The VIPs (Very Important Pieces) You Need In Your Fall Wardrobe
The Bag
Already on the arms of certain editors, this shopping bag is a stand out this fall.
The Mid-Price: Clare Vivier
Simple Tote in Marine Suede with Gloss Red & Matte Cream Stripes, $495, clarev.com
The Boot
If its not metallic this fall, don’t bother. These metallic Balenciaga ankle boots are the more realistic version of the thigh-length versions seen on the runway (and on Kylie Jenner).
The Sweater
Whether it’s a cat, lion or panther, make sure your sweater has an animal on it!
The Shirt
This fall, shirting should fun (read: colorful and printed). Prada mixed fabrics and textures on the runway and tied them all together with a corset. A loud printed shirt should be paired with a pleated skirt or a pencil skirt with an extra wide belt—or if you are brave, try a white Prada corset.
Day Dress
The slip dress from the summer is still big. Layer it over roll neck or wear it over a white shirt for a fresh take on the slip.
Night Dress
The 1980s are returning this fall (in fashion, at least) and no other collection was a bigger champion of the trend than Hedi Slimane’s last one for Saint Laurent.
Denim
The jean this fall has been the jean since last season so if you took our advice and invested in a pair from Vetements then hurrah! If you didn’t, time to get the credit card out!
Denim skirt
You have the jeans all figured out but denim comes in skirt form too! This fall, embroidery is the key to updating your denim skirt—Gucci established the trend.
The Pants
Color and texture is what one needs to know about this fall—make sure its bright and make sure it is not just about cotton! Velvet and leather are going to dominate until winter so invest now.
The Leather pants
Be bold, be brave and go for a red leather this fall!
The Expensive: Louis Vuitton
Patent lambskin pants in red, price upon request, louisvuitton.com
Day Heels
Céline shoes will always be the it-shoe of any season, and these architecturally sculpted heels are no exception.
High Heels
Metallic rules into the evening. If you are a stiletto heel kind of gal, go for Gucci and enjoy the 80s revival with their knot sandals, but if you’re afraid of heights, then opt for the Loewe low heel in silver.
The low heel
A metallic shoe—even without a high heel—will amp up any outfit, day or night!
Summer is at its peak, but before you know it, fall is here. And I don’t mean just a change in temperature but a change in wardrobe! It’s a good thing then that this fall sees two very important changes in fashion. The new Balenciaga under Demna Gvasalia finally hits the stores, and this is Hedi Slimane’s last collection for Saint Laurent. A wise fashion collector once told me, always buy from a designer’s first season and last season for any house, so with these wise words ringing in your, let’s look at what are the key pieces we should be spending our money on. And if your budget is tight, what you can buy for less.
