November Edit
Hi friends!
It’s crazy how fast the fall is flying! I feel like once we hit the -ber months, the year feels like it's almost over… But that’s not what this blog post is about! This blog post is all about November fall fashion, Thanksgiving staples, & fall to winter transitional styling tips.
Welcome to the November Edit - curated by What’s Em Style!
The color scheme for November is giving fall transition meets New York classy (!!!). Think crisp air, navy knits, silver accents, and a hint of tortoise shell sophistication. The vibe? Effortless chic that looks like you just stepped out of a Soho coffee shop but could just as easily fit in at a cozy family dinner. Key colors for November include: navy, cream, and silver, with tortoise shell as the pattern of the month. Any combination of these tones complement one another to bring about that refined, elegant spin on fall style that doesn’t feel “too Thanksgiving.” It captures the quiet shift from fall to winter—still cozy, still chic, but with just a little more polish.
Why I Love November Style
November style makes me particularly excited because it’s such an underrated month for fashion. It’s like the calm between two holidays—the perfect pause where we can lean into our favorite classic pieces before the sparkle of December takes over. To me, November is a breath of fall fresh air — the month that feels like cashmere sweaters, silver jewelry, and candlelight. This November, I’m focusing this edit on staying true to timeless, chic fall style — back to the basics, Ralph Lauren, quiet luxury energy.
Styling Notes
When curating this Edit, I especially wanted to spotlight navy chunky sweaters, cream-on-white combinations, and subtle embroidered initials. Starting with navy sweaters — they’re the moment. You can’t go wrong with a rich navy knit that feels both structured and cozy. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t look incredible in navy — it’s universally flattering, like the denim of sweater colors. My current favorites for November are JCrew’s & Kohl’s rolled neck sweaters!
If you know me, you know I am an absolute sucker for white on white, cream on cream, and cream on white. It’s my neutral love language. I will die on the hill of wearing white after Labor Day — it’s just too chic not to. Cream-on-white gives that understated “I’m not trying too hard” look that still photographs beautifully (especially if you’re hosting or traveling for Thanksgiving). Cozy yet elevated, it’s the kind of palette that makes you feel instantly put together. My go-to sweaters right now are from JCrew, Old Navy, Quince, & Target.
Honorable mentions & additions for this month’s edit include tortoise shell accents, headbands as accessories, mini watches, navy nails, & silver shoes. Let’s unpack this – for my birthday, I received Steve Madden’s velcro fur-lined silver shoes & I am obsessed! They’re like walking on clouds — comfortable, warm, and surprisingly easy to style. I’m usually a gold jewelry girl, but there’s something about silver in November that feels refreshing — like the first frost of the season. I am a gold jewelry girl, but I am loving this pop of silver as we transition into the winter months.
Accessories Highlight
And let’s talk accessories: I’ve been loving headbands lately — they’re the perfect pre–ear muff accessory moment (we all know that season is coming). Add in a dainty mini watch or a tortoise clip, and suddenly your outfit looks ten times more intentional. And if you really want to have a little fun — navy nails. I’m telling you, a cream-on-cream outfit with a pop of deep navy polish? Kiss kiss. The perfect finishing touch to November’s classic, chic aesthetic.
There is so much more that could be said! November fashion excites me, & I hope this post made you excited & inspired for November too!! For more content on this November Edit, you can head over to my Instagram & TikTok for inspiration, and my LTK for shopping suggestions & links!
