*LEATHER HANDBAG
Bags get bigger with cooler weather because you have more to carry (umbrellas, wraps, hats).The leather bag doesn't have to be boring -- there are logoed styles, patent, exotic skins, quilting, bold hardware, bright colors and much more -- but the most classic looks have a ladylike feel to them and understated luxury.
*HIGH BOOTS
Knee-high bootsmake great sense for fall because they let you get more wear out of everything from skinny jeans to miniskirts. Brown boots are a great choice if you wear lots of denim; black pairs with almost everything
*TURTLENECK SWEATER
Stick with cozy, touchable materials for your turtleneck sweater because anything itchy or scratchy is unbearable on your sensitive neck area.
The turtleneck brings your face into focus.A mock turtleneck is a good option if you don't like the bulk of a true turtleneck (it's the same height, only the fabric doesn't fold back over).
*WHITE SHIRT (COLLAR NO or COLLAR)
White Shirt Sounds basic, but a crisp, long-sleeve white shirt is a building block of your fall wardrobe.The varieties are endless -- cotton with stretch, fitted silhouettes, cuff and sleeve details, collar variations -- but they all work under everything from cardigans to jackets or on their own with wide-leg trousers.
*PLAID
Plaid -- a perennial menswear print favorite -- translates very well to trousers, coats and jackets. Pair with everything from a solid shirt to a twinset.
*FITTED JACKET
A great tailored jacket -- fitted to show off feminine curves, not a baggy masculine style -- will pair with everything from work trousers to jeans.A jacket adds structure to your figure: gives curvy girls more angular lines, creates waistlines for boyish figure types and smooths out lumps and bumps for all shapes.Choose traditional fall jacket fabrics like tweed, corduroy, denim or menswear plaids; or go luxe with velvet, leather, brocade.
*BLACK PANTS SUIT
Pantsuits may be the ultimate power suit for the working woman, but they also pull their weight after hours when paired with a silky cami and heels.A solid black pantsuit is the most flattering (head-to-toe monochromatic color) and the most classic. Look for a fabric with drape -- nothing too stiff or shiny -- preferably in wool (or wool with some stretch for comfort).
*NEUTRAL COAT
There's a reason timeless fashion pieces retain their popularity: they go with most things in your closet and transcend the trends. The neutral coat -- especially in a camel color -- is an enduring fall classic because it has so many possibilities.Shop for neutral-colored coats
*SHEATH DRESS
something edgy like a leather sheath
include knits, crepe, silk and menswear fabrics
Last but not least *Pearls
Feminine pearlsare the perfect trend-proof accessory to compliment the more structured styles of fall. Wear gray pearls with black for a sexy tonal look; or choose layers of creamy white pearls worn with a simple black sheath dress for a perfect cocktail dress look.
