What actually makes an outfit feel like fall?

We're finally starting to feel a little coolness here, which got me thinking about what really gives an outfit that autumn feel.

Is it the colours? Moving away from lighter shades and leaning towards more muted, earthy tones like burgundy, brown, olive, and charcoal?

Or is it the textures? Knitwear, suede, heavier fabrics, and layering that make an outfit feel more suited to the season?

Living here, we rarely get the kind of cold weather that calls for very heavy coats. A leather jacket, for instance, can easily work throughout the winter as well.

But I think that's part of what makes fall so enjoyable when it comes to men's style. You get more room to experiment with textures, colours, and combinations without having to dress for extreme cold.

Personally, fall has always been my favourite season for putting outfits together. There's just something about the overall look and feel of autumn dressing that I enjoy more than any other season.

I'm curious, what makes an outfit feel like fall to you? Is it the colours, the fabrics, the layering, or perhaps a combination of all three?
