A “back to school” moment, if you will, but for adults. That said, being at the office doesn’t have to come with a sense of dread—sartorially speaking, at least.
Hourglass shapes were hot, hot, hot on the fall runways, from Emilia Wickstead to Givenchy to Schiaparelli. Sculptural blazers translate the trend into office attire, adding a sleek silhouette while still keeping you covered.
Sculptural Jackets
Store away your mesh flats and flip-flops—fall is the time to start protecting your feet from the elements. A kitten heel boot is the perfect transitional shoe that’s both chic and practical for your commute.

Optical eyewear dominated the fall runways, from Gucci to Calvin Klein to Stella McCartney. Whether you wear prescription or blue-light glasses, a pair of frames will elevate your office look and give you some serious sophistication.
Optical Lenses, No Prescription Required
Long, pleated shorts were a must-have for summer officewear—and they still are for fall. Style with a minimal belt and smart shoes (maybe a cardigan on cooler days), these shorts are the perfect transitional piece that also happen to still be office ...
Transitional Shorts
Oversized blazers and wide-leg trousers are essential office attire. Sleek and professional, these styles also offer a relaxed comfort that helps you stay focused throughout the day.
Relaxed Tailoring
From A. Roege Hove to Balenciaga, men’s belts were also all over the runways. This style is marked by simplicity: a minimal silver or gold buckle, black or brown leather, and that’s it. These belts can be paired with your favorite relaxed trousers, f...
Menswear-Inspired Belts
Suede started making its comeback last year, but this fall, we’ll be seeing more than ever. The rich, soft texture is perfect for a fall work bag as the weather turns colder and your mindset cosier.
Suede Work Bags
Polka dots also had their moment over the summer, but who says they can’t transition to fall? Polka dots are one of those patterns that are both cute but office appropriate—classy, yet quirky.

It’s almost time to put away your raffia tote and lobster-embellished shoulder bag: fall is almost here. Sure, it might not feel like it (anyone else still sweating?, but peak weather for dressing your best is close by, and we’ve got the bags to carr...

Embossed Skins
Last season, Bottega Veneta debuted an east-west clutch, and this season, even more cropped up in collections from Chanel, Courrèges, and Victoria Beckham. Even if you’re already on the wave of east-west shoulder bags, get ready to swap those in for ...
East-West Clutch
If there’s one animal print you’re going to see a lot more of, it’s zebra. Leopard has dominated the markets, the streets, and the social feeds (and it still will, don’t get us wrong). Zebra, though, is the refreshing comeback we’ve been predicting f...
Zebra Takeover
After a surprising uptick in summer burgundies, we’ll surely see even more wine tones as fall begins. Oxblood, dark cherry, and maroon will be popular wardrobe choices, as will be other jewel tones like emerald green and citrine orange.
Burgundy Babe
Have you ever owned luggage so darling that it felt like a shame to only use while traveling? That’s precisely the mood of the nécessaire trend. While Louis Vuitton took a more trunk-like approach, Victoria Beckham and Hermès went with more jewelry c...
Grand Hôtel Trunk Bag - Maison Goyard
It’s a little hard to describe this style of bag, but you know it when you see it. It’s reminiscent of old-school coin purses with kiss-lock closures, but it didn’t feel dated on the runways at Rokh, Prada, or Gabriela Hearst. These structured, parti...
