Where to Shop for Fall Fashion in Berks County
Fall is one of the most magical seasons in Eastern Pennsylvania. We’ve got colorful leaves, cooler temps, and our personal favorite—fall fashion! If you’re ready to refresh your wardrobe with cozy and stylish clothes and accessories, look no further than the local boutiques of Berks County.
Whether you’re planning on tailgating at a football game, picking pumpkins with your family, relaxing with friends next to a bonfire, transitioning from the office desk to dinner, or hitting the town with your sweetheart, you can achieve the perfect look for every occasion this autumn.
We love to shop small and local because it means our dollars are going right back into our local economy and community—not to mention the unbeatable selection and service that you can’t find at big box stores or from online shopping.

How to build a fall wardrobe
To adapt your fashion for fall while getting the most bang for your buck, try these tips and tricks:
- Layer up: Fall weather can be unpredictable, so layering is key! Look for lightweight cardigans, scarves, and vests that can be added or removed as needed.
- Fall hues: Embrace the warm and inviting colors of the season by choosing earthy tones like rust oranges, olive greens, deep burgundies, and mustard yellows.
- Prioritize outerwear: Invest in a timeless all-weather coat and stylish (yet comfortable) boots to kick around in the rain or mud. These essentials can handle the elements while keeping you looking sharp and sophisticated at the same time.
- Accessorize to amplify: If you’re more of a minimalist (hello capsule wardrobe!), you can keep your looks interesting by incorporating fall accessories like scarves, hats, and jewelry. We also love fingerless gloves for keeping cozy but cute.
- Shop sustainably: Diversify your look with second-hand, handmade, ethically sourced, or eco-friendly apparel and accessories made with organic cottons, recycled fabrics, or upcycled materials. These one-of-a-kind and planet-friendly pieces can be found at some boutiques and consignment stores, but also at unexpected places like local farmers’ markets or craft fairs.
