Fashion to Fall Back On

Like clockwork, crisp air demands a new grounded dress code.

On the heels of summer's bright colors and abbreviated hemlines comes a new crop of sophisticated styles for the shifting seasons. From Chanel's unpretentious tweeds to Prada's cozy Shetland wools, autumn's prints, fabrics, and silhouettes are equally at home in the serenity of nature as on the bustling streets.
