If I had to pick just one word to base my entire fall wardrobe on—hell, my year-round wardrobe—elegant would be it easily. I wouldn't have to stress about trends and could instead focus all of my attention on timeless and sophisticated pieces that can be mixed and matched with each other effortlessly, making getting dressed a painless part of every day. If I had to bet, I'd guess many people would agree.
Running with my assumption, I thought I'd save those fellow elegance seekers some time by sharing my own fall shopping list. Of the 36 pieces currently on it—it's always being added to—each one was hand-selected for its classic and distinguished characteristics. There are hats—pillbox, of course—and jewelry as well as footwear of all types, classic handbags of all sizes, and plenty of ready-to-wear to go around, from pencil skirts to capes to satin dresses. It's a treasure trove for consumers who want to appear polished and stylish throughout autumn and into 2025.
