You've pulled on your jeans, zipped up your top, stepped into your boots, and swiped on some lip balm. Just a final once-over in the mirror before heading into the glorious fall weather, and — wait! Something's definitely missing. But what? Figuring out how to finish your fall look can be tricky, especially when it's basically the season of endless layers, textures, and fits. Whether you're wearing fitted moto jackets, billowy blouses, or floral prints, there are plenty of different ways to give your outfit that last extra something. So what's going to be your final touch?
We've partnered with Marshalls to show you just some of the many ways you can cinch your fall look when you venture into a store that not only has racks of clothes to choose from, but tons of fun accessories as well. Love jeans and simple tops? Add a cool statement bag and sunglasses tinted with warm autumnal hues. If polished dresses are more your thing, edge them up a bit with metallic headphones and a phone case to match. No matter which one of your fall looks you feel could use another layer, discovering great fall style at an amazing value means there's always room for a final accessory or two.
Update The Everyday With Color & Shine

Jeans and button-downs will always be classic, which actually makes them perfect items to update with finishing touches. The pairing's easy look is ideal to contrast against bold details, like a bright bag and mirrored sunglasses from your favorite designer. The bucket bag's high-luster blue revs up the everyday outfit for a high-low fall look that's anything but ordinary.
Turn To Tech, And Hit All The Right Notes

Turn up your look with an accessory that literally has a volume button. Regardless of whether you're headed to the office or out for drinks, headphones are always a cool last-minute add — one that'll have you dancing all the way to your destination. Don't forget your phone case doubles as functional fashion, too, and you can coordinate it with your headphones for an even bigger pop.
Want Alt-Office Vibes? Go Boho

If your usual work look is getting too repetitive for you, or if it just needs an extra oomph, shake things up by going the boho route. Do it in the details — a silky hair accessory or belt from your go-to brand — to keep the look buttoned up enough for work but still full of your own personal style.
Level Up With Heels

While color-block flats are definitely a great choice for running around the city, we can't deny that there's something exciting about pulling on a designer heel. You feel electric from the ground up. Add an animal print into the mix, and your steps are basically lightening. Double-down on the wild details with a faux fur tote, and you're golden in lace — whether you're dressing it up or down.
Flip The Script On Post-Work Gear

You spent the day at work, but you're ready to kick back with friends at your favorite neighborhood café. Embrace the comfy side, and slide into a racing-stripe bomber jacket from your favorite line that makes your floral print dress bloom even brighter. Trade flats for ankle booties, and you're out the door!
