Step 1
Warm it up. The weather outside might be turning chillier, but your wardrobe should be warming up. Instead of cool hues and bright colors, switch your palette to nature-inspired shades--think autumnal brown, gold, sage green and deep blues (nothing's more gorgeous than a fall sky).

Step 2
Add texture. Mixing fabrics can be a great way to cozy up to fall. Take the cami that you were rocking all summer and add a chunky-knit cardigan, or add a cabled vest over your crisp, white shirt. Look for a new skirt in tweed or plaid, grab a fitted jacket in lush corduroy and trade in your linen trousers for a pair in wool.

Step 3
Glitz it. Your palette is getting more muted, and to balance that out, don't be afraid to add a little sparkle. Get a scarf with flecks of silver or gold; add a sparkly, chunky necklace or a bracelet in hammered metal.

Step 4
Step into boots. Boots are an eternal fall staple, so be prepared to spend a little extra because good ones will last you forever. Choose a boot with luxurious leather and a stable heel. Not loving heals? Opt for Uggs, the flat-soled sheepskin boots that are always on the fall and winter hot lists.

Step 5
Cover up. A new fall coat is the ultimate luxury, and while the trends change drastically year to year, some silhouettes never go out of style. Opt for a bright trench that fits you perfectly and a wool pea coat for colder weather, and you'll be set for years to come.
