Looks That
Get Fall Right
The French greet la rentrée—the vibrant turn of season when city-dwellers return from summer holiday and open signs reappear in shop windows—as they do everything else: with a good face oil, that signature esprit, and an effortless wardrobe.

Pair a moody floral midlength dress with pointed Mary Jane flats for a look that celebrates fall as elegantly as the French do (and looks equally chic with sneakers or knee-high boots).

THE CLASSICS
When in doubt, consult the classics: a slim sweater in graphic stripes, go-anywhere black trousers, and trend-defying suede boots with a little elevation. Finish with the French…no, every girl’s secret weapon: a belted trench.

LEATHER
WEATHERAn A-line leather skirt is an elevated alternative to wide-leg trousers—the fit is feminine, but the material is strong and sexy, with a hint of masculine energy that plays well with everything from blazers to turtlenecks and tees.
