Editor’s Picks: 5 Fall Looks We Love

Leather, layering and the reinterpretation of history’s best style trends. We’re falling for fall fashion with these five items to add to our wardrobe wish list.

It is too early talk toques as a necessary head topper, but a jaunty hat helps talk the edge off the fall chill. Anthropologie’s verdant fields cloche hugs the head and bells out with 1920s elegance all tied up with a matching wool bow. $58 at Anthropologie, www.anthropologie.com

This season’s Goldilocks of denim is Gap’s 1969 slim trouser jean. It is looser than the skinny jean but not quite as wide as the trouser. Instead, it is a just right silhouette that is fitted and flared in all the right places. $89.95 at Gap stores, www.gapcanada.ca

Luxe layering comes easy with the right blazer. Amsterdam brand Scotch & Soda’s cropped jacket in an all-over floral pattern create a prim and polished outfit. $225 at Scotch & Soda, www.scotch-soda.com

Tote all of your technology in Sarah Shell’s 442 McAdam media bag with separate pockets for your iPhone, iPad and computer. Embossed Italian leather, gold-plated steel hardware and a lambskin strap make it a grown-up version of your back-to-school backpack. $340 at www.442mcadam.com

John Fluevog’s Notting Hill boots were made for walking, or browsing British bookshops hoping to stumble across Hugh Grant. Their almond-shaped toe, side zipper and leather heel lifts make for comfortably classic footwear. $449 at John Fluevog, www.fluevog.com —Jaelyn Molyneux
