Distressed denim (on denim)
This trend is definitely still going strong – and color us obsessed as ever. Double up on trends by styling a pair of distressed jeans with a chambray shirt; try tucking it in for a more work-appropriate ensemble. Next, complete the look with shiny metallic booties, like the ones pictured above, to keep the style fab and fresh.

'70s-inspired peasant blouse
The '70s-inspired peasant top is one of those quintessential styles that's both laid-back and luxe. Choose a style that's cold-shoulder or has a bell-shaped sleeve; who says you can't still show a little skin just because temps are cooling down? Show off your stems in a pair of wide-legged jeans or bell bottoms. Swap those sheer festival favorites for a pair in luxurious velvet, and you'll be good to go.

The A-Line Skirt
These earthy shades easily create the perfect transition pieces for our slow segue into pumpkin spice season. Plus, say what you will about the socks and sandals trend (seen all over the Spring 2016 runways at Fashion Week in NYC and Milan), but we are loving it. So cute! So easy! No need to always take style so seriously.

Boxy clutch or satchel
Or, replace your clutch for a cross-body bag to accessorize with that air of cool nonchalance all fashion bloggers and It-Girls just so happen to exude. Best accessory, if you ask us? Confidence. Next best? A metallic cross-body bag, that's for sure.
