To Be Honest, These Timeless Silhouettes Are the Only Trends We're Into RN

In the age of internet fashion, we're walking the finest line between trendy and timeless. Traditionally, these two categories are the opposite of one another, but they've been working hand in hand this season. (Opposites attract, and all that.) Timeless staples have become the buzzy trends to invest in, which might feel wrong to say, but the results are oh so right. Our associate editor, Yusra Siddiqui, is living proof. Using pieces from Banana Republic, she put together two looks that fall perfectly into this season's "trendy-timeless" category—inspired by The Fall Issue. Here's how to follow her lead: Instead of investing in a neutral suit, opt for this season's hottest color trend. (Ahem, it's red.) Or when reaching for a maxi dress, go bolder with a metallic print and ample accessories. Bottom line? This season, we aren't afraid to wear bright colors or mix metals, but we're doing it in a classic way with pieces that will live in our wardrobes forever. Keep scrolling to shop Yusra's fall looks.

"I always love strong suiting for the office, and this red suit from Banana Republic is just what I'm looking for when I want to feel a little extra powerful on a Monday morning. The color is bright but not too much, and the silhouette is extremely flattering, which I usually struggle to find for my petite frame. While I already have a few black blazers on deck, a red blazer is front and center on my mood board for fall. If I were to take it from the office to a date night, I'd switch out the trousers for a satin slip skirt." — Yusra Siddiqui, associate editor

"I adore a versatile dress like this one from Banana Republic. You can wear it in a variety of ways—I'd most likely wear it to get mocktails after work or swap the flats for heels and wear it to an event or a wedding! The luxe fabric can be easily styled to your preference. Even though the metallic look is a statement, don't be afraid to play around with accessories. I added gold bangles and rings, and they complemented each other perfectly. Metallics are my way of incorporating a trendier touch without going overboard, and I've been adding more and more metallic pieces to my fall wardrobe, so this dress just makes sense." — Siddiqui
