“The classic camel coat is not only timeless; it can also instantly elevate any look,” explains Wennerstrom. “For a day at the office, I’d throw it on over a silky blouse for a sophisticated vibe.” Top off your outfit with a pair of chic over-the-knee boots that add subtle edge without going overboard.

“This dress immediately stole my heart with its flirty skirt and au courant necktie,” says Wennerstrom. “It’s a no-brainer for a date night and easily a slam dunk for just about any upcoming holiday happening.” To finish off the look, opt for a pair of black suede pumps, as they can read as elevated or casual, depending on how you style them.

“Fall is all about layering, so having a few base pieces to work from are essential for making your wardrobe function for multiple occasions,” says Wennerstrom. “This chunky knit sweater is the perfect example of that, and it can be worn a million different ways. Styled over a dress or paired with wide-leg jeans, it’s bound to give you that quintessential fall feeling.” To elevate your off-duty weekend look and complete your ensemble, slip on a pair of classic slides that marry comfort and style.
