New England Climate in the Fall
Let’s dive into the climate you can expect and the style you should dress in to be one with New England this Fall.
There are 6 states that makeup “New England”. They are:
When I moved to New England over a decade ago, I was totally smitten… to the point where I couldn’t imagine myself living anywhere else. And then this Cali girl had a wake-up call. The weather was a total change from what I was used to previously!
When you’re going on a Fall trip out to New England, there’s a lot to consider since the weather can be hard to predict sometimes as each state’s climate is different. Each state can range from 50’s & 60’s (high) and 30’s & 40’s (low).
It’s what makes packing for New England a bit tricky. I’m a New Englander for over a decade and even I still struggle with what to wear sometimes!
Not to mention, different places have different climates. You could be totally warm in one New England state or experience windy, rainy, and freezing temperatures in another state. You really don’t know.
Overall, to stay on the safe side, I’d say that New England is mostly chilly. So, you’ll want to pack lots of layers.

How to Get the “New England Look” This Fall
New England on any given day is preppy and conservative which means you’ll want something that’s cute but not too flashy or revealing. Not to mention, the weather here is often unpredictable. You have to account for chilly weather.
So, girl, it’s time to put away those “clubby” dresses and sky-high heels you were wearing in LA & Miami! 😉
But, good news! With Fall comes so many different cute & cozy looks!
Check out my Fall fashion blog for some outfit ideas for different Fall activities around New England!
To get that “New England look”, go for brands like LL Bean, J Crew, Tory Burch, Kate Spade, Banana Republic, Nautica, LOFT, Ralph Lauren, Madewell…
Get ready to throw a scarf or wrap around you. Throw it in your bag and take it out whenever it gets nippy.
