5 Style Upgrades to Get You Excited about the Seasonal Shift
Sweater weather is near. Above: Róhe Crewneck, goop, $560
While we’re in no rush to fast-forward through the last few weeks of summer, it’s hard to resist getting a jump on our fall wardrobes—because the new arrivals are just that good. We’re talking soft, cozy layers you’ll want to cocoon yourself in. Polished loafers that smarten up any outfit. Sharp-shouldered jackets that make you want to go back into the office. And so much more.
So here, to get you started: five shop-ahead pieces to help future you step into the new season in style.
1
THE CARDIGAN
G. Label by goop Noah Belted Crewneck Cardigan, $595
Knit from fine Italian virgin wool in the prettiest light-oat color, this cardigan is a timeless staple you’ll have forever. It has a straight, slim body; long sleeves with extended ribbing at the cuffs; and an optional self-belt. Wear it on the school run with jeans, to the office with a tailored midi skirt, or out to dinner with a pair of black cigarette pants—it’s versatile like that.
2
THE DARK DENIM
Jamie Haller Jeans, $505
Infinitely more polished than their light-blue counterpart but still casual enough to hang with your weekend tops, a good pair of dark jeans is a seasonal essential. These have a fitted high waist and baggy curved legs that create a directional silhouette. And they’re finished with painter’s-pant-inspired patch pockets—so good.
3
THE SLIP-ON SHOE
Emme Parsons Loafers, $525
Swap the sandals you’ve been living in for a pair of handsome loafers. We love everything about this pair: The silhouette is classic. The color is rich. And the croc-embossed leather—it goes without saying, but we’ll put it out there anyway—looks incredibly luxe. Wear them with everything from suits to sweats.
4
THE SIGNATURE JEWELRY PIECE
EREDE Signet Ring, $6,500
There’s something so chic about having a signature, whether it’s a subtle fragrance that follows you into every room or a lip color you won’t leave the house without. This signet ring is a worthy contender for such a role: Between the corrugated texture and that preternaturally sparkly oval diamond sitting pretty in the center, it’s stops-you-in-your-tracks stunning.
5
THE LIGHT LAYER
AERON Blazer, $765
When you need something more substantial than the sweaters above but less insulating than your winter coat, reach for a blazer. This one combines classic menswear-inspired details—strong shoulders, peak lapels, flap pockets—with a feminine nipped waist. Plus, that gorgeous moss green makes a cool, unexpected neutral.
