I’m choosing to ignore the 80-degree weather we’re experiencing in Manhattan and instead embrace the fall fashion classics. I’m hoping the forecast will follow my lead. Fall fashion is my time to shine. I love the sweaters, suede, and textured elements that define the season’s style. While fall trends like the funnel-neck jacket and animal-print obsession come and go, these anti-trend staples will last you all season and well into the colder months.
Think everyday loafer, preppy polo sweaters, dark rinse jeans, and more. I’ve put together a list of eight elevated fall basics that always get me compliments. From ‘70s style corduroys to knee-high boots, these are the sophisticated fall basics you’ll be reaching for again and again. Shop the eight fall staples, complete with style inspiration.
