10 Easy Ways to
Reinvent
Your
Fall Wardrobe
Maybe you’re a serial sweater accumulator. Or perhaps you’re the type who has more boots than there are days in October. Avoiding the more-of-the-same rut means stepping just a bit outside the confines of those carefully drawn lines: Looking to spruce up your standby sweaters? Go for an elegantly draped cape. Burnt out on leather jackets? Call on a close cousin, like a sleek leather skirt. Trench coat fatigue? Apply an always-relevant neutral to something unexpected—say, a silk dress.

Neutral
GroundThe chicest neutral in your closet isn’t your gabardine trench or your trusty trousers—no, no. It’s an elegant spin on a staple shirtdress, like the kind Co does so well.
