Who says fall fashion has to play by the rules?
We're taking one of our favorite outfit formulas—cozy sweater, classic denim, and a fabulous trench—and giving it two completely different personalities.
One is rich, earthy, and effortlessly sophisticated. The other is playful, colorful, and just a little unexpected.
Meet Burgundy & Bold and Pretty in Pink. Same styling concept, two very different moods, and plenty of Hello Baabs personality!
Burgundy & Bold — A Little Vintage, A Lot of Attitude
There's something irresistible about a rich burgundy trench paired with a retro-inspired patterned sweater. It's classic fall styling with a little personality woven in.
We started with a multicolor sweater featuring warm, earthy tones and layered it over a denim button-down. The combination adds dimension without feeling overly dressed up. Relaxed cuffed jeans keep everything casual, while burgundy ankle boots and a matching trench pull the whole look together.
The best part? This outfit looks just as fabulous without the trench. The patterned sweater and denim combination can absolutely stand on its own.

Baabs Style Tip
The secret to making earthy fall outfits feel interesting? Texture! Pair soft knits and classic denim with wood-inspired jewelry, sculptural shapes, and tortoiseshell accessories. These contrasting finishes add dimension without overwhelming your outfit.
For a more casual day, skip the trench and let the patterned sweater take center stage. When you want a little extra polish, add the burgundy coat and let the accessories bring everything together.
The vibe: Vintage charm meets modern confidence.
Pretty in Pink — Color Doesn't Have a Season
Who decided pastels belong only in spring? Certainly not us!
Our second look proves that pink can be every bit as fabulous in fall.
This outfit starts with a cheerful pastel-patterned sweater layered over a denim shirt. Cuffed jeans keep the look relaxed, while pink sneakers add a playful, everyday feel.
Then comes the finishing layer: a beautiful pink trench coat that takes this outfit from cute and casual to effortlessly polished.
And just like our burgundy look, this outfit works beautifully with or without the trench.

Baabs Style Tip
Monochromatic styling doesn't mean everything has to match perfectly! Mix different shades of pink—from soft blush to brighter bubblegum—and balance them with classic denim and creamy neutrals.
For a playful daytime look, wear the sweater and sneakers with colorful rings. Want to dress things up? Add the pink trench and statement floral earrings.
And don't be afraid to mix chunky accessories with delicate details. That contrast is what makes the outfit feel personal rather than perfectly coordinated.
The vibe: Playful color meets effortless everyday style.
