I’m a big fan of layering on cold-weather ensembles, and this season, the rise of the maxi cardigans is a welcome addition to a cozy, chic winter look. They look amazing worn on top of skinny jeans, or body-hugging dresses.

Whether you go with a floor-grazing length or a something that hits the middle of the leg, cardigans are going long and looking fab this fall and winter!

Top 5 Timeless Fall Essentials

by Brooke Hyden on Oct 21, 2011 in More Than ShoesBe the first to comment!

I’m a firm believer that a good fall wardrobe needs a solid foundation. These timeless pieces become the building blocks for the rest of your outfits season after season.  Having go-to staples that defy fads and trends is the key to having a truly versatile wardrobe.

Here are my top 5 fall essentials that are worthy of investing in:

CLASSIC COATS:

You can’t go wrong with a classic belted trench coat and a tailored peacoat. They’re both timeless and instantly pull together your entire look.

Left: MICHAEL Michael Kors Double-breasted Trench Coat

Right: DKNYC Double Breasted Peacoat

BLACK ANKLE BOOTS:

The equivalent to a little black dress in the footwear department, black ankle boots are a must-have for every woman.

Left: Via Spiga Sheri

Right: ALDO Elks

COZY SCARVES:

Scarves are a great way to add color, pattern and/or texture to any outfit. I like to stock up in them to change up outfits throughout the season.

Left: Yarnz Playhouse Scarf

Right: Fossil Annabelle Solid Infinity Scarf

STRUCTURED HANDBAGS:

A structured bag adds a classic, ladylike feel to even casual ensembles!

Left: Cole Haan Ludlow St. Addison Satchel

Right: MICHAEL Michael Kors Hamilton Large North/South Tote

DARK WASH JEANS:

Jeans are an obvious staple all year round, but when done in a clean dark wash, it gives any outfit a more polished, pulled-together appearance. Invest in great-fitting dark wash jeans in a variety of cuts like bootcut, skinny and flare.

Right: Hudson Beth Baby Boot in Chelsea
