Skip: Gingham Print

Leopard print is everywhere this fall and whether you're in the "leopard is a neutral" camp or not, there's certainly something fresh and exciting about the statement style right now. Give your gingham a well-deserved break and opt for a chic blouse, slip dress, or statement accessories to lean into the trend.

Skip: Wedges

For fall 2024, it's all about sleek pointed-toe pumps and court shoes—a style that was seen all over the runways from Prada to Valentino.
