It’s hard to believe that in just a few weeks it will be time, once again, to transition from linen and lemonade to cashmere and coffee. Here are few necessities worth snagging that are sure to land you on the best-dressed list for this upcoming season.
#1 Fendi Frames
Fendi Fendi 52mm Cat Eye Sunglasses
These fun frames are guaranteed to turn heads throughout the sunny autumn season. These sunglasses are a fresh new take on the classic cat-eye shape. The asymmetric sides and bold lenses frame your face like a work of art.
#2 Tom Ford Flares

ASOS Flare Pants in Crepe
Ready to retire your old skinny jeans? Try switching up your look by making a sophisticated shift in your everyday silhouette, with flared trousers. They’re ultra-flattering and 70s-chic. Tom Ford’s perfectly tailored trousers are featured in this season’s edgy ad-campaign. The trick to achieving this look is to balance out the pants with a three-quarter-length sleeve, or a top with a strong shoulder to avoid over-accentuation of the hips. A boxy tee or tank that hits just above the belt-line will create the perfect proportion and give the illusion of mile-long legs.
#3 The Cape Makes its Comeback

#5 Bright Heeled Boots
Instinct Half Boot
Bead and Jewel Knee High Boots
Minimalistic is the new black this season. Clean lines, cohesive textures, and simplicity are key-elements seen in countless Ready-to-wear collections this season. Rather than piling on loads of jewelry, reach for a pair of eye-catching boots with a color-contrasting heel to add vitality to any autumn ensemble. These boots work best when incorporated as a statement piece for any outfit, without detracting from an overall look.
