Neutrals With Nuance | New From Madewell

Fall fashion is all about rich textures, deeper tones, and pieces that make layering easy. Madewell’s latest collection of new arrivals is full of those effortless staples that blend comfort and polish, so they’re perfect for easing into the new season. Whether you’re refreshing your wardrobe or just adding in a few key updates, here are a few pieces worth checking out next time you’re in the store.

If you love pieces that do the work for you, the Zip-Front Flutter-Sleeve Midi Dress is an easy win. The soft print and fluttery sleeves give it a romantic feel, while the zip-front detail keeps it modern and practical. It’s a dress that transitions seamlessly from brunch to date night, or even layered under a light jacket for cooler days.

Pair it with the Sculpted Metal Wristlet Bag (a standout accessory that adds a pop of richness), and the Remy Mary Jane Flat. The mix of textures and tones brings warmth to the look without overcomplicating it. Altogether, it’s the kind of outfit that feels put-together yet completely effortless. Add in a lightweight wool coat or denim jacket for an extra layer when it’s cool.

For something a bit more casual, Madewell’s Short Puff-Sleeve Cardigan is a cozy essential that adds just the right amount of detail. The slightly puffed sleeve gives a subtle nod to vintage style while still feeling current. Try it with the Vintage Flare Jean in rinse wash; the structured denim gives this silhouette that timeless, flattering shape Madewell is known for.

To finish the look, the Dimes Chelsea Boot adds a polished, everyday touch, and the Dakota Saddle Bag ties it all together with that effortlessly cool, lived-in vibe.

Whether you lean toward feminine florals or laid-back layers, Madewell’s latest lineup has something for every style. These pieces are versatile, well-made, and meant to be worn on repeat—exactly what Fall dressing should be.

Fall Style Guide | Corduroy Pants at Anthropologie

Blog

Fall fashion is all about texture, warmth, and pieces that can carry you through the season in style. One fabric that always makes a comeback this time of year? Corduroy. Soft, structured, and endlessly versatile, corduroy pants are the perfect foundation for your autumn wardrobe. Anthropologie’s new pre-fall arrivals showcase this classic fabric in fresh silhouettes and rich colors, making it easy to create looks that feel both on-trend and timeless.

If you’re looking to add a new pair to your wardrobe, here are two ways to style them this season.

Whimsical & Dressy

For those days when you want your outfit to feel polished yet playful, start with the Izzie Relaxed Pull-On Barrel Pants in a stunning burgundy hue. The modern barrel-leg shape feels fashion-forward, while the deep color makes them perfect for autumn evenings.

Pair them with the Layla Long-Sleeve Appliqué Mesh Blouse, a top that adds just the right touch of whimsy with its dreamy appliqué details layered over airy mesh. The contrast of soft textures against rich corduroy makes this pairing perfect for dinner plans, seasonal celebrations, or simply dressing up your day. Add platforms or heeled booties and a structured bag, and you’ve got a look that’s effortlessly chic.

Classic with a Twist

If your Fall style leans more classic but you like a bit of fun in your wardrobe, try the Rylan High-Rise Flare Jeans in a warm rust shade. Flares are a timeless cut, and this pair offers just the right mix of vintage-inspired and modern style. To balance the sleek silhouette, try them with the Niki Bubble Sweatshirt.

At first glance, it’s casual and cozy, but the bubble sleeves and playful duck motif add a dose of personality. Complete the outfit with suede boots, loafers or sneakers for an easy weekend-ready look that’s both comfortable and stylish.

Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or keeping things casual, Anthropologie’s pre-Fall collection has something for every mood and moment. Corduroy pants are the season’s must-have piece, and with silhouettes ranging from flared to barrel-leg, there’s a style for everyone.

Dresses for Every Mood at Anthropologie

Blog

Fall may be on the horizon, but that doesn’t mean you have to pack away the fun of dresses juuuust yet. Anthropologie’s latest pre-Fall arrivals prove that whether you’re leaning into playful prints or timeless, statement-making silhouettes, a great dress can take you anywhere.

This season they have so many standout styles offering very different vibes, but all bringing something special to your wardrobe. Here’s a closer look at two new favorites:

If your style leans flirty and feminine, the Puff-Sleeve Twofer Mini Dress is a must-try. With its sweet puff sleeves and whimsical horse print, this dress feels fun, fresh, and perfect for transitional dressing. The mini length makes it ideal for warmer fall days, with the elbow length sleeves adding a touch of coverage as the weather cools.

We styled it with classic loafers, ankle socks, and a slouchy crossbody bag for a modern, school-girl-inspired look that’s equal parts polished and playful. Top with a little jacket when it’s cooler and you’ve got an outfit that works for everything from brunch with friends to a day of shopping.

For those who love a look with a little more timeless elegance, the Somerset Maxi Dress: Long-Sleeve Chiffon Edition is the perfect pick. This best-selling style gets a fresh update in a stunning patchwork quilt print, bringing rich fall colors together in a way that feels both bold and timeless. The long sleeves and flowing chiffon make it a beautiful option for everything from special occasions to evenings out, while still being comfortable enough for everyday wear.

We paired it with Olive Drop Earrings and the cream Sonia Mini Slouchy Tote Bag to keep the focus on the dress’s statement print. Finish with neutral heels or ankle boots, and you’re ready to make an impression.

Whether you’re in the mood for something girly and playful or timeless and dramatic, Anthropologie has pre-Fall dresses to fit every style. Stop by to explore the full collection and find the pieces that’ll make you excited to step into the season.

