Sunny days filled with bikini tops, shorts, and flip flops are dwindling down. Chilly nights are creeping in instead, and soon enough the leaves will start to change, accompanied by the much-anticipated aroma of pumpkin spice lattes. Yet the change in season brings with it a major change in style. The only question is, how can we stay ahead of the weather and prepare for fall? Stylish and versatile boots and jackets are going to be your best friends; stay chic and warm with a pair of cute booties and stylish moto jackets.

Autumn Booties

Classic BlackEveryone should have a classic pair of black booties to fall back on. A classy, sleek booty has just the right amount of detailing to stay simple but not at all boring. They can be dressed up with skirts or dressed down for cooler days in jeans. They will undeniably put a finishing touch on all your fall outfits. 

Track Soles Track soles dominated summer sandals this year and the popular style isn’t going anywhere come fall! Avoid tripping over your heels and keep your feet planted firmly on the ground with a pair of soft suede booties. Keep the color and style subdued enough to stay versatile. The treaded rubber sole will add a dramatic edge (that is totally functional and follow you straight into winter’s snowy and slippery sidewalks). 

HikersIf you want something that looks a bit more casual while staying trendy, look no further than a pair of leather hiker boots. The barely-there heel make these boots easy to wear, but the washed leather detail, stitching and laces will be sure to add character. Play them up with fun socks and skirts for warmer days, or throw them on with jeans for an effortless look.

Moto Jackets

Classic Black

The classic black jacket will be your go-to item all fall. It will toughen up your summer dresses as you transition from warmer days and give you an edge layered with your favorite jeans and sweaters as the days get cooler.

LinenGo against the grain with this lightweight linen moto jacket. You’ll be sure to stand out with this timeless yet refreshing piece. The style is simple and streamlined, but the texture, arm detailing and crisp colors keep it sleek and sophisticated. 

CottonStay warm with a bold-colored knit moto jacket! It’s an adorable layering piece that functions as a cardigan but with a lot more edge! Go with a super soft cotton material for a comfortable, yet versatile look.
