Layering Up for Fall, the LA Way
Perhaps nothing else conjures up an excitement equal parts old and new like the start of fall. There’s the anticipation to incorporate new runway trends, just as there’s a nostalgia to pull out those classic, tried-and-true cool weather pieces that always feel new again as the air turns crisp.
Danish-born designer Anine Bing knows a thing or two about nailing that whole classic-meets-modern mix. Since 2005, the LA-based designer and mother of two has designed edgy-feminine pieces with a timeless bent (think a motorcycle jacket, Chelsea boots, high-waist denim, and silk camisoles) under her eponymous label. The entire line is meant to be mixed-and-matched in a way that’s totally relatable, no matter your personal style. “I like to keep my personal style super easy and effortless, with a rock ‘n’ roll edge,” she says. Here she takes us through her current favorites–including a few closet MVPs she reaches for every fall.

TREND REPORT
“This fall, I’m most excited about bomber jackets and pajama dressing. You can throw on a bomber over a sweater, t-shirt, or fancy dress and it looks cool with anything. Head-to-toe silk pajamas work for daytime with a pair of white sneakers.”
