Pants + White Quilted Sweater + White Sneakers

The idea behind this outfit is simple – we want to keep it fashionably laidback, and chic. Checkered trousers can be difficult to style, because the pattern draws a lot of attention and you really don’t want it to look shabby with other patterns.

You can pair a checkered trouser with a simple sweater – preferably with a rhombus knit white one, if your checkered trousers are in a darker grey shade. Keep the sneakers neat and clean, so that they match the vibe of the sweater. Since the sweater is in a simple knit, it will help balance the look.

Outfit 4. Black Washed Jeans + Grey Sweater + Black Boots

This next look may seem simplistic – but there is a degree of thought behind it. You see, grey knit sweaters look really classy, but if you are not choosing the right one, it might look like you have taken the sweatshirt from your loungewear and paired with dark denims.

The grey sweater here has a simple striped weave, and a snug fit – especially on the arms. The waistband of the sweater sits right on the denims, without disrupting the fitted silhouette of the whole look. You want to keep this whole look uncluttered, so skip the accessories for this one. Simple dark shades should do.

Outfit 5. Grey Washed Jeans + Beige Sweater + Black Sneakers

For this variation of a casual fall look, we are combining elements from the third and fourth outfit. The simple, striped weave of the white fitted sweater allows for an elegant, defined silhouette, but it isn’t too understated either, because of the striped pattern.

Stripes tend to add just the right amount of texture to an otherwise plain look. The dark denims maintain the fit of the look, and also add a moody contrast to the bright white of the sweater. You can pair this with black sneakers, with a hint of white, like the ones here.
