Land romantic and effortless styling ideas at Marshalls that are perfect for date nights to come. Bold hues and plush textures are just the beginning of your perfect fall wardrobe.

1. Soft & Chic

It’s the season for cozy vibes, which means fabrics that look and feel elevated are key. Xue gravitates towards pieces that are “soft and chic,” including a vibrant plush sweater. The bright design gets a dose of shimmer from bejeweled buttons, while luxuriously silky trousers and leather kitten heels (sporting gold hardware accents) add instant glam.

“It’s the definition of dopamine dressing,” Xue observes of the look, which feels effortless and elegant all at once. When those temperatures call for layering up, you might as well take this editor’s lead, and envelop yourself in elegance.

2. Polished Prep

Fall’s academia-inspired style resurgence is an easy way to infuse a hint of sophistication into a date night or dinner party look. “Dressing for [an evening out] is all about balance,” says Xue, “like mixing a little bit of femininity with a little bit of structure.”

As the weather cools, she’s obsessing over knee-length skirts that can be styled with a dress shirt (bonus points for interesting touches, like a contrast stripe and front pocket). Over-the-shoulder varsity cable knits also top her list of fall date-night picks. Both options offer an unexpected and modern take on the prep revival.

3. Jewel Tones

Whether it’s via a deep sapphire-blue dress, emerald-green top, or ruby-red heeled boots, Xue “loves to channel the elegance — and good energy — of precious stones into an outfit.” Her current hue of choice is a deep amethyst color that screams ‘fall,’ which she’s fully embraced with a fun take on monochrome dressing.

“A silky top is my go-to and the off-the-shoulder shape with longer sleeves is flattering,” she says of the blouse, which she paired with crushed velvet pants in a similar shade. Special details, like a jewel-toned belt and the patent-leather mules, tie everything together for an of-the-moment look.

Whether your next date night calls for a cozy-cute vibe, a prep-leaning look, or jewel-toned hues, you can shop these fall essentials and more at Marshalls.
