Gennifer Birnbach Five Fall Looks for Every Style
Fall dressing is all about the layers—and Light Layers makes it easy to add warmth without adding bulk. Think easy-to-wear pieces in rich fall colors, flattering silhouettes and textures that work beautifully together. These are the pieces you can reach for when mornings are crisp, afternoons are warmer and your outfit needs to keep up with both.
Whether you love a cozy cardigan, an artistic print or a timeless shirt, we picked five favorites for five different ways of dressing.
For a Plus-Size Figure: Teddy Boucle Cardigan
The Teddy Boucle Cardigan in Ink is cozy, textured and practically made for fall. If you’re plus-size, one easy styling trick will make this cardigan especially flattering: wear it over a longer top that extends past the hip-length hem. The longer layer creates a vertical line underneath the cardigan, drawing the eye down and creating an elongated effect.
Pair it with slim pants or leggings and let the cardigan be the cozy star of the outfit.

For a Petite Frame: Festoon V-Neck Cocoon Dress
The Festoon V-Neck Cocoon Dress in Midnight Wine is an easy one-and-done outfit with plenty of Alembika personality. The V-neckline creates an open, vertical line, while the cocoon silhouette keeps the look relaxed and comfortable. For a petite frame, keep accessories simple and let the shape of the dress do the talking.

For Someone Petite in Height: Acrobat Punto Pants
The Acrobat Punto Pants in Berry Mix are a great choice for someone petite in height who wants the ease of a relaxed pant without losing definition. The streamlined shape and rich berry tones make them easy to build an outfit around. Try them with a top in a similar color family to create a continuous line, then add a shoe that keeps the look sleek.

For the Artsy Woman: Addison Flouncy Tee
The Addison Flouncy Tee in Berry Mix is for the woman who likes her wardrobe to have a little movement—and maybe a little mischief, too. The flouncy silhouette and berry-toned color combination give this everyday piece an artistic twist. Wear it with the matching berry family of colors or contrast it with with the Teddy Boucle Cardigan in Sunflower and the Cord Harem Pocket Pants in Sand (as shown here).
It’s proof that a simple tee doesn’t have to be basic.

For the Classic Woman: Merriweather Shirt
The Merriweather Shirt in Midnight Wine is a classic button-up with an Alembika point of view. The rich wine shade makes it feel distinctly fall, while the familiar shirt silhouette gives you endless styling possibilities. Tuck it into tailored pants, wear it loose over slim trousers or layer it under a favorite cardigan.
Classic? Absolutely. Predictable? Not at all.
