Style Notes: Animal print has been huge this summer, and the trend shows no signs of slowing down for the cooler season ahead. Transition your leopard-print skirt into fall with a blazer in a chic and complementary autumnal hue (think earthy browns), layer a simple white tee underneath, and yes, you can combine your prints! So go ahead and wear that checked brown blazer with your leopard patterns.

Opt for Bold Colors

Style Notes: There were some unexpectedly bright colors on the F/W 18 runways—from fuchsia to ultraviolet and yellow—guaranteeing our ensembles look a little brighter on those gray and cloudy autumn days ahead. Wear your bright hues from head to toe, or pair your blazer with a contrasting color. Whatever you choose, you're sure to stand out from the crowd.
