As summer comes to a close, a quiet closet anxiety is settling in. After an event-filled season celebrating all the lovers, mothers, and anyone else in our lives wearing the party hat (and looking damn good while doing it), we have approximately $0 left to fund our fall fashion cravings. BUT, it’s rumored to be the most luxury coded ladies-who-lunch aesthetic fall… what is a girl who wants to be mistaken for an Olsen twin to do?! Fear not, because we’ve rounded up our most aspirational autumnal designer wants and found their fraternal twins–sans the hefty price tags.
Studded bags
Studs are back in a big way and miss Khaite has stolen our hearts with the studded version of the beloved Elena Bag. Luckily, we’re in good company with these other studded beauties that won’t make quite the same dent in the checking account.
Tote bags
Chocolate sueded tote bags have entered the chat and thank GOD they’re here. We wish we could throw The Row Bindle Small Suede Tote Bag over our shoulders, but these cocoa boho bags are hitting the spot right now.
Denim chore coats
Leave it to Loewe to take the traditional denim jacket to a novel and elevated place with the Collared Denim Trapeze Jacket. We’ve done some digging to unveil a suite of other denim chore coats that will get the job done (or that literally look like you got the job done).
Loafers
Loafers are here to stay, which means another season of the timeless Prada Leather Triangle Logo Loafers $1200 taking home the crown. If you love the look but can’t quite commit to the investment, slip your feet into one of these similarly chic and classic pairs.
Boots
Western-inspired boots are continuing their victory lap this fall paired with dresses, skirts, or tucked jeans. The taupe Isabel Marant Denvee Suede Boots have our attention, but we found more sueded shades we’re loving just as much.
What’s in our medicine cabinet
We will never sop pursuing beauty to the fullest extent of the law, and the following contestants are keeping us aglow right now. Some trend forecasters warn of the matte look seeking vengeance in the upcoming months, but we stay slathering and dewing it until further notice.
And one last note - we know the weddings never end. Trust us, we know. Just when you think the season is done, we know another save the date is making its way to your mailbox. If you’re looking to get styled for your next nuptial, reach out to us either by DM (@tthe_look) or via email and we’ll help you win the best dressed award.
