Cool weather is coming. Is your closet ready?
Pumpkin spice season is upon us. And we’re here for all of it: the crisp air, the packed social calendar, and a wardrobe refresh that makes us excited to layer up. This season, we’re investing in a few key pieces that are as versatile as they are chic. Working with a few pieces that can go seamlessly from your desk to dinner with your girls, we’ve created the ultimate autumn look cheat sheet. Here, see just how easy it is to take new staples from day to night, with a few pieces from the timelessly elegant brand M.M.LaFleur. Bonus: Each is styled into two unique outfits that will have you feeling stylish all season long.
A classic ensemble—a midi skirt and tee as the base—is a go-to for every season. The flowy, A-line Orchard Skirt by M.M.LaFleur is universally flattering and comes in 8 colors. In machine-washable silk, the skirt is not only luxe but practical, too, because sometimes (oftentimes!) dry cleaning is just too big an ask. Pair this modern floral with the brand’s curve-hugging Soyoung T-Shirt, made of buttery soft Pima cotton. Complete the look a neutral carryall, and pumps for the office or knee-high boots for nighttime.
Break your blazer away from its matching set to make this outfit look instantly all-business. Further add polish with black pumps and give a nod to the pearl trend with a simple pendant. With a PSL in one hand and a structured leather tote in the other, you’ll be ready to crush fourth-quarter goals and power meetings.

Come Saturday, pull together a cozy-cute look to meet friends at the wine bar or your fave brunch spot. Drop a dome satchel in olive green next to your seat and settle in for hours of gabbing with a slouchy, cropped cardigan that’s all kinds of comfy and will keep you warm if a breeze blows through the window. For added interest, put on a two-layer necklace set. This one’s a stunner, but don’t expect it to draw too much attention—your friends will be too busy asking where you got those the knee-high cognac boots peeking out from under the table.

A blouse and black pants are closet workhorses. Stretchy but structured, the Foster Pants are wrinkle-resistant and have a hem you can adjust to make them cropped or full-length and other thoughtful details that go way beyond basic. And even though they’ve got a tailored fit that goes from work to party, they are just as comfy as your yoga pants. Complete your style with the Tatum Top, made of washable silk that drapes elegantly tucked half-in or completely out.
For the 9-to-5, pull a fisherman cable-knit sweater over the blouse to combat chilly office temps, and let the collar and cuffs stick out. Ballet flats, diamond studs, and a chain-strap purse are the finishing touches for an effortlessly chic (but always comfortable) style.

It’s date night, and this dynamic duo is nothing short of stunning—especially when you add the right accessories. Show off your curves by cinching your waist with a wide obi wrap belt, and slip on strappy stilettos. A sleek cocktail ring doesn’t compete with any other details (it complements them!), and an oversize clutch has space for essentials, including candy-apple-red lipstick.
