Like many in the fashion space, I've long dreamt of being dressed by a fashion designer or personal stylist. To my delight, Tanya Taylor's fall collection at Saks is making that dream feel a little closer to reality. If you haven't yet discovered Tanya Taylor, let me introduce you to this style icon. She's an NYC-based fashion designer whose eponymous womenswear brand possesses the trend-driven sensibility of a New Yorker and the sophistication and versatility of a French woman.
With numerous celebrity clients, Taylor can't advise me on what to wear every morning, but her unique, of-the-moment designs have made the simple act of getting dressed feel like a magical experience. Keep scrolling to see my favorite pieces from the collection, from striped dresses to sequin skirts to cashmere sweaters.
Sophisticated Dresses and Skirts
These ultra-chic dresses are your one-and-done ticket to looking supremely sophisticated without putting any thought into mixing and matching. If you really want a showstopping piece, I'd check out the sequin midi skirt. It comes in two neutral colorways—chocolate and champagne—so you can make a statement without looking overdone.
Versatile Short-Sleeve Tops
Satin! Argyle! Denim! Cashmere! With a unique array of patterns and fabrics, these aren't your average fall tops. I love that they're extremely versatile and have endless day-to-night styling possibilities.
Cozy-Chic Sweaters and Blouses
Sweater weather is here, and Tanya Taylor pulled out all the stops. These merino wool and cashmere numbers will keep you warm amid the crisp fall breeze, and you can even layer a blouse underneath for preppy, academic twist.
Elegant Jackets and Coats
Drumroll, please. These jackets are the epitome of fall sophistication. There's one for every occasion: you can wear the cotton jacket on warm afternoons, the faux fur or calf-hair coat to dinner on a chilly evening, and the wool-blend jacket on temperate days.
