Fall for the unexpected

Nail this season’s fashion challenge with the right mix of essentials and eclectic pieces

Something about fall makes my wardrobe crave fun! I have been adding a few seasonal staples like sweaters, pants and jewelry, but it is exciting to find that one-of-a-kind look that I can’t wait to wear and is sure to get double takes.

Funky, unique pieces should be worn with classic elements to tone them down. The best way to do this is to pair them with traditional denim. For instance, bold styles like a suede skirt with leather trim, boots with a color-block design or a Marigold scarf with sequined fringe can put some “WOW” into a fall outfit. Add a denim jacket, button-down top or dark-wash pair of trouser jeans for a chic, refined look. This type of outfit shows that you know how to mix cool and classic.

If you are looking to refresh your fall wardrobe, here are a few pieces to consider adding — along with some fun, unexpected ways to style them:

  1. Track pants with a short-sleeve cashmere sweater, accessorized with a scarf around the neck
  2. A plaid voluminous dress with suede booties
  3. High-necked lace blouse with dark-wash straight leg jeans and a black kitten heel

Don’t be afraid to step outside the ordinary. The most unexpected combinations often make the best-dressed statements.
