THE SHOES
Low-heeled (read: walkable) pumps are back in a big way this season — and on into fall, too. These Metallic Sieria kitten-heel pumps are the perfect complement to any look, from basic jeans to a bold party dress. Much like Aurela’s versatile white pumps above, these metallic heels play well with most ensembles — and the best part? They’ll pair perfectly with that LBD (little black dress, obviously) come New Year’s Eve. Aldo | $90
THE SKIRT
A classic midi skirt never goes out of style. Whether you opt for a bright, cherry-hued version like Aurela has done above, or prefer something a tad more muted, it’s a piece that can easily be mixed and matched with seasonal wardrobe staples all year long. This Twik cotton midi skirt in red adds a retro twist when worn with sneakers and a T-shirt, or dress it up come wintertime with a soft, cashmere, turtleneck sweater and ankle boots. Simons.ca | $39
THE BAG
Top-handle bags are one of the hottest silhouettes this fall. Whether you opt for a superstructured version like the strawand-leather bag Aurela sports, or something a bit more soft like this leather “Lady Bag” by the Torontobased brand ela Handbags, the clean lines and understated style add an effortless polish to any outfit. Bonus points for picking up a bag in a neutral hue that can be worn on repeat all year long. elabyela.com | $485
