Is it just me, or does fall bring out our most aspirational selves? Suddenly, I want to sip cider, stroll through a farmers market, and look effortlessly pulled-together while doing it. The good news: This season’s styles are cozy, flattering, and versatile — whether you’re heading into a meeting or out to dinner. I’ve been on the hunt for pieces that make me feel polished and comfortable (a must), and I found a few I’m genuinely excited about.
From bold plaids to romantic lace to chocolate-brown everything, here are some of the looks I’m loving right now, from three brands I’m a huge fan of. These are the outfits I keep reaching for on crisp mornings when I want to look like I tried…without actually trying that hard.
Argent
Argent makes beautiful, professional-looking clothes that feel modern and cool, and manage to look unique on everyone. I love this plaid silk dress, which I wore with an Argent blazer. But if you throw a chunky sweater on top instead, suddenly it becomes a cozy fall outfit you can wear anywhere. Use code KCM15 for 15 percent off your purchase.
Cartolina
I discovered Cartolina this summer when I visited their shop in Nantucket, where I fell in love with their fabrics and sophisticated styles. Their silhouettes are super lovely, and they get that most of us want clothes we can wear all day without tugging or adjusting. Lace is everywhere this fall, and this skirt can go from the office to a nice dinner in no time. The sweater I wore with it is longer in the back, which is so flattering!

L’Agence
I’m obsessed with everything L’Agence. They have great jeans and wonderful blazers, but since chocolate brown is all the rage lately, I’ve been wearing this lacy top with jeans and boots, and it’s somehow feminine but sporty at the same time. It feels stylish and a tiny bit sexy, but still like me. Use code KATIE for 20 percent off this collection of my favorite styles.
