Fall fashion is all about mixing bold choices with classic looks this year — hot hues, crisp whites, leather and fur. Caught in fall’s winds of restraint, designers returned to their heritage and tweaked their greatest hits — camel coats at Hermes, skinny pants at Stella McCartney and Sartorialita tailoring at Dolce & Gabbana — for a fall fashion season of smart, classic clothes.

Fall fashion must-have: The bootie

Booties are hot this year. Pair them with tights, skinny pants and skirts for a chic ensemble that can go from day to night. Make suede your fabric of choice this year in shades of grey, rich burgundy and cool camel. And don’t worry about spending a lot of cash, Aldo, Banana Republic, the Gap and Spring all have great fall shoe options. Check out our slide show of the shoes!

Fall fashion must-have: The coat

The classic Burberry military style coat might be out of your price range (starting at $3,500!), but what is key for the fall coat is the shape and structure. Think about belted waists for a more ladylike look and big buttons, zippers and leather for this season’s hot military look. Get inspired by runway looks here:

Fall fashion must-have: The skirt

The skirt makes a comeback in fall fashion. The key message? Volume. Louis Vuitton flaunted the female for in circular shapes, Michael Kors flirted with A-line versions and Yves Saint Laurent swung in trapeze styles. Length? Most hemlines fell below the knee, so play the prim card! Here are some of our favourite fall skirts:
