Chic & Tough

Pair feminine details with more masculine silhouettes for a hip fall look.

Stay warm this fall with layers. But we’re not talking about bulky sweaters over long underwear. This season choose a refined look with a focus on the neckline. Layer a cashmere sweater over a blouse over a thin turtleneck, and elevate the whole ensemble with a silk scarf and a strand of pearls. You’ll beat the cold and look good doing it!

Mixing styles can also lead to a new, unexpected looks. Personally, I love the interplay between feminine and masculine fashions. Studded boots and punk pants paired with a soft jacket, or a ladylike skirt with a black loafer. These combinations are both surprising and stylish.

As the weather begins to cool, it’s time to bring out your collection of boots—from ankle booties to knee-length styles. We break down the different heights and what to wear with them this fall. The big trend, though, is mid-calf boots. You’ll start seeing them in all the shops locally so if you don’t have a pair, considering investing in one!

Men’s Fall Look: Sports Coat

Men’s Fall Look: Sports Coat

A men’s sports coat is stylish and sophisticated, but it can also be a little restraining in casual settings. The latest designer jackets or soft coats offer the polished look of a sports coat without the lining or formality.

Elevating casual attire applies to footwear, too. The humble workman’s boot is getting a style upgrade suitable for pairing with polished looks.sports coat

Get the Look for Less: Crossbody Bags

DSC_4472Crossbody bags are stylish and functional. Born from the messenger bag for workers who needed hands free during deliveries, the trend continues to be a favorite with high-end designers. Plus, this season chain-handle bags are a must have!

Chloé’s small lambskin bag pairs with any outfit but comes with a hefty price tag. For a more cost-effective option, try on INZI’s day bag.
