Brown Everything
On Wright: Frame sweater and skirt
"Brown is back in a way that we haven't seen in a while. The options are endless. Between boots, accessories, and clothing this season, you have many choices. Several designers featured head-to-toe looks down the runways, and brands are following suit. This is a trend I'm looking to add to my own wardrobe come fall." — Wright
Wide-Leg Jeans
On Wright: Frame jeans
"If you add one style of denim this season, make it a wide-leg jean. It'll switch up all your tops and jackets, and you'll feel modern and up-to-date. When the weather cools off, add your favorite boots and a cozy sweater for the perfect fall outfit." — Wright
Classic Wool Coat
On Wright: Max Mara coat
"Coats are a timeless staple that all of us need once fall rolls around, and finding a style that's cool and trendy sets the tone for your entire outfit! If you grab one early on in the season, you'll have a longer wearing time." — Wright
Anything Leopard
"A couple of months ago while traveling in the South of France, I spotted many stylish women wearing a touch of leopard print. It's a wardrobe classic that always looks cool, and whether you opt for a simple shoe or go all out with a dress, a leopard piece is definitely something to add to your wardrobe." — Wright
Blazer
On Wright: ACNE Studios blazer
"A blazer is an absolute must-have in our wardrobes, and this fall, I'll be wearing this slightly oversize one. The fabric works for all seasons, and it's a style that's versatile and always on-trend." — Wright
Leather Jacket
On Wright: Rag & Bone jacket
"The minute the weather starts to change, a leather jacket is the first thing I reach for to make an elevated, stylish outfit. It's one of the easiest ways to make your outfits look cool, and who doesn't want that?" — Wright
Next-Level Blouse
On Wright and her daughter: Frame blouses
"Finding tops with extra details, like feminine puff sleeves, will elevate all your fall outfits. Whether you wear them with your favorite denim or with a skirt, these are timeless pieces you'll have for years!" — Wright
