Okay, fall is right around the corner and I’m sure you’re busy putting together a drop dead fall wardrobe. But if instead you’ve been a slacker, no worries — here are four fall essentials that are sure to jazz up any look:
Double breast wool jacket or coat is this season’s star. They appeared on the runways in classic plaids and modern metallics. Go for a style that is a posh compliment to your bootcut jeans, but is just as chic when dressed up. Try a look like the Bouclé mohair Lucille jacket, so Jackie O.
Riding boots are back again (as if they ever left), and glamazons are popping up in all the mags wearing them not only with jeans and jodhpurs but with dresses, too. Try a classic pair like the side buckle, back zip Matt Bernson black patent riding boots, there’s a slight crinkle to the leather making them look vintage and relaxed. They’re also available in a rich brown.
Plaid is tres chic for fall and what better way to flaunt this ivy league print than with a haute handbag such as the L.A.M.B. Edinburgh McGregor doctor bag. Royal blue and tango orange make this tartan tote fabulous.
Long flowing scarves can add flair to any ensemble — go bold with vibrant colors and prints or opt for simplicity with a solid woven pattern like the Gap woven stripe scarf in off white, viking grey, or true black.
Chicly Yours,
The Chic Spy
