Last week, Forbes released its annual list of the top 10 fashion industry influencers. Between them, these fashion bloggers/vloggers/budding fashion designers/creators of scintillating #sponcon have amassed over 23,227,025 Instagram followers, 1,971,954 Twitter followers, 4,013,710 Facebook likes and 2,305,111 YouTube subscribers, bringing their total reach to (approximately) 31,750,000 viewers like you.
The fairly diverse set includes two plus-size bloggers (Gabi Gregg and Nicolette Mason of Premme), one male blogger (Bryan Yambao) and five people of color (Gregg, Yambao, YouTuber Jenn Im, bloggers Susie Lau and Aimee Song). And while it’s a truth universally acknowledged that influencers’ feeds often end up looking surprisingly homogenous (see: the 20 items they’re all wearing right now), these top-tier fashion individuals each have a style and a voice all of their own.
…And are thus founts of fall outfit ideas. So, to celebrate their achievements and the arrival of leather weather, we parsed through their feeds, rounding up 20 #important, seasonally apropos styling tips (two per fashion influencer). Absorb them all in the gallery above.

Fall Outfits From Top Fashion Influencers

1. Danielle Bernstein of WeWoreWhat
The red boot craze is going nowhere. Emphasize your statement with a matching nautical-inspired cap and color-void jumpsuit.

Fall Outfits From Top Fashion Influencers #2
Step 1: Pair a deconstructed polka dot shirt with neutral paper-bag waist pants. Step 2: Belt your bottoms the 2017 way. (Fasten your belt such that the excess tail hangs to the left; tuck the said material behind the nearest section of belt, pulling/flattening it so that the end hangs at a 90-degree angle.)

2. Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam
Pick a prairie-inspired maxi dress in an autumnal shade/pattern, pair it with slouchy, knee-length cinnamon boots.

Keep it classic. Layer a princess-sleeved sweater over a close-fitting button down; finish things off with skinny jeans and loafers. To add edge to your look, opt for louder patterns, shirts with exaggerated collars and destroyed denim.

3. Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad
A center-zip leather skirt, patterned fishnet tights, sleek kitten heel booties and logoed designer knit make for a fun textural outfit. But the main takeaway is that you should invest in a vintage Fendi statement piece stat.

Fall Outfits From Top Fashion Influencers #6
Per the Spring 2018 runways, the no-pants movement is holding strong. Rather than pairing a casual hoodie with tonal over-the-knee boots, opt for a pseudo-professional shirtdress/blazer combo. Dress it down with shiny red thigh-grazers and a fuzzy (Fendi) bag.

4. Gabi Gregg
Take Gregg's M.O. and run with it: Leave the house half-naked. Pair a sheer top with high-waisted bottoms and a hard-edged jacket. (If you're not partial to leather, a check power blazer is a strong alternative.)

Style a sweet, ruffle-accented floral dress with a badass (faux) leather jacket. That is all.

5. Susie Lau of Style Bubble
Trends to try now: tie-dye, jeans with a perplexing amount of excess fabric, quilted outerwear. Wear 'em all at once! (So long as they're done in coordinating colors.)

Fall Outfits From Top Fashion Influencers #12
Marble print has transposed itself from your cellphone case to your outerwear. Style it with a silvery standalone hood and platinum Nike Vapormaxes, get yourself to the nearest historic fountain, take a killer street style snap.

6. Nicolette Mason
Stripes are one of the few things in fashion that are truly timeless. This season, wear 'em head-to-toe. (Note: vertical may be the stripe direction du jour, but you really can't go wrong either way.) Also, a stole will instantly glam up any outfit — though we prefer the thrown-over-one-shoulder look to the princess wrap, TBH.

Pearl accents FTW. Pair them with monochrome looks to enhance their 3D effect. (We're loving this jacket and this beret from Zara.)

7. Leandra Medine of Man Repeller
Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber and Leandra Medine are out to prove that cheetah print is a neutral. We're convinced. (Note: it pairs especially well with red.)

Fall Outfits From Top Fashion Influencers #16
Coordinating prints in contrasting colors make for a chic optical illusion. Also, no need to retire your summery accessories. When the temperatures drop, cling to seasonless vestiges of warmth (straw bags, fruit earrings) hard as you can.

9. Aimee Song of Song of Style
The 70s are trending hard. Channel the decade's style in raw-hem flares, burnt-orange turtlenecks and amber-tinted shades. (P.S. Here's an affordable teddy coat from Zara.)
