Fall for Mixed Medias

Fall is arguably the most exciting season for the fashion obsessed. The crisp air and slight breeze begs for layers of boiled wool and pebbled leather over light pima cottons and coated linens. Finally, we can wear more than two of our favorites at once. This is the perfect time to play with textures, whether it be a wool vest over a leather jacket, or a new pair of cashmere tights under the mini-skirt that even the coolest fall day can't make you put away for next summer.

At INA, we're all about mixing our favorite knits with harder fabrics like leather or paper thin fabrics such as nylon. Even better is when a designer does the work for us. The pieces shown below are pieces from our stores that effortlessly mix medias or add texture to an otherwise simple fall staple.

Rick Owens Ivory Flannel Cowl Neck Shirt $250

Raf Simons Black Wool Gathered Blazer $320

Paul Smith Black and Green Leather and Knit Jacket $585

All Available at INA Men and INA Online by clicking the item name.

Sometimes all it takes to make you feel fantastic is the right pair of shoes. Whether on a budget or on the prowl, a new pair of shoes can be all you need to mix up your current go-to outfit, and can get a lot of mileage for your money. The Prada hiking boots shown above are sleek and adorned with all the bells and whistles you'd hope for, and yet also the promise to get better with age.

Prada Black Leather Buckled Hiking Boots $385 at INA Chelsea and on INA Online

Rick Owens has created the cocoon coat befitting of the most exotic butterfly. Covering the collar with a high shoulder closure, this cashmere wrap coat's slim arms and slightly a-line body make for a strong silhouette while the seam detailing is an indulgent close-up.

Best of all, it can be worn over anything. Whether to dinner over a dress or to work over trousers, you'd probably even wear it at home with the AC on because it is so soft, you'd never want to take it off.

I love to buy accessories when I'm budgeting because they are a blessing in a myriad of ways. Since I tend to lean towards black in the fall with sporadic periods of charcoal or navy, I love these accent pieces that add a complimentary pop in an otherwise monochromatic wardrobe.

Fall for Something Special

A week out from Fashion Week, and all of the details need be in order. For starters, which shoes will see which show? What jacket for which row?

In the game of fashion, your accessories are your secret weapon. Turn one of your season essentials into a statement piece by opting for an unorthodox fabric or pattern. Whether you live for layers and layers or for streamlined simplicity, the accessories showcased this week can be your starting point or your something extra.

There's Yves for everyone at INA this fall, from stiletto ankle booties to fingerless fur gloves, our consignors have been supremely generous in their supply of show stopping pieces.

Now you can shop what you see! Click the item names and prices to shop our website, or shop in-store where items are listed.

YSL Fur Fingerless Gloves $425 YSL Suede and Fur Bag $850

Chanel Quilted Bag $1,050 Proenza Schouler Snakeskin Heels $156 YSL Suede & Fur Bag $650

YSL Black Leather Booties $650 YSL Textured Leather Bag $620 Alexander Wang Velvet Boots $350

Another subconscious obsession is skin and fur in accessories. If you are investing in an accessory, why not indulge in a little fox or python? The Derek Lam stole at INA Nolita is a steal and a versatile luxury that instantly turns up any piece layered beneath.

An unexpected bag makes for a playful touch, whether a functional every day bag in neon python as shown below, or a retro day purse adorned with detail, there is no easier way to add excitement to your outfit than a courageous carry-all.

People say men don't have as many options as us women, but I disagree. At INA, Men seem to have the pick of the litter, with leather bags ranging from Downtown day bags to Hamptons weekenders.

Since the days of Back to School, we have associated fall with crisp air and a fresh smart start. This translates to the way we dress even now as suited adults. Rich earth tones compliment each other easily whether leather or canvas, formal or workwear, and look especially vibrant against the fall's evolving colors. Accessories, whether functional or flamboyant, are an integral part of your day. Strong shoes, whether wingtips or riding boots, prove fit for the modern dandy or the conservative gentleman.
