#TheLIST: Falling For the Upcoming Season

From leopard outerwear to structured pieces in soft hues, the upcoming season calls for putting unexpected twists on the classics.

Wild Things

Outerwear with feline motifs is a total "cat-ch" for fall. Channel street-style stars Pernille Teisbaek and Miroslava Duma and spring for an animal-print coat that makes any outfit's perfect finishing touch. Add red accessories and sleek boots for good measure.

On the Spot

 Cooling Trend

Oversize, slouchy, and off-the-shoulder, the puffer jacket was the standout coat at shows like Balenciaga, Stella McCartney, and Marques'Almeida. Up the cold-weather staple's fun factor by going for one in a bright color.

Girl Gang

Look no further than models Liya Kebede and Maartje Verhoef to know which leather pieces to invest in for fall. Their cooler-than-thou off-duty style includes studded moto jackets and pointy, low-heeled booties.

Red-Hot

Ditch the little black dress in favor of a longer silhouette in a scarlet shade. Wear it with bohemian extras—a fringed bag and tall suede boots—for maximum impact.

Frock of the Ages

Sultry Eyes

A highly pigmented metallic cream shadow is an easy way to create glamorous smoky eyes. Tap it onto the center of your lid and blend out into the crease, then apply two coats of black mascara.
