If I had to define my personal style in two words, it would be "elevated simplicity." I gravitate toward pieces that feel timeless, well-made, and easy to style. My ideal fall outfit usually starts with something simple like a slouchy sweater with lived-in denim or an oversize jacket paired with micro shorts. Then, it's time for the real fun: accessories. This season, that means sleek boots and quiet-luxury bags that make even the most pared-back looks feel intentional and expensive.
That's exactly what drew me to Staud, a brand I first discovered through its viral, intricately beaded bags that seemed to be everywhere a few years back. But what really hooked me was its selection of elevated everyday accessories that make getting dressed easy and never boring. While I was scrolling through the collection at Saks, I couldn't stop thinking of outfits to style with the bags and boots. The sleek, sculptural silhouettes and buttery leathers and suedes manage to feel classic while bringing a subtle wow factor to any look. Below, I've rounded up the Staud finds I can't stop thinking about—honestly, they're making a strong case for a little fall wardrobe refresh.
Ankle Boots
When I'm getting dressed for dinner or a night out, these are the types of boots I find myself reaching for. They have a chic feel without sacrificing comfort, making them the perfect choice for dressing up an otherwise casual outfit.
Knee-High Boots
My jaw dropped when I saw the Wally 90MM Suede Foldover Boots ($695). I think they're genuinely my dream shoes. Knee-high boots are a must for me when it comes to fall styling. Whether I'm wearing micro shorts, a miniskirt, or a dress, you can bet I'm adding a tall boot.
Bags
I was gifted the Ollie Leather Bag during the holidays last year, and it's easily become my most worn (and most complimented) bag of 2025. It somehow works with everything—jeans and a tee, a dress, and even office looks. Staud just knows what it's doing when it comes to bags.
More Must-Have Picks From Staud
Because I couldn't stop at just boots and bags, here are a few more Staud pieces that deserve a spot in your fall lineup. These are all perfect for a night out or dinner look—I can already picture myself wearing every single one (with a pair of Staud boots, obviously).
