It’s the same story every year, we have the perfect bikinis, coverups and mini dresses that make us look and feel great all summer long. Then the days start getting shorter, and the weather starts getting cooler and we have nothing in our closets for this new season (nothing cute anyway). Every year when October hits, us Floridians are met with the never-ending struggle of trying to dress in all the fall trends, without the risk of heat exhaustion. Luckily, Sand Surf Co. has cultivated the perfect autumn wardrobe for a Florida-friendly fall that can extend to those who get a time with true fall and winter weather.
-
Without a doubt one of the most popular styles this fall is matching sets. Two-piece outfits are a staple to being comfortable yet looking put together, and we have plenty to choose from! Lightweight fabrics and options for sweat-shorts or pants make these fall trends Florida- friendly but also pack the coverage needed for true fall weather up north!
-
One set we LOVE is the RVCA C-Able Set with designs for both men and women. This set includes a cropped hoodie with a looser fit, complete with moisture wicking material, creating a perfect piece for everything from working out to running errands. The women’s pants for this set are the same moisture wicking material and have an elastic waist and drawstring making them easily adjustable. If you are a regular at Sand or have even just walked into the store, you know how much we love matching couples’ outfits, and you can do just that with this set.

The men’s RVCA C-Able Pullover Hoodie and RVCA C-Able Sweatpants are the perfect way to match with your other half…or just look great on your own. This sweatshirt has an adjustable hood and clean cuffs, as well as a quick drying material. This is the same fabric used for the men’s sweatpants, which are slim fitting with front slant pockets and a back patch pocket. Style these two-piece outfits with a pair of slides (may we suggest the Billabong Play Vista Sandals or the RVCA Sport Slide) for the perfect casual yet well-styled fall fit!

Another Florida-friendly autumn outfit is the RVCA Test Drive set. The best part about this one is you have so many options… we love a versatile set! The RVCA Test Drive Sets are offered in 2 colors, Espresso Brown & After Glow Cream, to choose from for this cropped crewneck sweatshirt and its matching fleece cargo pants. And even better, we have matching espresso sweat shorts complete with a back right patch pocket and elastic waistband, in case the Florida weather is just a tad too warm for pants. Throw on a pair of Olukai Pehuea Women’s Slip-on Sneakers and some Salty Cali jewelry for a trendy fall-ready outfit.

If you want to be cozy & cute a must see is the Billabong So Easy Lounge Pant and the Billabong Cozy Falls Hoodie! This pant is offered in two colorways, classic Off Black & Multi. The off-black color paired with the ribbed knit material make this the perfect fall basic. We love these pants styled with a fitted white tank (the Roxy Good Keepsake Crop Tank Top is a great option) for a comfortable yet stylish look. For those days that are a little chillier, we recommend pairing these pants with their matching hoodie for an outfit that will keep you warm and on-trend! The Billabong Cozy Falls Hoodie is a lightweight knit top, complete with a hood and the same popular off-black color. What’s better than clothes that can be styled tons of different ways? Absolutely nothing.

Another set we are gushing over is the Rusty Koa Pant & Rusty Koa Short Sleeve Buttonup Shirt Set. Featuring a sweet Cranberry color, this set can be dressed up for holiday gathering or dressed down for a chic loose fit set ready for any adventure. Rock it buttoned up and chic or add a color pop by layering a patterned tank top and leaving the Rusty Koa Short Sleeve Shirt unbuttoned.

In a place with temps below 50? Pop on the Rusty Fur Bomber Jacket to stay styled and cozy during your entire event.

As much as we love matching sets for fall, we must have some variety in our autumn wardrobes. But do not fear, Sand Surf Co. has you covered! As I am sure we can all agree, Y2K trends are back and better than ever with the return of the baby tee, miniskirts, low-rise / baggy pants, and so much more.
-
One Y2K trend we can get on board with this fall is the comeback of cargo pants. Lately we have been loving the Billabong Wall to Wall Denim Cargo Pants. These high waisted, five pocket cream pants will keep you warm and in style this autumn. Pair them with an oversized tee like the Billabong With Love From The Sun Oversized Womens T-Shirt and cross body bag like the RVCA Total Package Utility Pouch Hip Bag for an effortless 2022 spin on this early 2000’s trend.

