Fall weekends in Northern Michigan are meant for slow mornings, coffee runs, bonfires, and bundled-up strolls downtown. The best outfits this time of year strike the perfect balance: warm, soft, casual—and still cute enough to wear out of the house. At Après, that’s our specialty.
Whether you’re headed to the farm stand, watching football, or spending Sunday curled up at home, here’s your go-to guide for layered, lived-in fall style.
Base Layer: The Perfect Tee or Long Sleeve
Every cozy outfit starts with a great foundation, and our favorites this season are from Perfect White Tee and Sundry. They’re soft, drapey, and made to wear on repeat.
Your layering essentials:
-
Ribbed long-sleeve tops for under shackets and sweaters
-
Boxy tees (perfectly oversized without feeling sloppy)
-
Cropped tanks and tees for pairing with high-waisted joggers or sweats
Neutrals like cream, charcoal, olive, and faded black are our fall must-haves.
Sweatshirts & Matching Lounge Sets
Fall weekends basically require a comfy sweatshirt—and we have the best of the best in-store. Think Chaser, Perfect White Tee, and Sundry—soft fleece interiors, relaxed silhouettes, and graphics that feel vintage and cool.
Why we love matching sets:
- Effortless but put together
- Ideal for traveling, lounging, or layering under a jacket
- Wear as a set or mix-and-match with denim, leggings, or joggers
Shackets, Light Jackets & Layering Pieces
Because it’s Michigan, and the weather changes every 20 minutes.
Top layers we’re loving:
-
Shackets — plaid, corduroy, or fleece-lined for just-right warmth
-
Quilted jackets & utility coats for a slightly more polished look
-
Cropped puffer vests over hoodies or long sleeves for that casual outdoor feel
Throw one over your lounge set, jeans and a tee, or knit dress and you’re instantly fall-ready.
Bottoms to Live In
Comfort is the goal—but style still matters.
Our fall weekend favorites:
-
Soft joggers or wide-leg lounge pants
-
High-rise relaxed denim
-
Leggings or ribbed knit pants for curl-up-on-the-couch days
Pair them with sneakers or cozy socks and you’re out the door.
Color Palette: Autumn in Petoskey
This season is full of earthy, cozy tones:
-
Warm neutrals: oatmeal, cream, stone, charcoal
-
Seasonal hues: terracotta, cinnamon, olive, pine green, deep wine
-
Soft pastels that still work for fall: dusty blush, misty blue
These mix and layer effortlessly together—no overthinking required.
