Editor's Tip: You may or may not wear white after Labor Day, but you should certainly carry it. An ivory purse brightens up quieter autumnal tones, and fringe keeps it from fading into the background.

Editor's Tip: Knee-high socks and a feminine beanie keep a plaid skirt cold-weather appropriate. Toss on a simple black crossbody to complete the look.

Editor's Tip: Required on sunny autumn days: a perfect pair of sunglasses. Go for a pair that complements your hair color and isn't too harsh, like a tortoise shell brown.
