The “It” Hat
WIDE-BRIMMED HATS
With a tip of the hat, this chic chapeau adds instant cool-girl appeal to just about any outfit. We love this menswear-inspired topper best in an unexpected pastel.

The “It” Bag
LADYLIKE BAGS
Top-handled bags have had a strong hold on style for decades. The demure framed bag of the ’50s continues to evolve each season; this time, the clean lines are livened up with vibrant colour blocking and exotic finishes. Nail Trend: Red Rules Kooky nail art is still having a moment, but come fall nothing is chicer than a glossy red mani. “Trends come and go, but red nail polish is a staple for anyone’s mani wardrobe,” says Rita Remark, lead nail artist for Essie Canada. Orange-red is perfect for warmer skin tones, while those with cooler colouring should try blue-based reds.

The “It” Bracelet
BLINGED-OUT BAUBLES
(Opposite page) During the summer months, we saw a reduction in largerthan-life statement jewellery. But with fall now in full swing, it’s time to bring it back into heavy rotation. If you’re feeling the more-is-better approach, be a wrist taker and stack on a few. Nail Trend: Matte Nail Polish Skip the nail art and go for an unexpected yet surprisingly flattering finish: matte. Rather than buying all new shades, Remark suggests picking up a mattifying topcoat: “Switch out your usual topcoat for Essie Matte About You ($10, essie.ca) and your classic polish is now a contemporary fashion statement.”

Nail Trend: French Twist This season, the French manicure is updated using two-tone polishes in contrasting colours. Remark created this modern combo for the David Dixon and Wes Gordon shows. “It’s a great way of wearing on-trend nail art without going out of your comfort zone,” she says. Our model is wearing Essie Nail Polish in Fall in Line and Style Cartel, $10 each, essie.ca.
The “It” Necklace
CHUNKY CHAIN CHOKERS
(Opposite page) A captivating throwback to ’90s hip hop, the chunky chain choker is making a return this fall. The weighty piece has the power to elevate a conventional outfit to ultra-luxe. For a real statement, try stacking a few chains on top of one another—and don’t be afraid to mix metals.

The “It” Boot
WEDGES
One of our favourite things about fall is welcoming a new pair of boots into our wardrobe. Luckily, this year’s most covetable style is a sturdy pair of wedge boots. These fashion-meetsfunction, height-raising boots are made for walking (well, maybe not dog walking) and look great in all styles— booties, kneehighs and thigh-highs.
