Versatile Jackets
An easy jacket is the perfect way to make your go-to pieces fall-friendly. For fall 2026, funnel-neck silhouettes have been trending in various fabrications. However, you can't go wrong with other timeless styles.
Flat Shoes
Trade your favorite sandals in for a solid flat-shoe style. Whether it's loafers, Mary Janes, ballet flats, or mules, there's endless potential for styling with this shoe category. I love wearing fun socks to give my outfit a little extra personality.
Lightweight Knits
As the leaves turn, sweater weather ensues. Having go-to lightweight knits can make the biggest difference when weather conditions start to shift. You can't go wrong with cashmere, and either a cardigan or crewneck is a perfect place to start.
Tall Boots
Boots are quintessentially fall, and I'm partial to taller styles. Pair your favorite boots and tights with cute trouser shorts, skirts, and dresses from the last few months to give them that autumn treatment.
Leather Tote
It's officially time to retire your raffia and straw carryalls for a fall- and winter-friendly leather or suede tote. Classic colorways, like luxe black or warm, rich brown, won't disappoint.
