Back-to-school and dipping temperatures can only mean one thing — it’s time for fall fashion. We asked Jeanne Beker to pick the season’s three must-have items to give your autumn wardrobe the perfect dose of style.
DENIM DAZE
A) BOMBER CHIC
“We all love a bomber jacket, but we don’t often see one in denim. I love that it’s worn in and faded.” IntermixOnline.com, $345
B) PRETTY IN PINK
“This is a very classic denim jacket, except that it’s pink. So it’s very fresh and feminine and unexpected.” TheBay.com, $128
C) DOUBLE DUTY
“I love the faded denim on the jacket, and the ivory knit sleeves add a touch of class to it.” HoltRenfrew.com, $1,605
LONG AND LUXE
D) WRAPPED IN RUFFLES
“I love this wrap skirt with ruffles, which are huge for this season. This whole voluminous look is a great trend.” TheBay.com, $340
E) RAVISHING RUST
“I really love this pleated skirt. There’s something very slimming about it, and this rust colour is beautiful.” IntermixOnline.com, $825.50
F) LOVELY LIZARD
“This lizard print is cool, and I love the colours and this high waist, not to mention the front and back slits.” TNTFashion.ca, $136
BEAUTIFUL BOOTS
G) PATENT PERFECTION
“I really love these Rag & Bone boots. They’re like a cross between a cowboy and a lace-up boot, and they’re very cool.” SportingLife.ca, $431.94
H) BROGUE MEETS BOOT
“These McQueen boots are stunning. They’re a hybrid leather brogue and a combat boot, and they’re very funky.” HoltRenfrew.com, $409
I) RED-Y OR NOT
“This little red bootie is adorable. I love the platform, and this red is going to give a great boost to any outfit.” TheBay.com, $340
