Easy Barrel Jeans Outfit for Fall

There are many reasons why I love the Fall season: the landscape colors, the freedom to layer clothes and be more creative, and the texture variety. Fall is that season when you can mix different textures in different hues to create stand-out outfits. And yes, this is mostly done with clothes and shoes, but let's not forget handbags. In Autumn, textures such as suede, leather, fur, sequins, tweed, velvet, corduroy take centerstage in fashion, from jackets to boots to handbags. And lately, suede textures have been trending for purses. Whether it's a slouchy tote or a small bucket bag, suede has been dominating in the handbag department. I am a fan of suede, and I especially like it when it's mixed with smooth leather. So of course, when I spotted the Coach Tabby in Maple Shadow Brown, I knew I had to add it to my purse collection.

A Versatile Classic with Modern Edge

The Coach Tabby 26 features a soft structured design and classic silhouette making it the perfect everyday bag. I love the adjustable chain strap that makes it easy to wear as a shoulder bag, a cross-body bag, or a handbag. This is a bag that can easily transition from office workwear to night-out events or even casual weekend errands. 

The Perfect Blend of Fall Colors

You can't spell Fall without brown so seeing how this piece blended different shades of brown with a hint of black was a total selling point for me. I also love that the bag incorporates the texture of the moment: suede. That makes it such a great match for brown suede boots, dark brown leather boots, or even black loafers. The color play is one that will effortlessly bring maximum Fall feels to any outfit. And it can go for other seasons as well — think Winter, Summer and Spring — if you prefer neutral and brown tones for your handbags.

The Quilting Details

I've said it but have to say it again: I love texture, not only when different materials are juxtaposed, but also dimensional texture that can be felt. And that's why I love the Coach Tabby in the quilted version. It oozes a Chanel-like classic aura that makes a statement without being too flashy. It's for sure a way to showcase your fashion peculiarity and penchant for refined details.

How to Style the Coach Tabby 26

For a casual take, wear the Coach Tabby bag with a denim dress and boots. 

For more of a statement outfit, I paired printed wide-leg pants with a statement bandage jacket and my Coach Tabby. I like that the outfit is full of details and texture without being overwhelming (at least for me!)

The Coach Tabby also pairs well with blue jeans outfits. Here I wore it with ankle-length wide-leg jeans, a longline brown jacket and snakeprint boots. Another outfit that is rich in detail, structure, and Fall vibes. I wore this for a coffee date with my husband and some downtown errands.

Now for workwear with an edgy twist, you could go for printed pants (someone likes to repeat their outfits!) with a cropped leather trench jacket and the Coach Tabby. 

When in doubt, I like to go for a monochrome color palette such as this black-brown one. I paired seamed jeans with a lace-up sweater and chunky accessories for an easy yet distinctive look. The Coach Tabby was the perfect finishing touch to spice up the monochrome vibe.

Leopard is in this Fall. Again. But really, has leopard ever not been in? The way I see it, leopard is a classic print, up there with the polka dots and the stripes. It's one of those prints that can skew classic or lean more edgy, depending on how it's rendered. When done in neutral tones and smaller patterns, leopard gives off a timeless and classic vibe. We've seen this done with knit cardigans, silk skirts, dresses, hair-on leather pumps, purses and more. Leopard has also been done more boldly, in creative hues such as blue, and with larger patterns — giving the print a more unconventional, edgy spin. This Fall, the fashion trend gravitates towards the more classic and neutral leopard patterns. From scarves to boots to clutch bags, leopard is finding its way into the season's fits. To really bring out your wild side, opt for a more prominent piece such as a leopard maxi dress, or a leopard pants-and-top set. If you prefer to infuse the trend in small doses in your outfits, then opt for shoes and accessories. Here are some easy tips for adding a little roar to your Fall wardrobe.

1. Go for a Leopard Scarf

You're always going to need a silk scarf. It's a surefire way to elevate a look and add some French chic to your vibe. And if you're shopping for a silk scarf this season, go with a leopard one for a trendy touch. This brown pleated skirt and red graphic sweatshirt outfit balances edge with chic allure thanks to the leopard scarf. I wore it as a neckerchief to play up the sweater's crew neck, coordinate with the brown tones, and add some pattern to the color-blocked look.

For a night-out outfit, wear your leopard scarf as an exxagerated neck tie over a white fitted top paired with a sequin skirt and silky bomber jacket.

2. Wear Leopard Shoes

Who doesn't love leopard shoes? They are such a snazzy alternative to the typical beige neutrals and bring some serious edge to an outfit. Whether it's boots, pumps, or the trendy ballet flats, a little animal print will put some pep in your step and make you feel extra confident. For an easy yet out-of-the-ordinary office outfit, I wore extra wide-leg pants with a bodysuit and a cropped leather jacket. I finished the look with a pair of high-heel leopard booties from Stuart Weitzman. I've had those for 14 years y'all! If this isn't proof that leopard is always in, I don't know what is! I was going for a polished vibe in neutral hues and I love how a little leopard action really elevated the outfit.

3. Try a leopard top

Mesh has been having a moment. I don't love it in everything but definitely like a good basic mesh top such as the one I wore in this outfit. I paired dark brown wide-leg jeans with a cropped oversized leather jacket for a cool, urban fit. The leopard mock neck mesh top makes this look more interesting and plays well with the dark and light brown color theme. To spice up the look even more, I went for my Tomoli Briffani Jut leather handbag in red.

4. Grab a Leopard Bag

Sometimes, you just gotta let the accessories to do the work. And the best times to take this approach is when you opt for a simple outfit such as this one with wide-leg jeans and an oversized shirt layered with a leather vest. This is an easy neutral look that creates the perfect backdrop for a statement bag. I went for a large leopard clutch bag to dial up the modern and effortless vibe.
