The Look: White Socks
Jacquemus Les Chaussettes Cotton Socks
“Every cool person I know has been rocking white tube socks. I’m so done with no-show socks always falling down,” says Jeanne Yang, who styles Keanu Reeves, Jason Momoa, Taika Waititi and Simu Liu. They just don’t work and there’s nothing like a comfortable pair of white socks, whether you’re wearing penny loafers or sneakers.”
The Look: Ultra-Sheer Tights
Calzedonia 8 Denier Ultra Sheer Tights
“Sheer tights are elegant, sophisticated, and a delicate way to elevate fall-winter staples. Pair them with your favorite two-piece set or a long dress and boots for an effortlessly cool look,” recommends Mimi Cuttrell, who works with Gigi Hadid, Ariana Grande, Lily Reinhart, CJ Perry, Madelyn Cline, Lukas Gage and Normani.

The Look: Sharp Suiting
Veronica Beard Hutchinson Dickey Jacket
“Suiting is everything as people go back to work. Veronica Beard has an amazing updated belted blazer and matching pants,” says Dana Asher Levine (Shonda Rhimes, Michelle King, Dana Goldberg). “Not everyone can wear the oversized blazer, so this is a great way to get the look with a cleaner fit.”
Veronica Beard Arte Pant
Brunello Cucinelli Ribbed Wool-Flannel Blazer
“Crisp, clean lines and beautiful silhouettes have never looked better or more refined,” says Tara Swennen, who works with Kristen Stewart, Ali Wong, Allison Janney, Idina Menzel, Chloe Domont and Matthew McConaughey. “Classic jackets cinched tightly at the waist, structured suits, and bold shoulders are everywhere!”
The Look: Red-Hot Hues
ALC Ayden Sweater
“I’m loving bright red tops to wear with jeans or a leather pant to give you a pop of color,” says Jessica Paster, whose clients include Emily Blunt, Aubrey Plaza, Miranda Kerr and Rhea Seehorn.
Ferragamo Tailored Trousers
“From leather to velvet, this fiery classic color swept the fall runways,” says Swennen. “Add a touch of color to your look with punchy, poppy red accessories or go all in with matching separates. Swap out your LBD for a red dress paired with red accessories for a head-to-toe monochromatic moment!”
By Malene Birger Trullem Belted Wool Coat
“Whether it’s a rich burgundy, fiery crimson, or deep cherry red, this passionate color will add a touch of drama and confidence to your winter wardrobe,” says Phillipe Uter (Noah Schnapp, Meagan Good, Teri Hatcher).
The Look: Get the Boot
YSL Vendome Boots
“Knee-high boots are very big for fall. Add tights and pair with an oversized sweater and longer skirt or a tweed mini dress,” explains Jessica Paster.
Khaite Knee-High Boot
“Boots — tall boots, leather boots, cowboy boots — are the trend. They can easily be transitioned from day to night for the person who is always on the go,” says Cristina Ehrlich.
Ganni The Davis Boot
Celine Bulky Lace-Up Boot
“This season, it’s all about the chocolate brown combat boot. It’s like the softer side of black. You can wear these boots with jeans and a great blazer or a leather jacket as well as a knit skirt or knit maxi dress,” explains Dana Asher Levine, stylist to Shonda Rhimes, Michelle King and Dana Goldberg.
Tory Burch Double T Combat Boots
The Look: Classic Trench Coats
“Always timeless, never out of style. Pair a trench coat with blue jeans or a fabulous mini dress,” suggests Linda Medvene.
Everlane The Cotton Modern Trench
Loewe Double-Breasted Belted Cotton-Silk Trench Coat
“I love a classic trench and, given the new climate conditions, we are sure that ‘when it rains, it pours.’ A very functional luxury item to wear for many years,” notes Julia von Boehm (Nicole Kidman, Uma Thurman, Laura Dern).
The Look: Cozy Knit Maxi and Midi Dresses
“Ease your way into winter by wearing warm, but still comfortable, non-constricted knit dresses,” recommends Julia von Boehm.
