Not to Brag, But We’ve Mastered 3 Date-Night Looks You Need to Wear This Fall

As I sit here in the throes of a very humid NYC summer, I can’t help but dream about the cooler temperatures of a crisp fall day. We’re going to ignore the fact that I begged for warm weather throughout winter because it’s hard to live in the present when I’m always looking to the sartorial season ahead. Don’t blame me—blame my job (and the fact that my AC unit is on its last leg). But thankfully, we’re already seeing the release of fall collections, a signal that the change in season and a new batch of trends are near.

My mind is already spinning with all the fall looks I’m ready to style. I’m still on board with the “stealth wealth” aesthetic because the outfits require little effort to put together but result in very polished looks. The key pieces include luxe basics (such as the Khaite jeans below), pointed-toe slingbacks, and coordinating suit sets. No one accomplishes this vibe better than our associate director of special projects, Kristen Nichols, so I’ve tapped her to share three fall looks she’s shopping at Saks, including a chic desk-to-drinks ensemble and a pretty date-night outfit. Her looks prove that “less is more” is the only rule of thumb for fall dressing this year. Browse through the videos below and keep scrolling to see where Kristen would wear each look.
