Fall is a special time of year. The leaves change colours, the air is crisp and the scent of pumpkin spice wafts out of every corner café.

It’s also that special time of year when you say good-bye to your summer clothes and ease into winter-wear. So, how do you transition while also staying on-trend? With these fall fashion wardrobe essentials, of course!

Patterns

Accepting our bodies and dressing to accentuating them is IN. And, with the unpredictability of Canada’s fall weather, layers are definitely your best friend. This year, argyle is back and there are so many ways to wear it.

Where to find: Net-A-Porter or Farfetch

Colour – Really Reds

Mirror the colour of fall leaves, and be the apple of everyone’s eye, with this vivacious hue. Ruby red and deep burgundy are perfect for the season.

Where to find: Lululemon’s carnation red Storm Brewing Jacket or the Asymmetric Duffle Coat from Dress Lily.

How to wear it: we love it for the outdoors. Make a statement before you even walk through the door.

Accessories

Masks are in. And most brands have joined in to make it the it-accessory. Whether you’re grabbing curbside takeout or at the gym, it’s a great way to show a bit of flare.

Where to find: on Hudson’s Bay you’ll find masks from many of your favourite brands in a variety of styles and colours. A few of our favourites include leopard or camo print, denim, houndstooth, plaid and even sequins.

How to wear it: Literally everywhere!

Material

Fall the season to really lean into tweed and cashmere. They are perfect for the cooler, crisper Canadian fall weather, no matter where in the country you live. Think of a tweed suit à la Jackie O. It’s timeless and comes in warm seasonal shades. Cashmere is a soft and light, yet warm material that is great for cooler weather when parkas aren’t quite needed… yet.

Where to find: Saks Fifth Avenue and Club Monaco

How to wear it: Layer them together or wear as separates depending on the occasion. These are more work-wear or event-wear (but if you want to wear it grabbing groceries or running errands, we certainly won’t judge).
