The One Fall Essential We Could Never Live Without—and How to Style It

Though fall wardrobes include a number of pieces that accommodate the drop in temperature, the one staple my co-worker Angelica Zdzienicki and I could never brave the season without is casual outerwear. Jackets aren’t just for staying warm—they also offer us fashion girls an opportunity to experiment with layers and create fun outfit combinations. This season, we’re all about stylish athleisure, and FP Movement is the first place we thought of to start our shopping escapade. Digging through the fall arrivals, we found a range of cool outerwear like oversize puffers and colorful fleece jackets, along with matching sets, tops, bottoms, and sneakers to create looks that suit our unique style personas. The comfort and quality of each piece blew us away, so we’re sharing our favorite looks with you below.

I intend to show off my hard-earned summer tan well into fall, so this neutral outfit combination with a pop of color does the trick. The Pippa Packable Puffer Jacket has a nice oversize silhouette that makes it extra cozy, but still lightweight. I styled it with a cropped orange racerback cami and barrel-leg cotton-blend pants that give off cool-girl energy. The Merrell hiking sneakers have a cushiony, supportive fit and effortlessly round out the entire look. I’ve never felt so stylish and put-together in activewear before, and I can’t wait to wear this outfit for beach walks and coffee runs in my neighborhood.

“I’m quite picky about my outerwear—it needs to be comfortable, stylish, and functional. That’s exactly what this lightweight pullover delivers. With its cozy fabric, unique texture, and thoughtfully designed pockets, it has easily become my favorite find of the season. For this sporty look, I opted for the Happy Camper Pullover, which I can easily throw on over my favorite All Clear Solid Cami and Never Better leggings. I finished off the outfit with my trusty Hokas and some frilly socks for a touch of character. Now I’m ready for any leisurely fall activities that come my way!” — Angelica Zdzienicki, social media strategist

I’m in my Pilates era, so I’ve been brainstorming outfits that I can wear to the studio in the fall. The Hit the Slopes Fleece Jacket is the perfect layer and will keep me nice and warm when heading to and from my workout. The red colorway is a bold addition to the look, and I like how I can pop the collar to make a fun fashion statement. I wanted to style the jacket with a matching sweater set, which I’ll be shamelessly wearing very, very often this season—the relaxed silhouette makes it so easy to move around in. The Quilted Mini Case is just the right size for all my studio essentials (grip socks, keys, and wallet) and adds a cute finishing touch.

“When I came across the colorful Hit the Slopes Printed Fleece Jacket from FP Movement, I knew it was coming home with me. While I usually gravitate toward neutral tones, the bold pattern was simply irresistible—perfect for brightening up the occasional gloomy day in L.A. I paired the jacket with my favorite Never Better shorts (they’re seriously so soft, I can’t get enough), a white tee, my Hokas, and graphic tube socks for an effortless, everyday athleisure look. I will proudly repeat this ‘fit all season.” — Zdzienicki
