I have some advice to help with the end-of-summer scaries: Take a scroll through NET-A-PORTER's new-season arrivals. Remember getting those back-to-school catalogs and circling the pencil bags and backpacks that made going into 3rd grade seem so exciting and fun? Well my version of that is browsing through the retailer's array of sleek suede bags, boho-inspired plaid shirts, and chic flats in the hopes that it will make letting go of 8pm sunsets a little bit easier (don't judge!). And I can confirm the finds are immaculate.
On my shopping list is a refresh of flats, denim, and long sleeves that I'll be able to style all season long and into the winter months. Aeyde makes the prettiest high-quality shoes, and its fall selection of suede pumps and flats would look so pretty with the sheer Toteme top and editor-approved Nili Lotan jeans below. There are so many good bags from Khaite, Bottega Veneta, and Liffner that are made to be worn with a pair of black heeled ankle boots (and a cozy London Fog in hand). These pieces almost make me want to ditch my flip-flops early and turn on a fall-themed episode of TV. Keep scrolling to shop our virtual catalog of fashion editor–approved fall finds that are guaranteed to bring you seasonal joy.
Fall Tops
The 2014 Tumblr girl in me is trembling with excitement at the thought of the plaid shirt revival. While we likely won't style them with a messy bun and ripped-up Levi's, the return of this fun print confirms the boho renaissance is upon us. Sheer materials and cozy knitted tops will be perfect for the transitional weather ahead.
Fall Bottoms
I just about screamed when I saw this suede Rohé skirt. It's the perfect fall find that will be cool year after year. Of course, a denim refresh is imminent, and I'm here for the snake-skin print, which looks particularly chic on a pencil skirt.
Fall Bags
The pony-hair Khaite number below is calling my name. The east-west silhouette isn't going anywhere, and neither is suede. For those looking for luxury without a heinous price tag, brands such as Liffner and Demellier always deliver and tend to stay under $1000.
Fall Shoes
Fall marks the return of pointed-toe pumps, and like I mentioned earlier, Aeyde is killing it. The silver details and snake-skin print on these Le Monde Beryl Mary Janes make it a great statement shoe to wear to the office.
Fall Outerwear
You likely won't need a fall coat in August or September, but you will want to snag one before October when they all sell out. A leather or suede bomber is always classic, as is a lightweight denim number that you won't sweat through even if it's 70°.
