Article content Fall fashion is all about transition. Long gone (sadly) are the warm days of summer, but the dreary days of winter have yet to fully settle in. That soft launch into colder temps allows for some fun with fashion pieces, seeing soft knits, chic sneakers and wear-everywhere toppers put into the wardrobe mix.

With an aim of adding effortless, wear-forever pieces to your closet, we’ve rounded up 10 fall fashion essentials to try on for size this season. Social media may be abuzz with the return of skinny jeans, but we’re still holding strong on denim styles with a roomier silhouette. You read it here first (hopefully): barrel jeans are going to be an ‘it’ silhouette this fall and winter.

The style, which features a high waist and a roomier-through-the-hip fit is an interesting alternative to a simple straight-leg style. We’re loving these 77 per cent cotton, 25 per cent lyocell-lend jeans from Canadian brand RW & CO. In the dark wash, they’re fit to go from work to weekend, too.

A wool jacket is a fall and winter wardrobe mainstay. This boxy-cut style from COS is a cool classic that features a waist-length, roomy fit that will allow for even your bulkiest of knits to fit underneath. The button-front design boasts two front pockets and is made from a soft double-faced wool material that’s crafted from a Responsible Wool Standard wool and Tencel Lyocell-blend.

It’s a perfect piece to dress up or down. Leopard is back — although there are some fashi.
