How To Buy Into Fall’s Biggest Trends Now
While designers will beginning to show their Spring 2018 collections this week with the start of New York Fashion Week, Labor Day weekend also signifies another fashion milestone: Fall 2017 pieces are officially in stores. And with the long weekend, what better to do than track down the season’s most covetable pieces? Luckily, we’ve broken down the key items you’ll be remiss not to have once the chilly weather sets in. Among the biggest must-haves? Chic, neutral-toned outwear, luxe lace-up boots, and ultra-modern top-handle bags. And don’t forget the extras: multi-colored stone that play into the season’s tapestry trend, and earthy scents that match the browns and rust colors that dominated the runways. Here, the must-have pieces to buy now.
