The equinox has happened and Halloween is right around the corner! It must be fall. We have rounded up our favorite outfits from our year long luxury & sustainable capsule. 

 

Our luxury and sustainable outfits guide is perfect for that transition time when mornings are chilly but afternoons are warm, and they also show you how to style those fall sweaters we all love! 

 
 
 

Bright and bold, but still casual and comfortable. This outfit is the perfect combination of feminine and sporty. Perfect for sunny fall days when you want to take pictures with the leaves.

 

 
 

Minimalist chic. This is a perfect look for anytime of year and can be dressed up and down with weather and occasion. 

 
 

Fall spirit. These patterned pants are the perfect way to embrace the season and beautiful fall foliage. 

 
 

This look should be your casual uniform. Crisp white shirt. Black jeans. Comfy and dependable loafers. 

 
 

Subtle matching. The sweater and bag are very similar colors. It’s a trick I use to make my outfits look more put together. 

 
 

A more formal work uniform. It’s in this fall list because it’s perfect for layering and tights.

 
 

Transition look summer to fall. Take this perfect summer dress and combine it with fall colors. 

 
 

Sweater Weather! This look is perfect for these upcoming chilly days. 

 
 

For the more formal days at the office I’ve paired this ultra chic Gabriela Hearst Jacket with the SDress wide leg pants. 

 
 

Doesn’t matter the season, a smart dress never goes out of style. I’ve paired this cornflower blue dress with loafers and a fringy cardigan for fun fall dressing. Clothing even in a capsule should be fun.
