All Saints Day comes with its own dress code. Formal and black (pop dark grey and navy are exactable, too), modest and elegant but extravagant and luxurious – remember, everyone is watching from above. Honestly, there is no holiday like All Saints Day to embrace the more is more aesthetic in fall.

For a dash of lustrous elegance that will elevate your style step into blue satin pumps. Mine are from Gianvito Rossi, but are sold out. Worry not, I found a similar pair for you. Check the product gallery below.

For an added layer of sophistication, put on a cookie camel Burberry trench coat. Btw, classic trench coats are so fashionable this season.

9 PANTSUIT WITH A BOW BLOUSE AND PONITY BALLET FLATS AND A HEADBAND

Take a cool girl approach to dressing up for the church in the fall with a wide-leg pantsuit. For Sundays, when you want a different approach to cute dressing, an oversized pantsuit will bring a whole new attitude. Just make sure you style it with a headband and bow blouse for added charm.

CASUAL CHURCH OUTFITS FALL

Yes, you can dress casual for the church in the fall. But remember, church casual is not everyday casual. Church casual for fall is like business casual but more cute and ladylike.

CLASSY FALL CHURCH WEDDING OUTFITS

Church weddings might be outdated, but you still have a wedding invitation for a church wedding in the fall. Worry not; these fall church wedding outfits will stun everyone.

13 DOUBLE BREASTED JACKET WITH TULLE SKIRT AND HEELS

As the weather cools down, it’s time to embrace more structured silhouettes and a glamorous colour palette.

Classy and glamorous, this elegant take on fall weddings at the church is an instant classic. Simply structured, a double breasted jacket paired with a tulle skirt gives a preppy appeal that will take you seamlessly from church to wedding brunch.

Airy chiffon goes fall weather appropriate with a range of golden tones. Put together to be worn with heels and a black double breasted blazer, a tulle skirt is perfect for an all-day ceremony that starts at the church at noon and ends on the dance floor early in the morning – on Sunday.

Btw, I added slightly more elevated pumps to the product gallery below, you know, just in case you are going to a tacky old money wedding. Pov, you need to dress for your part equally flamboyant as the cousins.

Also, make sure you check the entire gallery to find a fascinator. Strangely I’m not wearing one. I must have been interrupted before shooting the video and forgot to retake the video before leaving home.
