The Fall 2017 wardrobe staples have arrived and we’re seeing a lot of vintage inspired faux fur, comfy oversized sweaters, plaid prints, and knot-tie tops. Los Angeles tends to get a little chilly during the months of November to February, and although the drop in temperature isn’t drastic, it is important you are fashionable and prepared for the cooler months ahead.
Below is a list of the top staple pieces you will need this season. These pieces can be mixed and matched with what you already have in your closet for effortless, and trending outfit combinations. The trends for this fall are emphasized by comfort, minimalism, and attention to details.
-Tops-
Knot-Tie Tops
A knot-tie blouse is a staple this season as it has been revamped by adding design detail through the addition of a knot that creates a tie or a bow.
Volume Sweaters
Volume sweaters are essential for lazy days as they comfy, stylish, and easily paired with other clothing to add versatility.
