Strawberries and Cream: How to Wear Fall’s Sweetest Color Trend

September 2 Newsletter with Fun Finds and Save or Splurge

1. Spanx Wide-Leg Pull-On Jeans

A denim silhouette that’s having a real moment this fall, and Spanx’s version makes it effortless. High-rise, pull-on styling with hidden core-shaping technology and no bulky zipper or hip pockets, just a flattering wide leg that dresses up with heels or down with sneakers.

2. LL Bean Cable-Knit Cardigan Sweater

A true classic. This cable-knit cardigan has the kind of timeless, well-made feel L.L. Bean is known for. It’s a sweater you’ll still be reaching for ten falls from now.

3. Quince Mongolian Cashmere Crewneck Sweater

The kind of investment piece that doesn’t require an investment-sized budget. This crewneck is made from Grade-A Mongolian cashmere with a fine 12-gauge knit, giving it a soft, luxe hand without the bulk. The price point makes it easy to pick up in more than one color.

4. Chico’s No Iron Pocketed Tunic

A bestseller for a reason. The No Iron stretch-sateen fabric goes straight from the dryer to your closet looking crisp, and the shirttail hem with side pockets keeps it as functional as it is polished. Wear it buttoned over jeans or open over a tank.

5. Old Navy Quarter-Zip Fleece Pullover

This Old Navy’s Bounce Fleece has a smooth, soft finish that still feels lightweight, and the half-zip collar with drop-shoulder sleeves gives it an easy, relaxed fit that hits right at the waist. A great throw-on-and-go layer for cooler days.

6. Vionic Suede Ankle Bootie

Style meets support in this Vionic ankle boot. A synthetic upper with an easy outside zipper, almond toe, and a walkable 2.25″ block heel over a flexible EVA midsole make it the kind of boot that keeps you comfortable through errands, city strolls, or a full day on your feet.

7. Madewell Dashing Trouser

A wool-blend trouser in a subtle plaid, cut to sit low on the hips for an easy, slouchy fit that falls into a relaxed wide leg, the kind of pair you can wear with everything from a sweater to a blazer.

8. Lightweight Cashmere Scarf

Cloud-soft cashmere with variegated stripes and softly frayed edges. This is a scarf light enough to wear indoors but warm enough to matter once the temperature drops.

9. Athleta Jogger Pant

Made with Sculptek Light fabric for full coverage and stretch in every direction, this high-rise jogger has a no-dig waistband and secure back zip pockets. It’s built for the workday commute as easily as a weekend errand run.

10. Talbots Charming Cardigan in Leopard Print

An airy pointelle knit in modern leopard print, cut to hit at the hip with a classic crew neck and button front. Lightweight enough to layer now and still work once the weather turns colder.

11. Comfortable Ballet Flats

A go-to flat belongs in every fall lineup, for days when boots feel like too much but sneakers feel like too little. Available in many colors.

12. Cashmere Cable-Knit Cardigan

For those ready to splurge on one true forever piece, this cashmere version of the cable-knit classic delivers. Elegant cable detailing, and the kind of soft, luxurious feel that only gets better with wear.

A Few Shopping Reminders

Before adding anything to your cart, ask yourself three questions:

Can I wear it with at least three things I already own?

Is the fabric comfortable enough that I will actually reach for it?

Does the length work with my favorite pants and shoes?

If the answer is yes, it is probably a smarter buy than another “special occasion” piece that lives in the closet.

And remember: you do not need to dress like anyone else. You only need clothes that help you feel comfortable, current, and like the most polished version of yourself. A little structure, a flattering length, a good shoe, and one interesting detail can go a very long way.

The best fall wardrobe is not the biggest one. It is the one that makes getting dressed feel easy.
