SIGNATURE SUNGLASSES
Our second favorite “must have” for Fall no matter what climate you are in is a pair of signature sunglasses. Whether you choose this Season’s vintage circular glasses, retro cat eye, oversized, or classic aviators, choose a style that suits your unique look and complements your facial structure. Take our suggestion: Square and cat eye tend to look best on heart shaped and round faces, while aviator and oversized suit oval faces, and circular and shield compliment square shapes.
Choose your favorite from among the unique “Field Series” of polarized sunglass lenses from Warby Parker, designed to keep you stylish and protect your eyes at the same time.
Choose from our favorite styles below:
“Piper” Tortoise Cat Eye Sunglasses
“Grady” Circular Glasses
“Dempsey” Aviators

From Alberta Ferretti to Elie Saab to Naeem Khan, designers across the runways made the statement earring a “must have” for 2016. Whether you prefer hoop or dangle or jeweled, be sure to create your own style and look this Season.

A REAL LEATHER BAG
Instead of keeping your “go to” canvas or worn out Summer tote, why not up your game with a genuine leather handbag. A top handle bag is extra ladylike even worn with boyfriend jeans and a tee. Or go with our favorite “bucket bag,” trending this Season. Whichever style, your leather bag will elevate your look to “professional” status this year.
Here are our top leather bag choices:
Marc Jacobs’ Black Crossbody
Tory Burch Leather Tote
Lodis Leather Bucket Bag
AN ADULT TEE
An adult tee can be just what you need to pull an otherwise “stuffy” outfit together. Choose one that has a little extra flare: a patterned tee, a tee with an interesting back, or a fringed front. The one rule: Your. Bra. Can’t. Show.
Check out our favorite fashionable “Adult Tee” finds:
“Della” Ivory Lace Swing Back Tee
“Sophia” Terry Knit Short Sleeve Shirt
“Esperanza” Crochet Back Shirt
JEANS THAT FIT YOU
The key to this Season’s denim trend is finding a fit that’s just right for your body type. And don’t forget, you can also tailor your jeans as well. Find your favorite brand and size, give them one wash, and run to your favorite tailor for perfect custom style. Slender silhouettes look great in a fit and flare jean, accentuating small waist and hips.
Try these favorites:
AC Collection’s Medium Wash Flare Denim
1921’s Distressed Flare
Hudson’s Ferries Flap Pocket Jean
Actress Minka Kelly stays stylish in smooth straight leg jeans paired with a simple button down. Straight leg jeans are perfect for petite frames or bodies with wider hips, as the clean line elongates the leg and provides an even balance.
Shop our favorite straight leg styles here:
Goldsign’s Green “Misfit” Straight Leg Jean
Citizen’s of Humanity’s “Ava” Straight Leg Jean
Chip & Pepper’s “Pamela” Medium Wash Straight Leg
Don’t forget Fall’s other favorite jean styles which look great on all body types- the skinny and the cropped. Pair the skinny jean with elevated wedges, ballerina flats, or classic pumps for a smooth, clean leg line. The cropped is perfect combined with your favorite tee or chunky sweater when the weather cools, and a chic pair of ankle boots.

AC Collection’s Black High Waisted Skinny Jeans
Hudson’s Distressed Cropped Skinny Jeans
Citizen’s of Humanity’s Ivory Mid Rise Skinny Jeans
MOTO JACKET
Just like your real leather handbag, you’ll feel an aura of “city life sophistication” in your own leather moto jacket. You don’t have to look like a “groupie” when wearing this kind of jacket- it’s all in how you style it. Look for authentic leather with a fitted silhouette to achieve clean lines.
Don’t just stick to jeans when styling. Your jacket will bring instant sophistication to a basic pair of leggings and plain white Tee for days out on the town. You can also combine with your favorite pencil dress for upscale class at the office. And when the sun sets, layer over your favorite flowing maxi or sequined cocktail dress to offset the tough “rocker” look.
And don’t just limit your color to black. Carry a little Summer into the Fall Season with a pure white or pale pink leather jacket. Or, go for this Season’s bright jeweled colors in sapphire, ruby or emerald.
However you choose to style, the moto leather jacket is “must do” to stand out from among the rest this year.
BRIGHT COLORED FLATS
And finally, what to complete your Fall accessory ensemble? Why not give your feet a break and try this Season’s popular bright colored flat. We are a big fan of Tieks by Gavrieli, the reinvented ballerina flat. Each pair of Tieks is crafted from the finest leathers (or vegan textiles if you prefer) and specially treated to be flexible yet durable. In total, it takes three days and over 150 steps to create a single pair of Tieks, and they can slip easily into your purse for a quick change from your heels.
Fashionista Olivia Palermo was just spotted this week in NYC sporting a bright canary yellow pair of classic flats. Your shoes can complete and even elevate the most basic outfit of cropped boyfriend jeans and white tee.
If you feel like being fancy, try this Season’s hottest lace up flat shoes. Throw on some jeans and a tee and you are ready to hit the streets in style.
So whether you are going to try a patterned skirt or a REAL leather bag or colorful flats, make a point to go beyond your “comfort zone ” this Fall. You can begin to implement the coming Season’s fashion trends today by incorporating them into your current style staples.
