Autumn Dreaming: 5 Fall Looks We Love

Bye bye bare legs, hello hosiery. Herewith, five things on our fall wish list, from steal to splurge:

Until it snows, we’ll keep whizzing about on our bicycle. A hand-dyed backpack ($75) made by Brooklyn designer Shabd Alexander and reusable bag company BAGGU will do quite nicely. Robber, 863 Queen St. W., Toronto, 647-351-0724, http://robberstore.wordpress.com

Miuccia Prada is obviously a fan of the sock, and this season’s kooky knee highs ($160) have given the fashion folk plenty to yarn about. Prada, 131 Bloor St. W., Toronto, 416-513-0400, www.prada.com

When it comes to loafers versus ballerinas, it’s a flat out battle. Now, if all loafers were as cool as these A.P.C. moccasins, (US$385) there would be no contest. www.apc.fr

With his playful designs and mischievous sense of humour, Peter Jensen is one of our favourite British designers. We adore this mini-guardsman fabric ($475). Rac, 124 Cumberland St., Toronto, 647-352-4433, http://racboutique.com

We love the equestrian look and this jacket ($595) from Toronto’s Smythe is just too hot to trot. TNT, 55 Avenue Rd., Toronto, 416-975-1810, www.tntthenewtrend.com
