October in Atlanta is a month for fashion.
It all kicks off with Atlanta Fashion Week Oct. 1-4, followed by the Atlanta Apparel market Oct. 6-9, ushering out the lightweight simplicity of summer and welcoming in the layered looks of fall. Although we often focus on the perfect chunky sweater or ’90s-fit jeans, pivot your attention to jackets, boots and scarves instead. Refine your wardrobe with these five items because sometimes, the outerwear is the outfit.
Sofia Cashmere Leopard Scarf ($295)
Animal print is here to stay this season and can be worked into your wardrobe in a few inspired ways. One approach is with this leopard-print, 100% luxe cashmere scarf from Sofia Cashmere. It’s flowy and lightweight, allowing for a wide array of draping options, such as the standard scarf, a head scarf or hood. The scarf is 38-by-80 inches and also comes in a light caramel shade.

Journee Sonnet Boot ($79.99)
They say boots are made for walking, and that’s especially true for fall activities. Journee is bringing back the 2000s with their slouch inspired Sonnet boot. The draped silhouette is faux leather and comes in a variety of autumn shades. The 3-inch covered heel and pointed toe bring sturdiness and timelessness to the stylish shoe.
