Tips & Trends | Fall 2017 Top 5 Must-Have Pieces

A new season is around the corner, and the last thing you want is to be caught off-guard without a fall wardrobe. Stay stylish this autumn by adding these five pieces to your wardrobe.

Slouchy Boots

A roomy style, whether in distressed leather or suede, makes these shoes the must-have boots of the season. Saint Laurent’s glittery boot might not be the best ready-to-wear look, but plenty of day-to-day options exist. Try a looser fit slouched at the ankle or find it throughout the whole boot. Pair it with calf-length skirts or tucked in jeans—maybe even the other items on this list. Be prepared to see it everywhere this fall.

Long Floral Dresses

Florals make an easy transition from spring to summer to fall this year. Bright, colourful hues are replaced with darker tones. Instead of the burnt oranges and mustard yellows we’re used to seeing, deep purples and blues define the colour palette. Pair them with slouchy boots for a look that moves from runway to everyday.

Shearling Jackets

The seventies made a serious comeback, and this is evident in fall’s must-have pieces. Go for a dark colour or a seventies-inspired mustard. This fabric debut everywhere and the jacket is perfect for staying cozy and on trend. Practical and stylish outerwear is something every fashionista can get behind.

Knitwear Sweaters

Knitted fair isle classics and other preppy patterns keep the cozy trend strong. For Canadian trendsetters, staying warm as the temperature drops is an absolute priority. Opt for a short cropped version in a burgundy shade or a deep green turtleneck. Whether it’s oversized in a neutral colour or patterned, pair it with fitted pants or trousers to stay warm and look good. Comfort never goes out of a fashion, and this piece gives you the best of both worlds.

Structured Handbags

Good structure turns heads. While clutches and monograms may have made a wave in the spring for the fall runways, the structured handbag stands out as this season’s “It” purse. Try something boxy or rectangular, in a monochromatic colour or a patterned frenzy. Short handles are easy to slip over the elbow, but the oversized trend is just as popular. Stay stylish and polished all season with this bag over your shoulder.
