I, like most Seattleites, love fall fashion. I firmly believe “the more layers, the better,” and I constantly strive to look as cute as possible while being as comfortable (and warm) as possible. 

When prioritizing comfort–and being subjected to a never-ending grey, sunless sky–it’s easy to get stuck in a sartorial rut consisting of neutral colors, loose and “safe” silhouettes, and a general lack of panache. But wait, fellow Seattleites! Rain does not have to inhibit your stylish selves! Just take note from these local stores and boutiques. There are simple ways to revamp your fall wardrobe, and odds are you can recreate at least one of these looks with your current closet.

Take a peak, get inspired, and spice up your wardrobe just like your pumpkin-flavored lattes and treats.
