Fall of the future is feeling more like the Fall of the present, as us New Yorkers are eagerly layering up as the temperature drops. Back to black doesn't mean back to basics, as we find that more of the same can add depth and detail to your seemingly basic ensemble.
The key to this weather seems to be layering, a jacket around your waist makes for an interesting silhouette during the day and a comfortable warmth at night.
While experimenting with some of our favorite INA pieces, we found that layering up also doesn't mean lacking a strong shape, and that there is no such thing as too many textures.
As fashion week is behind us, we are focusing on our fall favorites for now rather than our lust-list for next spring. Below you'll find some of our favorite pieces that will stand strong on their own or compliment your layered look.
Claude Montana Wool Coat with Bib Front and Hourglass Figure $950
Derek Lam Gray and Black Wool Pants $175
Both items available at INA Nolita.
This coat is on every female INA employee's wishlist, as it seems to instantly transform whichever body it adorns. A perfect hourglass may be every girls dream, and this coat makes it a reality.
Jeremy Scott x Longchamp Colorblock Tote $365 at INA Men and INA Online
Alexander Wang Pebbled Leather Darby Bag $550 at INA Nolita
Your bag can easily transform your outfit, but doesn't have to be the main attraction. Whether you want to carry your color, or just compliment your clothing, we've found that a great bag can be as bold or subtle as you choose and still make a statement.
Lost & Found White Apron Front Button Down $275 at INA Men and INA Online
Ralph Lauren Black Label Pocket Front Nylon and Knit Jacket $395 MVIO Curly Knit Sweater $120
Salvatore Ferragamo Cotton and Mohair Blend Curly Coat $550
When we're all trying to keep warm and choosing from wool and cashmere, it's easy to feel like your wearing a jumpsuit of fabric. To keep things interesting and break up a warmer look, opt for knits that have elements of other fabrics, or an unexpected texture. The Ralph Lauren Black Label jacket shown above is a great example of wearing knits over knits, but the nylon pocket covered front adds function and textural diversity. In a similar fashion, the almost mohair, slightly curly wool chosen for the striking Salvatore Ferragamo overcoat shown above means you can wear a full suit of grey wool beneath without looking uniform.
Kris Van Assche Fold-Over Leather Boots $325 at INA Men Balenciaga Plaid Skirt (Background) $450 at INA Soho

All black may seem boring to some, but the when the right elements are combined, it can be as interesting as any print or color. Waxed fabrics, textured pants, and small details can transform pants or a sweater into a fashion forward conversational piece.
Chanel J12 Marine Watch $3,300 Calvin Klein Collection Coated Wool Sweater with Neck and Side Seam Zippers $235
Yohji x Adidas LTD EDT Mesh Inset Sneakers $385
All items available at INA Men.
For those not ready to be fully covered, try some seasonal pieces that still show a little leg, and can be easily layered in the winter. The YSL sweater dress below can be worn now as is or later over skinny jeans or cashmere tights, while the pony hair boots add color and texture that both scream Fall.
Forest Green Celine Bag with Zipper Handle and Detachable Pouch $1,100 at INA Men
Stuart Weitzman Burgundy Pony Hair Booties $375 at INA Noho
