If we’re being honest, cropped tees and skater dresses are still the go-to for LA’s summery fall. Since Summer lasts forever here, you’re probably still dusting the sand off your crochet mesh beach tote. But if you’re anything like us, you’re also ready to live out those Gossip Girl and Sabrina the Witch-inspired Pinterest boards. Thanks to versatile pieces from knit dresses to trendy bolero sweaters, we gathered our 12 Fall Fashion Staples to slay this season.
Shacket (Part Shirt, Part Jacket)

Thin enough to stroll in warm humidity. Thick enough for crisp mornings and chilly evenings. Sporting a slight utility style, shackets often come in a button-down collar design, making them perfect for layering. From rugged leather to a cozy wool blend, shackets come in all kinds of styles.

A relaxed-fit trouser makes style effortless, whether you’re heading to the office or catching up at a lunch date. Rock a burgundy leather pair or one in satin with ruffles. For the ideal fall wardrobe, we recommend a pleated pair in black or nude to go with any piece and every occasion.

The beauty of a long skirt is that in the summer months, you can sport a satin one with a slit running up your thigh. You can also bring it into your fall wardrobe as a cashmere-wool blend in brown or nude. LA Girl Tip: Pair your long skirt with knee-high stiletto boots for the classic French chic style.

Bring dramatic hues to both your wardrobe and your makeup. Go full-on goth babe with matte plum lipstick, or layer on some berry gloss for a sheer fall pout. LA Girl Tip: Dab some lipstick on your cheeks and temples for a matching flush. For a dewy look, highlight your cheekbones and eyelids with your berry gloss.
