The Look:

Veronica Beard Denim Jacket – A denim jacket is a fall must-have, and this one from Veronica Beard strikes the balance between relaxed and refined. Layered over a plain white tee, it creates an understated base that lets the rest of the outfit shine.

Sandro Pleated Mini Skirt – A playful yet polished mini that brings in pattern and movement. The pleating adds structure while the checkered print makes it quintessentially fall.

Alexandre Birman Brown Boots – Sleek and versatile, these boots ground the outfit with a warm, neutral tone. They’re the kind of investment piece that seamlessly transitions from day to night.

Staud Burgundy Bag – A pop of rich color ties everything together. Burgundy is one of the season’s most wearable shades, and this Staud bag adds just the right amount of depth.

This outfit blends casual and elevated elements, creating a look that feels effortless but styled with intention. The denim jacket keeps things approachable, while the structured skirt, polished boots, and fun bag bring sophistication. It’s the perfect example of how to lean into fall dressing with versatile pieces that work well beyond one season. Shop these and more at Saks!