If Cargos aren’t your thing, don’t fret, because they aren’t the only pants currently making a comeback. We present to you… the return of corduroy! Corduroy pants are the perfect fall piece because you can adjust them to every type of weather based on what they are styled with.
One pair we currently ADORE are the Rusty Perfect Corduroy Lounge Pant. These high waisted pants have a side-zipper, so they lay seamlessly when on. Besides the flawless fit, the thing we love most about these pants is the two-toned oatmeal color. This color and fabric screams autumn making these pants perfect for everything from lounging around, to dinner with friends! Make it a set with the Rusty Perfect Cord Buttonup Longsleeve Shirt - pair with amazing with a neutral-colored top to layer underneath. If you're looking for a warmer option we suggest the Billabong The Saturday Tee Knit Top and if you're in warmer climates choose a tank top to layer underneath- click here to choose you own tank to pair it back with!

Another neutral-colored corduroy pant that is the definition of fall is the Rusty Keep Dreaming corduroy pant. These high waisted pants could not be more perfect for autumn if they tried, with the cornstalk color mirroring the color-changing fall leaves. Pair these pants with a white cropped sweater for a colorful yet classic look. For when the weather starts creeping into the 60s (freezing for us Floridians) throw a shacket on overtop for extra warmth. The Rusty Checked Out Oversized Shirt Jacket is a great option for this because the color of the plaid ties in perfectly with the pants! To complete this look, throw on a neutral mini bag, like the Roxy Chips and Guacamole Small Bag and have a stylish fit for any fall day.

If you love the idea of corduroy but want something a little lighter weight or more comfortable, Sand Surf Co. has just the thing for you. The Billabong Hit a Cord High-Waisted Corduroy Flared Pants are a necessity for this fall. The elastic waistband on these pants makes them easily adjustable, while the knit fabric makes them so comfortable you never want to take them off.
-
-
Style these pants with the RVCA Raw Cropped Sweater for a low key look. Want a little bit of a louder look? Match the Billabong Hit a Cord High-Waisted Corduroy Flared Pants with the Billabong Here We Go Graphic Crewneck Sweatshirt that offers pops of greens and pinks.
-
-
Still pant some more color? Switch the pant to the Billabong Sun Down High-Waisted Flared Pants that are ultra stretchyand full of fun. We call them the good butt pant in shop because they excentuate your figure in all the right places!

One thing that has never gone out of style and probably never will is a good maxi dress and adding sleeves to maxi dresses are a great way to make this summer staple a fall one. Having your legs and arms covered helps keep you a little warmer but the way these dresses flow, and their breathability keep them Florida fall friendly.

The first must see maxi dress at Sand is the Rusty Clara Maxi Dress. Not only is this nude dress a great fall material, but it is also REVERSIBLE. There is nothing better than two outfits for the price of one and this dress proves that. You can choose a look with more coverage and a higher neckline or a more daring look with a plunging V and cutout midsection. The two ways you can wear this dress give it amazing versatility and make it appropriate for nearly every occasion! This dress looks great with some sandals and a tote (our favs are the Sanuk Yoga Gora Sandal and the Billabong Check Her Out Tote Bag). To complete this outfit, throw on a pair of chunky sunglasses (may we suggest the I-SEA Waverly Polarized Sunglasses) and you are ready to go!

If you can’t tell, we are loving neutrals for this fall. The Rusty Siloh Textured Slit Maxi Dress and is an amazing way to subtly throw in some color without straying too far from the fall palette we love so dearly. The cut of this dress with the fitted waist, billowing sleeves, and flowy bottom will leave you looking like a goddess. This lightweight material will keep you cool during the sunny Florida fall days. Style this dress with dainty yet statement pieces of jewelry such as the Salty Cali Malibu Mini Hoop Earrings and the Salty Cali Paloma Necklace for an effortless and elegant outfit.

Want to style a tank dress for the fall too? Our two go to dresses right now are the Billabong Nissi Henley Knit Dress and the Rip Curl Havana Stripe Mini Dress. The Billabong Nissi Henley Knit Dress is fitting, flattering and packs a fall vibe with its Desert Clay colorway. Layer a long sleeve shirt underneath or country club tie the RVCA Raw Cropped Sweater over top to give you an extra autumn feel and some warmth for the cool breezes. The Rip Curl Havana Stripe Dress is for our fall loving girly girls. Paired below with the RVCA Raw Cropped Sweater which adds layers of dimension and warmth. Make it dressier for brunch with the girls with a cow girl boot and sparkly purse to make a statement.
