Fall is the perfect time for mixing older closet favorites with new items for a fresh, stylish look.

First up in the line of autumn “must haves” is leather. Beyond the biker jacket, leather is showing up in trousers, jackets, straps and belts along with fullleather dresses.

This season’s leather is luxurious and alluring, in colors from intense reds and purples to Kelly green and sultry nudes. Glossy for evening or subtle matte for day, pick the perfect pieces to accent your wardrobe.

Sweaters this season are diverse with many colors appearing from black, gray and beige to shades of pink and vivid colors such as emerald, blue and red. Materials are mixed and details include everything from feathers to fringe.

Harper’s Bazaar’s number one tip on their “10 Tricks to Update Your Style” is to pair a high-volume top with slim pants. It’s time to reignite a love affair with the sweater.

A little closet reboot will keep you on-trend and chase off the winter chills. [AWM]
