METALLIC MATERIALS not SEQUINS

A metallic piece adds a touch of glamour to your look, without overdoing it. This season, we saw designers present a wide array of metallic colors in new textures (beyond sequins) but at the moment, I’m really loving the copper, rose golds and pinks. It’s a fresh change from the typical gold and silver.

LEATHER CARGO MAXI SKIRT not LEATHER CARGO PANTS

Effortlessly incorporate the classic look of leather into your wardrobe in a fresh way. Whether paired with sneakers or heeled boots, a leather maxi is chic AF. And TBH so are the pants. But the skirt feels like a fresher option at the moment.

LACE LINGERIE DRESS not LACE MINI

Lingerie dressing is sexy, yet elegant — this look gives major Great Gatsby vibes thanks to the classic black and white palette and the modern cut of the slip dress. I love the combination of silk and lace for fall. What could be more feminine?
