Summer season coming to an end, ready for a wardrobe refresher? Velvet, date-night tops, terrific toppers, fall florals, skirts, these five essentials lay the foundation. Pick your favorites, add into rotation, mix well, and repeat all season long.
Velvet // A star on the fall runways, this addition is a quick route to incorporate the '70s-glam trend in a way that reflects your personal style. Whether it's a jacket, pants, or even a handbag, we're insisting on anything and everything velvet.

Date-night Tops // Add a few to your closet with lovely lace, poet sleeves, and just the right amount of skin-revealing cutouts. They'll dress up even your most basic denim for a date night( or cocktail hour, or girl's night, or anything special, really).

Skirts That Move // The body-con silhouette makes way for a more free-spirited shape ready to swish, swirl, and sway. Counter the fullness by styling with fitted tops and jackets.

Fall Florals // This season, designers celebrate nature's bounty year-round with florals blooming against a dark, deep ground. Be it a wallpaper-print denim or a berry-toned blouse, the more ornate and feminine, the better.
