Fall doesn’t whisper. It deepens the palette, reshapes the silhouette and brings a little more weight to the wardrobe.
As the first day of autumn approaches, we’re outlining the style statements shaping it: regal purples, supple suedes, confident skirts and vintage-inspired mixes. This season, unexpected details meet ’70s and ’90s nostalgia, but nothing feels borrowed.
With the perspective of local business owners and associates, we’re skipping the background noise and focusing on what we’re really flipping the pages for: the looks.
“The ARMA coat is the one-and-done piece from our fall collection. Put it over anything and you are instantly pulled together. It can also lean western or more classic, and it is a color that looks good on a lot of people.” – Angela Strauss, Barbara/Jean

HERMAN MILLER Nelson coconut lounge chair from EVO BUSINESS ENVIRONMENTS.
“You can tell a lot about someone’s personal style based on their interior and workspace. If someone’s home is modern, bright and busy, it is likely that their personal fashion style is bright and bold. If their workspace is clean, organized and uses muted or earthy tones, it is likely that their style is classic, elegant and timeless. We tend to reflect our personal taste not only by what we wear, but also in the spaces we inhabit. This is why when we see a certain color, pattern, furniture piece, etc., we can associate it with someone in particular and often say, ‘this [__] is so you.'” – Breanna Padilla, ASID Allied, Designer

KNOLL Barcelona chair from EVO BUSINESS ENVIRONMENTS.
“Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe in 1929, the Barcelona Chair is a timeless expression of his famous ‘less is more’ philosophy. Rather than concealing its structure, the chair celebrates it by pairing an exposed frame with leather straps and simple tufted cushions. With extreme attention to proportion, materiality and craftsmanship, Mies van der Rohe was able to create a timeless piece of furniture that still maintains relevance nearly a century later.” – Ashley Crawford, EVO Business Environments
