It’s officially that in-between moment when the air has just enough chill to justify a sweater, but not enough to make you fully regret leaving the house without a proper coat. Yep—mid-October dressing is the sweet spot for sweaters, boots, tights, and jackets.
As someone who lives for this kind of weather, I’ve been savoring the last of my fall wardrobe indulgences before winter inevitably forces a shift. From Dôen's romantic pieces to Toteme’s chic accessories and Loulou de Saison's effortless sweaters, the selection is both cozy and elevated. My favorites include the Elowette Polka Dot Silk-Blend Midi-Skirt, Ribbed Cashmere Gloves, Luke Wool-Cashmere Turtleneck Sweater, Cap-Toe 55mm Leather Knee-High Boots, and Medium Naplak Patent Leather Handbag.
So, before the temperatures drop for good, I decided to scroll through Saks Fifth Avenue’s fall edit. These are the pieces that stood out, capturing that point in the season where I can’t stop saying, “I’m not ready for winter.”
