J.Crew's Jenna Lyons picks her six must-have fall pieces
Oversized sweater
A big oversized
soft sweater in
a luscious colour like
mustard, cantaloupe
or emerald green.
Available at Jcrew.com.
Chambray shirt
If you don’t already
own a chambray
or denim shirt,
make sure you have
one. It’s a critical
absolute and has
to be in everyone’s
wardrobe.
Available at Jcrew.com.
Coloured pant
A pair of
coloured pants
that suit your body
type — high-waisted,
wide-legged, skinny,
man-tailored or
cropped.
Available at Jcrew.com.
Longer skirt
Find one that’s right for your
body type — it could
be a circle or pencil
skirt, but things are
going below the
knee and getting
longer and softer. The
proportional shift is
very important.
Available at Jcrew.com.
Leopard print
A leopard-print
something. Ideally
shoes, as they have
nothing to do with
whether you’re having
a fat day or a skinny
day and add that
little flash.
Available at Jcrew.com.
A crisp shirt
You're not necessarily buying a new one, but just taking your shirts to the cleaners or pressing them. Forget that sloppy, wrinkled look and pull on a crisp one.
