Roomy pants work in every season, but paired with a shacket, they make the perfect fall outfit. Navy blue wide-leg trousers are a great base, and with a tan leather shacket, they create contrast while still veering on the neutral side.

Snake and crocodile prints are right on trend with fall's biggest trends. A shacket in a softer shade, like butter yellow, can temper a more daring pattern while still allowing the print to speak for itself.
