For the warmer days, try an all-over print or an unexpected pop of color and design. From small details to all-over designs, sophisticated to funky and fun, INA has pieces that are sure to ease you through the transition to fall.
Black and White Print Dress by Rag and Bone $275
Fall/Winter is a great time to bring out your textured pieces and play with formal fabrics, as seen on Alexander McQueen's Fall Winter 2013 runway. Our current obsession at Ina Men is three piece suits, and mix and match suit separates. INA currently has an extensive collection of formal attire in a range of fabrics from velvet structured blazers to drop shoulder mottled wool.
For men, it's time to invest in a good vest, elevating a day-night suit into a more sophisticated and interesting outfit.A pop color blazer will work for men as well as women this season, with texture being one of the key details for mix and matching blazers and pants. Go for something velvet, mottled wool, tweed or cashmere to prevent an unfavorable suit separates situation. Anything too close in color and texture can ironically look like an accident, so dare to wear strong stand alone pieces.
No outfit is complete without fitting footwear. For classic black tie attire, opt for an updated patent shoe. For a sporty take on formal wear, small details such as the elastic band on the Undercover dress shoes below add personal style to an ensemble.

Fall for Forever.
It was a welcomed surprise to see soft pastels in a sea of white on the runway for F/W 2013, a season mostly reserved for dense dark wools and thick horse hides. To make winter white more approachable, I've selected a few pieces you can wear season after season. These staples mix and match the extreme sophistication of black and white, with small details that give each of these classics a twist.
All month we will be featuring Fall of the Future, a highlight of trends from the runway with corresponding pieces from INA's continuously growing fall collection.
Here is this week's trend, Fall for Forever.
Proenza Schouler Celine
A delicate approach to both menswear and womenswear, clean white was presented with other neutrals in silhouettes that are both classic and edgy.
A white jacket is arguably the easiest implementation of Fall's white palette.
A new take on the New Look, this season's tailored pieces for men and women are perfect for those who know what works and want a new version of their past season favorites.
All looks featured are available in INA stores or online. Click the title to see a 360°.
Salvatore Ferragamo Patent Leather Woven Bag $725. Helmut Lang Cut-Out Blazer $350.
BLK DNM Double Breasted Blazer $313. Hermes Lazer Cut Silver Belt $675.

For a new take on a classic suit, mix eccentric trousers with a classic blazer, or vice versa.
As always, the men are having a great time at INA, with some special fall pieces hitting the floor and our online store.
My personal favorite, Damir Doma's sheer back one button jacket. A meticulously crafted collarless masterpiece, this cotton linen blend jacket is the perfect addition to any outfit. Easily cared for, you can always have it handy for an instant outfit upgrade.
