The pockets of time between seasons tend to be the most exciting for our editors. We have the chance to get creative and do what we do best: brainstorm new outfit ideas. Now that summer’s peak has passed and the warm weather is winding down, I wanted to touch base with my fellow editors Eliza Huber and Allyson Payer to see what they’re most looking forward to wearing this fall. Red ballet flats, denim miniskirts, and leather jackets were some of the items tossed around, but we also shared tips on where we like to shop for these classic pieces. We were all on the same page about one place in particular: PAIGE. This shop is our go-to for versatile and stylish clothing and accessories. After taking just one look at their latest fall drop, we were able to come up with three outfit combinations that are perfect for transitional dressing, when the weather isn’t too hot or too cold. (And we already agreed that we’ll be layering these looks with cozy scarves and knitwear the second the cold-weather season starts to settle in.) Keep scrolling to see what we came up with.
“For me, there’s no easier, chicer outfit than a simple white top and black trousers. To add some color to the look, I added a pair of patent-leather oxblood ballet flats that are as comfy as they are cute. This outfit would work for post-work drinks at a cool new bar, dinner at a French bistro, or a daytime lunch-and-museum date with friends. They’re the kinds of pieces you have for life and wear often. I never want to have to work hard when I’m getting dressed, and these fall essentials do all the heavy lifting.” — Eliza Huber, senior fashion editor

“No matter what’s going on with the denim trends during a given season, you’ll always find me in a pair of straight-leg jeans. They look polished and work for every single fall occasion. At 5’4” I struggle to find jeans that fit perfectly, but these fit like a dream. The weather this time of year can be unpredictable, but PAIGE’s plethora of versatile pieces can prepare you for whatever the weather is doing. Jeans, kitten heels, and a chic jacket is such an elegant outfit combination, and I could see myself wearing this outfit for all of the travel I have coming up this fall.” — Allyson Payer, senior fashion editor

“I live in Los Angeles, and the fall season doesn’t reveal itself until around late October, which means I can get away with wearing a denim miniskirt. The dark denim is what caught my eye on this piece, and it really is the perfect length. I styled it with a crisp white long-sleeve shirt and sleek black loafers to help the look feel more polished and put-together. The best part is that when the temperature inevitably drops, I can layer the look with a crewneck sweater and tights to smoothly transition the outfit into fall. These high-quality, foundational items are just one of the many reasons why I love shopping at PAIGE.” — Raina Mendonça, associate editor
