ON HER Nicholas K sweatshirt, $310, Shelly Steffee shirt, $95, and Alice Ritter skirt, $345, all at Petulia’s Folly. Antipast knee socks, $36, Martin Margiela ankle boots, $945, and Chloé bag, $1,175, all at Joan Shepp.


Why we love it

Tee: This plum tee's hue is fall's hottest color.

Sweatshirt: A chic, pulled-together — surprise! — sweatshirt is so easy to throw on.

Bag: A status bag in a pared-down shape and goes-with-everything color.

Skirt: A denim skirt in a fuller shape is as comfy — and casual — as your favorite Levi's.

Socks:
Save the tights for winter! These not-preppy knee socks will do the trick.

Boots: This soft-leather boot in a short style looks equally fab with skinny jeans.

Style tips

Jacket: The perfect laid-back and stylish fall jacket.

Shirt: Super-soft and oh-so-good for fall layering.

Layered shirt: Because you know berry is in, too.

Jean: This slimmer cut jean is so much better than that ill-fitting pair you used to wear.

Shoes
: A sturdy, comfy, stylish alternative to your ratty sneaks.
