Three Looks for Fall
Trend #1: Eric - Mixed Pattern/Texture
J Brand Tyler jeans ($198)
Dark denim is a fall must-have
Minimal details - Denim without pocket detailing or noticeable stitching looks more polished and can be dressed up or down
Great for a casual workplace or for the times when you sill want to wear jeans but remain polished

Color is not a basic neutral like tan or gray but can still go with anything you put under it

To change up the look of a shoe, Greenwich Village can change the color of the sole

Trend #2: Andy - Navy/Black Monochromatic
Dark navy pant by A.P.C
French brand, so the cuts are more narrow with a European style

Faux noir chemise button down by A.P.C.
"Almost" black shirt
The the look is monochromatic - very business sleek and sophisticated

The outfit is great for work because it looks very professional and put-together but doesn't wear as a suit
