Double the Fun
With so many great trends surfacing this fall, why limit yourself to just one? We found 10 amazing pieces that manage to combine not one but two of this season's hottest looks.
Metallic + Fit-and-Flare
Taking inspiration from two of fall’s most popular trends for night, this black metallic fit-and-flare skirt is a definite need for nightlife. Part of the covet-worthy collection of Kirna Zabete for Target, this flirty piece will instantly solve your what-to-wear-to-all-my-holiday-parties dilemma. You can top it with everything from a tank or T-shirt to a silk button-up or slim-fit cashmere turtleneck.

Lace + Smoking Slipper
The smoking slipper is the hot flat for fall, and these fashionable ones are even trendier in an of-the-moment lace. Let them be a frilly finish to jeans and a simple cashmere sweater for an afternoon walkabout. At night, slip these on with black leather leggings and a tuxedo jacket, or a flirty fit-and-flare dress. P.S.: The hint of metallic makes this shoe a triple trend threat.

Oxblood + Statement Skirt
Oxblood (a deep, dark and delicious red) is a hue of the moment that’s making its way onto everything, most spectacularly on this statement skirt—another of fashion's current fascinations. Pair with a slouchy cashmere sweater or chic sweatshirt and kitten heel pumps or low-heeled booties. At night, switch to high heels, swap the sweater for a luxe slim-fit tee and add a faux fur cropped jacket.

Leopard + Shopper Tote
The tote of the moment is a sleek leather shopper and Zara has taken this IT bag to an even trendier place by adding leopard—the animal print of the season—into the mix. This will be your grab-and-go bag for work, weekend and everything in between. It will instantly upgrade jeans with a T-shirt and flats, or add spice to a business-ready black shift dress and heels.

B&W + Biker Jacket
Mango’s contrast biker jacket is ready to rev up your wardrobe. The black-and-white high contrast movement, which is all the rage right now, is all over this piece. Toss it on with a black-and-white gingham button down and black pencil skirt to further the light/dark dance, or wear it daily with skinny jeans and a T-shirt.

Military + Peplum
One of the strongest trends for fall is the peplum, and this flirty and fun style is a must for any modern wardrobe. Military is also having a major moment this season, and this coat makes chic allies of these two trends. The shape is perfect to pair with slim bottoms like skinny jeans, pencil skirts and maxi skirts, but will also look great over the ever-popular wider-leg cropped trousers.

White + Doctor’s Bag
White—be it creamy or bright—is so right now for both clothing and accessories. This season’s structured handbag of choice is the doctor-style satchel, and American Apparel has combined the two into its Everyday Bag. A no-brainer for day, this tote is also well suited for a night out when there’s no time—or desire—to swap out your bag.

Red + Velvet
Fashion came down with a serious case of scarlet fever this fall, and designers also delivered a sumptuous supply of velvet. So walking that fine line between casually cool and refined, these red velvet skinny jeans will definitely work overtime in your wardrobe. Wear by day with a boyfriend sweater and sneakers, or dress up for night with a black silk top and pointy toe pumps.
To buy: MIH Mid-Rise Velvet Skinny, $200
Western + Knee-Highs
The Old West was a well-played theme in some of the coolest fall collections, and the knee-high boot was high on the list of designer favorites for footwear. Mango’s sleek black knee-high wedge boots have fringe detail, giving them a decidedly frontier effect that effortlessly brings together these two trends. Wear with skirts and shorts or slip them over a pair of skinny cords.
To buy: Mango Fringe Leather Wedge Boots $280
Checks + Boyfriend Coat
The check—an it print for fall—meets its style soulmate in the trendy boyfriend coat. Touted as the coat shape of the season, this variation from Topshop is made from a warm and cozy wool blend and boasts a green and charcoal color check pattern with contrasting solid charcoal sleeves. Take a look from ho-hum to haute by throwing this coat over everything from pants to dresses to skirts to sweats.
