If there were such thing as “soulmates” in the world of fashion, boots and jeans would definitely be it. These fall wardrobe essentials work so perfectly side by side, that we are convinced one can never have too many of either.

Pair skinny jeans and leggings with ankle boots—whether it’s flat combat boots or a dressier heeled version. Skinny jeans also work well with knee-high boots for those chillier days.

If you prefer boot cut or flared jeans, an ankle boot with heels is a great way to go.

No matter how you pair them together, these two key fall essentials are our favorite style no-brainers!

If you think corduroy is something that belongs back in the ‘70s, think again! Cords are popping up all over the place this fall, from jeans to handbags to shoes. Corduroy has an uncanny ability to embody the fall season, especially when done in rich fall hues like browns and plums.

Here are some of our current favorites:

1. Blank NYC Five-Pocket High Rise Flare Cord:  Infuse a little bit of retro flair with these leg-lengthening high-rise pants. They go perfectly with this season’s platforms shoes!

2. Lucky Brand Montana Avenue Patchwork Tote: We adore the patchwork pattern on this lush and gorgeous bag.

3. Sperry Top-Sider Acklins Boot: There’s something so outdoorsy-cool about these cozy boots.

4. AG Adriano Goldschmied Jegging Cord: The quintessential skinny jeans, done in plush corduroy for fall.

5. Vans Cheer-Reyo Hat: For those days when you just to be out the door, this stylishly plush newsboy cap instantly adds a dose of cool.

6. Levi’s® Sherpa Cord Jacket: This classic jacket is just at home in the city as it is in a quaint log cabin!

Flare jeans are one of the hottest trends for fall, and for good reason! If you’re looking for overall versatility in a pair of jeans, you can’t go wrong with a pair of flares. I love them paired with the season’s hottest platforms and wedges!

Whether you’re going for the boho look, or an edgy and party-ready look, there are a ton of different flare jean options out there to suit every style.

Airline tickets: check. Room reservations: check. Packing for that long-awaited getaway vacation: well, that may need a little more thought!

Few things get us more excited than packing and planning outfits for a fabulous trip. Our Zappos stylists have picked out some key pieces to complement each of the different activities you’ll surely be partaking in during your vacation, from a nice dinner date to sightseeing, each of these stylish and cohesive looks will have you basking in vacation bliss in no time!

Night Out

A flowy printed maxi dress, like the BCBGeneration Pleated Maxi Dress, is the ultimate go-to piece that instantly adds an effortlessly chic presence. Keep your footwear sleek and minimal when going with a busier print like this. We love a gladiator flat sandal like the Cole Haan Deandra Gladiator. A simple ALDO handbag in a neutral hue and some bold red jewelry like Lucky Brand Expedition Red Coral Earrings and Lucky Brand Cross Culture Bangles make this down-to-earth date look a real hit.

Beach/Pool Day

To really bring out a sunkissed tan, try wearing a white bikini like the Ella Moss Sahara separates. A pair of minimal T-strap sandals, like the Lucky Brand Georgia, gives a more sophisticated look than your average rubber flip flops. Of course, you’re going to need something to carry your beach essentials in. The Big Buddha Mission Bag is a pretty version of the classic beach straw tote, perfect for keeping your magazines, sunglasses, sunscreen, and everything else you need for basking in the sun. Don’t forget to protect your hair and face with a laid-back Steve Madden straw hat.

Around Town

For a day of sightseeing, pick cute and comfy pieces like the Steve Madden Flutter Ruffle Top and AG Malibu Bermuda Shorts. If flats aren’t your thing, try a pair of platform wedge sandals like the Nine West Bottos for a good combination of stability and height. Keep yourself hands-free all day with a crossbody bag like the Fossil Tava. A dainty Fossil bracelet and MICHAEL Michael Kors La Palma sunglasses finish off this charming look for exploring the town.

Airports

Last but certainly not least, planning comfy yet stylish outfits for the airport and plane is essential for the trendy traveler. A flowy top, like the Brigitte Bailey Sarienne Cinched Tunic, is a great option. Wear it over comfy black leggings like the Culture Phit Natalie. A pair of flexible flats is essential for traveling because it’s not only comfortable, it’s easy to slip on and off at security checkpoints. Again, we highly recommend a roomy crossbody bag like the Aldo Santomenna. This keeps your hands free and your tickets and other essentials at close reach. When choosing luggage, pick something that’s easy to spot at baggage claim. Try a printed and/or brightly-colored one like the Anne Klein Around Town 20” Expandable Rolling Suitcase.

With a little planning and the some key pieces, you’ll ensure a stylish and comfy vacation without having to worry about what you’ll wear from day to day. Remember to keep the weather in mind as well. Check the weather forecast before you start packing. Happy travels!

Every spring, closets everywhere collectively rejoice at the arrival of a fresh crop of spring trends. This season, some of the most sought-after looks revolve around two beloved prints: florals and stripes. It's not hard to see why fashion lovers the world over continuously turn to these style staples season after season. Florals capture a youthful femininity that’s both classic and fresh. Stripes on the other hand, capture a crisp, clean aesthetic that gives a nod to a classic nautical look. If you’re on the more fashion-forward, adventurous side, why not mix these two prints together? Go for a bold floral paired with more subdued stripes, or vice versa!

The first ensemble above is the perfect specimen of boho casual. The comfy and utterly pretty Lucky Brand Catalina Floral Top billows over a pair of slightly slouchy and totally of-the-moment AG Ex-Boyfriend Shorts.  A pair of Sam Edelman Louie fringed ankle boots complements the relaxed, flower-power feel of this whole look. Of course, the nice pop of red comes via the luscious and versatile Nixon Look Back Satchel handbag.

The next floral look takes things up a notch with the sweet and sexy BB Dakota Geraldine dress. Its lingerie-inspired sweetheart neckline and pretty pleated tiers add an even more seductive allure to the fresh floral print. The minimal Aldo Dalgleish peep toe pumps add serious leg-lengthening power to this ensemble; who wouldn’t want that extra boost? Finally, the versatile Fossil Maddox Convertible Hobo, in a darling shade of baby pink, really sweetens up this head-turning outfit.

Moving on to stripes; the next ensemble is a fun and colorful take on the trend. The oh-so-comfy Splendid Variegated Stripe Tank Top is saturated with summery goodness.  Its lightweight pima cotton/modal fabrication makes it the perfect tank top for those hot days by the pool. Pairing this tank top with the Pure & Simple High Waist Short Skirt instantly dresses up this otherwise casual look, while still keeping you cool and comfy. A hobo handbag in cobalt blue, like the Cole Haan Village Maya Hobo, really adds a playful pop of color. The cute and sassy Madden Girl Klenn wedge sandal finishes off this summery look perfectly.

Now to a more classic interpretation of the stripes trend, this easy-to-wear Ella Moss Bella striped dress gives a modern touch of nautical, without being too literal. It’s the perfect spring/summer dress to slip on for comfy, effortless style. A bold red bag or clutch really pops against this sleek backdrop. The Aldo Silverton clutch is a chic choice for those summer parties. A pair of cool espadrille wedges like the sky-high Aldo Sholette gives this look a very “party at the Hamptons” vibe. Finish off this nod-to-nautical ensemble with the beautiful Lucky Brand Peace Corps Red Thai Butterfly Bracelet to mirror the red hue of the clutch.
