What to Wear to a Fall Rehearsal Dinner

What to wear to a fall rehearsal dinner: a satin or velvet midi or maxi dress with a sharp jacket or sculptural bag. I pick dresses with evening texture, outer layers that count as part of the outfit, and polished shoes.

Black and Gold Outfits to Try This Fall

Black and gold is the most glamorous pairing of fall, and the easiest to overdo. These five outfits put black wool, lace, plissé and suede with gold hoops, shells, mules and a metallic clutch. Keep the black plain and the gold to a few places.

Red and Black Outfits to Try This Fall

Red and black outfits work best when black does most of the work and red gets one or two pieces in satin, suede or patent. I pair five looks, from a red cardigan with vinyl flares to a red halter dress under a croc coat.

Burgundy and Black Outfits to Try This Fall

A burgundy and black outfit works best when black takes most of the space and burgundy gets one or two pieces in a visible texture. I put together five, from a burgundy blazer over all black to a patent skirt with a zip cardigan.

Burgundy and Chocolate Brown Outfits to Try This Fall

Burgundy and chocolate brown is the richest-looking pairing of fall, two dark colors from the same warm family. These five outfits put burgundy leather, knits, jersey and ruffles with brown denim, cashmere, alpaca and suede. Keep chocolate brown and burgundy both dark, and mix the textures.
