Fall For It

Tall Boot

By Lilah Nicolaidis

A tall leather boot is a classic fall shoe that never goes out of style. We particularly love one with an equestrian look.

Splurge on a new treasure for your jewelry box. We love these Maltese cross cuffs — they make a statement but represent a timeless, classic style.

Structured Bag

Now is the time to shop for a sturdy bag that’s big enough to hold everything you need in a day. Try a rich fall color that will coordinate with anything, like chocolate or navy.

Light Jacket

Grab a lightweight trench and wear it all through fall — just add layers as the temperature drops. Shades of gray are right on trend this season.

Flat Shoe

A ballet flat for daytime is a must-have. We suggest a neutral style or an ultra-chic black and white shoe — either will match pretty much everything.

Party Dress

Also on our list: a great dress for going out at night. Try a fun, printed style and watch the complements roll in.

Belt

Update your belt selection with a skinny metallic style. You’ll wear it with jeans, skirts and dresses. Think of gold or silver as neutral colors — they really go with anything.

Dark Pant

Look for a cropped pant, like a chino or a jean in a dark wash; the dark color and cropped length is elongating and slimming. This versatile style works at the office or on the weekends.

Scarf

Before you break out the serious cold-weather gear, grab a lightweight scarf that’s in line with fall’s darker palette.

Small Colorful Bag

A small bag should be on your short list; you’ll wear it day or night. Try a bright autumn shade like red or purple to update your look.

T-Shirt

Update your t-shirt drawer for the season. These are staples that you wear almost every day so it’s worth it to grab a few new basics, like black, white and stripes.
