20 Elevated Staples Taking Over My Fall Outfit Rotation

I just got back from a week in Paris, and let's just say my fall mood board basically curated itself. While strolling through the fashion capital, I noticed Parisians had already nailed the season's uniform: dark-wash denim styled to perfection, trenches, preppy plaids, and a steady rotation of elevated basics. September had barely kicked off, but fall was already in full swing—and while it still feels like summer in L.A., I'm ready to follow suit.

My seasonal wardrobe refresh goals are simple: investment-worthy staples and a few standout pieces that will make the simplest outfits interesting. And of course, I'm turning to Saks to make it happen. Its Tanya Taylor collection is chic and versatile, and it has just the right dose of personality, which is exactly what my closet needs right now. The moment I spotted the Janet Plaid Jacket, I knew it had to be a part of my fall rotation. Keep reading for more of my favorite Tanya Taylor picks.

Tops

Tops are the building blocks of every outfit, but the best ones come with a twist (literally). From knotted details to playful silhouettes and textures, these picks turn everyday basics into standouts.

Bottoms

One major style takeaway from my trip: Parisians are living in denim, leather, and unique silhouettes this season. From slouchy jeans to polished midi skirts to sleek leather looks, these pieces channel fashion-forward energy straight from the streets of Paris.

Jackets and Sweaters

I already professed my love for the Janet Plaid Jacket, but honestly, this whole lineup has earned a spot in my fall rotation. These are layering pieces that will make every outfit feel intentional and give my wardrobe the flair it's been missing.

Dresses

These dresses are the ultimate mix of polished and cool. I've been on a maxi-dress kick lately, and while it may be too early to say this, the Lenox Sequined Slip Dress is already a strong contender for my NYE 'fit.