Pre-Fall Must-Haves from Chico’s

Blog

As summer gives way to cooler days, it’s time to start thinking about transitional pieces that will help bridge the gap between seasons. Pre-Fall is all about layering, experimenting with textures, and building a wardrobe that feels both fresh and versatile. Chico’s new arrivals capture that spirit beautifully, with standout fabrics like suede, leather, chiffon, and tweed that bring depth and interest to your closet while staying effortlessly wearable.

Here are some of our favorite pieces to help you step into Fall in style.

If you love the ease of one-and-done dressing, Chico’s new pre-fall dresses are a perfect place to start. The Cheetah-Print Godet Dress adds instant personality with its bold print and flattering movement, making it ideal for workdays or evenings out.

For something a bit more streamlined, the Faux Suede Shirtdress is a chic option that balances softness with structure. Pair it with heels now and layer with tights and ankle boots later in the season for a look that transitions seamlessly.

Chico’s ponte pants are a customer favorite, and the Juliet Slim Full-Length Ponte Pants in cream are a must-have neutral for Fall. We styled them with the Embroidered Cotton-Blend Jacket, which adds a fun pop of color and texture to this polished look.

The result is an outfit that feels refined but still comfortable enough for everyday wear (and both pieces can be styled with so many other things in your closet).

Denim is always a Fall staple, and the Girlfriend Cropped Wide-Leg Jean is a fresh take that’s both relaxed and flattering. To soften the look, we styled them with the Floral Georgette Peasant Blouse, a breezy top that balances the denim perfectly.

Wear them alone or layer on the Faux Leather Blazer to tie it all together; the mix of textures creates a stylish contrast that feels modern and elevated.

From suede and leather to chiffon and denim, Chico’s pre-fall collection embraces the textures that define the season. Whether you’re dressing for work, weekends, or special occasions, these pieces will carry you through the changing weather with ease. Stop by to shop these new arrivals and start building a fall wardrobe you’ll love.

Must-Have | Chico’s Faux Leather Collection

Blog

No matter what your personal style is, you need a little (faux) leather in your wardrobe. Chico’s currently has a collection of buttery soft statement making pieces that are ready to take you from day to night. While it may seem crazy to think about wearing leather at the moment (hi 95 degree temps in Memphis), the official first day of Fall is just around the corner, so you don’t want to miss out on adding these stylish essentials to your closet.

There are a ton of faux leather pieces to choose from at Chico’s, but here are 3 styles that we think will be the easiest to incorporate into your wardrobe.

Faux Leather Blazer
You can never go wrong with a faux leather blazer in a classic neutral shade of black or brown. Pair with your favorite denim, or ground a lighter pair of pants with a classic tee and hills for a minimalistic, chic look.

Faux Leather Vest
An elevated 3rd piece, you can style your faux leather vest the same way you would your favorite knit cardigan. A simple long-sleeve tee layered under it makes for a classic look, or pair it with a gorgeous, abstract print blouse for an outfit that’s totally on trend.

Faux Leather Trousers
Leather pants will never go out of style, and their cropped version with a cutwork hem makes the look trendy and fashion forward.

Don’t forget the accessories! Chico’s is known for their statement making jewelry, and it compliments this collection so well!

Must-Try Fall Trends with Madewell

Blog

When I think of Fall, there are certain sartorial trends that will always come to mind: cozy knits, easy denim, and a touch of leather (amongst other things). Yes, we all have our own unique personal style, but I’d be remiss if I didn’t acknowledge that there are certain pieces/trends that should make its way into our wardrobes when the temps begin to cool.

Madewell’s current Fall collection is full of those quintessential pieces to add in, so if you were looking for a little style inspo, here are some of the must-try Fall trends.

Houndstooth Boyfriend Blazer
One can never have too many blazers, and a relaxed-fit, houndstooth blazer is a perfect layering piece to add in for Fall. Pair it with your favorite distressed denim to dress them up a bit, or give your corporate trousers a more “cool girl” fit by wearing it over an easy tank and finishing the look with chunky loafers.

Plaid Skirt
Skirts are alway fun, and this hunter green color screams Fall. Wear with a chunky turtleneck sweater and ankle booties for a classic Fall look, or pair with tights and a leather jacket for a style that’s a little more mod. If you want to dress it down and keep it super casual, wear it with a denim jacket/button down or sweatshirt and sneakers.

Chunky Knit Sweater
Is it really Fall if you don’t wear a chunky knit sweater at some point? You honestly can never have too many because they literally go with everything, but if nothing else, add in an off white/cream color to wear with all of your minimalistic pieces.

A touch of leather
Whether it’s a classic moto jacket or a pair of leather trousers, you need a strong leather piece to add a bit of edge to any outfit. Moto jackets go with everything, and leather trousers can be dressed up or down depending on how you style them.

Don’t forget your beanie!

Easy Flannel
Flannel is another Fall staple, but not all style are created the same. Go for a more soft, neutral color palette to avoid looking like a lumberjack, and use it as a layering piece over your favorite pair of denim on days when it’s still a little cool out.

Classic Accessories
Gold hoops and layering necklaces will NEVER go out of style, and you will always need a pair of neutral/tan colored leather booties to wear with all of your skirts, denim, and maxi dresses.

Fall is such a fun season for style expression, and Madewell is constantly getting in new products, so pop in to see what’s new!
