October Edit
Hi friends!
Happy October – objectively, the best month of the year! When the leaves start to transition to the vibrant shades of yellow, orange, and red. When the air has a crisp to it, and the temp drops to the perfect temperature for a sweater & shorts, coffee in hand, sitting on a front porch. Clearly this is my favorite month.
I have recently been on the train of romanticizing my days; obviously not every day is perfect, and this world is broken. Yet, it is fun to find joy in the little things & the pretty things, so why should my month be any different?
Welcome to the October Edit curated by What’s Em Style—a mix of fall fashion 2025 trends, cozy home ideas, and seasonal staples to inspire your everyday life.
Color Scheme for October
This month’s palette feels warm, grounded, and timeless—perfect for everything from cozy nights in to fall outfit inspiration that makes you feel put together without trying too hard.
Chocolate Brown – rich, cozy, and always chic
Taupe – the ultimate neutral layering shade
Dark Olive Green – a nod to nature and fall foliage
Denim Blue – a classic that pairs with everything
Style Staples
With October’s shift in weather, I’m leaning into versatile layers and textures that feel both functional and chic. These are my top October style staples you’ll see everywhere in fall 2025 fashion:
Denim everything. Specifically, I’m envisioning denim button down coded outfits, & Canadian tuxedos for every occasion!
Brown & taupe sweaters. Sweater season is here, and I’m especially excited to wear a rich chocolate brown sweater that is oh so cozy.
Barn jacket. A little outside of my comfort zone, but barn jackets are a fall outerwear trend I could see reappearing in future month edits.
Suede. I’m obsessed with suede right now! I recently pinned the most divine suede jacket and a green suede bucket bag that is to die for.
Parke mockneck. When I imagine myself cozy in October, I’m wearing this sweatshirt! Click here to get one to match :)
Burgundy wine nails. A short manicure in a wine-burgundy shade screams October and ties in perfectly with this year’s fall nail color trends.
Home Must Haves
And because cozy vibes don’t stop at what I’m wearing, I’ve been loving ways to bring October home decor trends into my space. These little swaps can totally transform your fall atmosphere.
Wreath sashes. A fun and simple addition to your front door that makes guests feel instantly welcomed! I’ve been embroidering lots of college football sashes this fall—fill out this form if you’d like one!
The accent color green. Not just a pillow here and there—I’m talking about a comfy green accent chair, a cozy table runner, or a tasteful comforter for your master bed.
Antelope rug. Hands down my favorite purchase this fall! It’s neutral but patterned, adding a subtle statement without overwhelming the room. [Here’s the link to mine!]
A good espresso machine. Because nothing says cozy like a homemade latte on a crisp morning. This one is a dupe for the Breville but way more budget-friendly.
Wrapping It Up
October always feels like a fresh start—the perfect blend of cozy mornings, layered outfits, and evenings spent enjoying the little things. Whether it’s slipping into a suede jacket, curling up with an espresso in hand, or styling your home with this season’s trending accents, this month is all about leaning into comfort and beauty. I hope this October Edit inspires you to embrace the best of fall style and make your home a reflection of all the warmth this season brings. Here’s to a month filled with style, joy, and plenty of cozy moments worth romanticizing.
