2012 Fall

Sure enough, the cool evening breeze is reminding us that it's time to start swapping out our tanks for light sweaters, sandals for ankle boots, and shorts for trousers. Club Monaco has all of that — and more. The latest lookbook is filled with dressing inspiration for the seasonal shift, and more importantly, pieces we can't wait to nab once they hit stores. Tailored wool coats, textural feathered vests, plaid trousers, and knit skirts — inspired by Scottish luxury, William Morris prints, and art nouveau — are just what we need to get into the cool weather mood. One major Fall styling lesson we culled from Club Monaco? Whatever you decide to wear, just put a beanie on it. Sift through the lookbook and see our top three looks below.

• We're enamored with this tailored navy coat, thanks to the cool digital printed inset.
• Fall isn't just about dark colors. Neutrals can also shine with the right amount of texture, like this gorgeous accordion-pleated skirt, cozy sweater, and fluffy scarf combo.
• We can't wait to try out this new metallic spin on the sporty sweatshirt.

We just spotted Kate Moss's latest Fall campaign with Mango — her third with the Spanish retailer — and guess what? Kate looks every bit the part of autumnal-inspired cool, making us wish it was chilly enough to slip into our own denim-and-boyfriend blazer combos, too. As part of Mango's 107-page Fall catalog, the British beauty poses in a plethora of classic cold weather wares, like a textured white sweater paired with siren red cigarette jeans, and edgier takes on layering, like moto-chic leather jacket styled with the quintessential LBD and cap-toe pumps. Bottom line: Mango's Fall pieces are the kind of seasonal staples every girl should have at the top of their must-have list, and who better to show them off than Kate?
