Wearing white after Labor Day is a total Do in our book. A crisp, collared shirt is a timeless classic that makes you look polished and put-together, no matter what time of the year. But a long, hot summer can leave your whites looking dingy and gray by autumn. To tackle any stains or discoloration in your favorite white shirts, check out our #DroppsProTips here!

What better way to complete an outfit than with a fun, trendy jacket? Fall calls for lots and lots of layering, and just one jacket can be paired with countless different outfits to create complex, fun, and funky styles. Fashion stylist Wendy Patterson shows you how here!
PRINTED TIGHTS

Just because the warm weather is ending doesn’t mean you can’t still wear your favorite sundresses or shorts—just put on a cool pair of tights underneath to keep you warm without sacrificing style. To help preserve your tights and prevent any rips or tears, it is best to hand wash them, inside out, with a small amount of gentle detergent, and lay flat to dry.
BOOTS

Make your fall fashions pop with a sparkly statement necklace! Chunky jewelry can dress up any outfit—from a t-shirt to your favorite wool sweater. Try J.Crew Factory for some fresh styles that won’t break the bank!
FUZZY FLANNEL

Keep warm in the chilly weather with a flannel button-down. Wear it alone or layer it with sweaters or tanks to lock in that heat. To keep your favorite flannels as soft as can be over time, skip the fabric softener when you wash as it can leave a film buildup on the fabric. But if you can’t get enough of those lovely floral scents, try a mineral-based scent booster that won’t clog your clothes’ fibers!
