The Fall Style Guide

The Fall Style Guide

Fall is when the closet gets serious. Layers, knits, boots and richer colors are all coming back at once. This edit is a full guide to the season, from tops to shoes.

What to wear now

The season changes the way we dress more than any other. Fall means layers, texture and a palette that moves toward warm colors.

More tops

Dresses get layered with knits and boots for the transition. Tops do the quiet work in an edit like this, changing an outfit more than they seem to.

Trousers and shorts

Tops lean on texture, with ribbed knits and silky fabrics. The bottom half decides the proportion, so these are worth choosing carefully.

More trousers and shorts

Outerwear moves from light jackets to coats as temperatures drop. Trousers and shorts set the tone for everything above them.

Mini dresses

Shoes shift from sandals to boots and loafers. Dresses are the fastest way into the trend, since one piece is the whole outfit.

Bags

Dresses get layered with knits and boots for the transition. A bag is the accent, and it is where the outfit gets a bit of personality.

Jewelry

Tops lean on texture, with ribbed knits and silky fabrics. Jewelry is the small detail that makes an outfit feel considered.

Shoes

Outerwear moves from light jackets to coats as temperatures drop. Shoes decide whether the outfit reads dressy or casual.

Jackets

Shoes shift from sandals to boots and loafers. A good layer is what turns a simple outfit into a complete one.

Knitwear

Dresses get layered with knits and boots for the transition. Knits bring the cold-weather texture that the season needs.

Dresses

Tops lean on texture, with ribbed knits and silky fabrics. Here the dresses come in every length and cut, so the look is easy to match to an occasion.

Denim

Outerwear moves from light jackets to coats as temperatures drop. Denim anchors the rest of the outfit, and the cut matters more than the wash.

Coats and trenches

Shoes shift from sandals to boots and loafers. These are the pieces that sit on top of everything else.

Accessories

Dresses get layered with knits and boots for the transition. Accessories are the quickest, lightest way to join the trend.

Skirts

Tops lean on texture, with ribbed knits and silky fabrics. Skirts are the easiest way to change the mood of a plain top.

Maxi dresses

Outerwear moves from light jackets to coats as temperatures drop. For anyone who dresses in one decision, this is the group to start with.
