It’s finally almost fall! Time for sweaters, and boots, and crisp weekend afternoons with friends and family. If your aim is to hit that perfect balance of relaxed, effortless, easy elegance, you’re in luck. There are some gorgeous new offerings out there right now. Here are some of the best pieces from the fall winter 2018-19 designer collections to take you apple picking, antiquing, hiking and beyond in nonchalant luxurious style.
Orange is the color of the season, and a great way to rock it is with this Calvin Klein Jeans parka in “orange tiger.”
Calvin Klein Jeans Parka – $321
Or you could go the cool-girl route with this edgy Sacai jacket over a pair of jeans. It’s a mash-up of military and utilitarian styles, pieced together from panels of wool-crepe and lustrous shell. The detailing includes polished gold buttons, clashing silver zippers and plenty of pockets for holding any treasures you uncover on your weekend escapade.
Sacai Paneled wool-crepe and shell jacket – $1,955
It’s cashmere sweater season, and we love Altuzzura knits — they’re lightweight, ultra-cozy, and well-designed. This season’s Arrow sweater is a classic that hits all the right notes. It looks lovely with a full skirt or jeans, and we love the narrow cuffs that keep the silhouette refined.
Altuzurra Arrow Cashmere Sweater – $995
This soft sage green FENDI knit is the perfect way to celebrate the arrival of sweater weather, too. It’s cropped and slightly over-sized; the zippered collar doubles as a cozy hood.
FENDI Sweater – $1,980
For a polished weekend look, stay with FENDI and consider the refined casual chic of this autumnal-hued bow-embellished top and leather skirt.
FENDI Bow-Embellished Check Top – $1,490
FENDI Panelled leather midi skirt – $2,890
Gucci ups the ante for the Dad sneaker with this new highly-embellished sneaker boot (it comes in three color-ways and the jeweled straps are removable). So whether you’re pursuing adventure by day or night, you’ll be good to go.
Gucci Flashtrek Sneaker with removable crystals – $1,590
A Bottega Veneta Intrecciato bag is a no-regrets purchase that will last practically forever — why not be bold and opt for this orange Olimpia? It’s both timeless and totally on-trend.
Bottega Veneta Intrecciato Weave Olimpia leather shoulder bag – $2,900
These yummy Saint Laurent buttercream lamb fur boots have chunky rubber soles in light caramel brown; they’d be perfect paired with skinny jeans and a cozy sweater on a late fall or winter weekend.
Saint Laurent Shearling Ankle Boots – $995

Luxury hygge looks like this: a generously-sized ivory scarf with embellishment and fringe from Saint Laurent.
Saint Laurent Fringed embroidered wool scarf – $1,195
Stylish types love Isabel Marant, and with good reason. When you head out into the great outdoors — or maybe just to the local pub — this shearling aviator hat will ensure that you stay warm while looking cool.
Isabel Marant Airy Shearling Aviator Hat – $480
A really great green is exceptionally hard to find, especially one that will look chic in both town and country. Mission accomplished with this luxuriously vibrant emerald gree velvet puffer from Moncler.

Chanel is launching its new Coco Neige line, devoted to and inspired by winter sports. It features gorgeous pieces like this large wool shearling shopper. Bring on the winter! We’re totally psyched now.

Last but not least, don’t forget the ear muffs! We love this soft sage green pair from Yves Salomon.
