Graphic prints are so good—they make a simple sheath look elaborate, dress up a pair of jeans, hide your flaws, the list goes on. This fall, pull out the latest and greatest in your print collection. And don’t be shy. Have a party to attend? Show up in a frock that’s got optical-illusion status.

p: polka dots
Polka dots are popping up everywhere this season—bag the trend with a cosmetics tote that you’ll want to pull out of your satchel.
q: quintessentially mod
On the fall runways, we saw mod-inspired styles (and, you guessed it, colors!) from the likes of Yigal Azrouël and Christopher Bailey for Burberry. The essentials for nailing the trend? A mini dress in a popping shade, and a sheath dress like this one hits the mark.
r: rubber soles
These are not your grandmother’s rubber-soled shoes. This season’s rubber soles are chic and practical—like this pair of lace-up wedges. We just know already that this will be our newest go-to shoe, and we won’t fret even when the snow hits the ground.
s: sheer
The sheer trend has been around a while, so the best way to go this season is with a sheer(ish) maxi skirt, or with a long-sleeve sheer blouse. Pair with some subtly sexy underthings and an armload (or neckload) of baubles—et voila, out the door you go.

t: two-in-one
Is it a scarf or a shirt? A coat or a cape? Why not keep ‘em guessing in an awesome two-in-one this season? The cloak (slash cape slash coat) is our pick for fall outerwear, with the right amount of mystery and a chic silhouette that makes it great over a pencil skirt or tailored trousers.

u: ultra luxe
Lux fabrics are perfectly on point for autumn, especially if you end up living in them day in and day out. The aforementioned leather skirt is worth the splurge, as is a closetful of tee’s made from the finest jersey. Or a sultry silky wrap dress like this one—indulge!
v: vie boheme
The best $175 you’ll spend this fall? A stunning one-of-a-kind knitted bag, handmade in Colombia that not only has a bohemian allure but also directly benefits women in need. It’s a dream—adds character to every outfit, is roomy enough to carry all your things, does good for others, and is serious eye candy. Fair warning: you may end up with more than one.
w: wide legged pants
We are embracing the return of the wide-leg pant with gusto, and are fully of the belief that every woman needs a pair. A great pant pulls an outfit together flawlessly—all you need is a tucked-in blouse and a pair of stacked sandals (or a solid wedge, or a sturdy boot). Added bonus: so much more comfortable than the skinny jeans in your closet!

x: x-ercise
Bondage trends aside, this season is all about being comfortable—lux fabrics and wide-leg pants can attest to that. Naturally, sportswear-inspired clothing has an equally easy appeal that made it to the runways. We love an athletic parka best; being cozy and stylish has never been this simple.
y: ye olde scotland
You don’t have to be Scottish or a schoolgirl to rock the tartan plaid this fall. But to avoid being confused for either one, we’ll be wearing it in our accessories: a quilty poncho or a roomy weekend bag, or a super cute pair of ballet flats.
z: zing
This season, iridescent accents are all over the map, whether it’s a metallic sheen on a party-going top, or an all-out silver pump. We’re partial to this shoe, which manages to blend this season’s loafer trend with a crazy all-eyes-on-me finish. And why wouldn’t we? It’s the perfect, wearable mirror for our fall mantra: color, color, color!
