In this daydream, there’s a smoldering hot latte in my hand, I’m window shopping and I’m holding on to my husband’s arm. Somewhere like…I don’t know, Boston or New York. As an homage to the way I’d love to be dressing this month and next, I’ve rounded up a few of my favorite fall style looks, just for the sake of some fresh inspiration and escapism.

3. The wide-leg trouser topped with a chunky knit:
Even if you’re working from home this fall, you can’t ever go wrong with a wide-leg trouser. On days when you’re feeling freedom over form, a chunky knit is the perfect topper to your fashionable sack-like slacks. Accessorize with a vest or coat, and either sneaks, pumps or booties for a finishing touch.
