Slowly but surely, I am embracing the fact summer is over and fall is in. I’d order a Pumpkin Spice Latte to make it official but I’m not a coffee drinker. In lieu of caffeine, I choose clothes.

I love tortoise shell because to me, it’s a softer, preppy version of black. Other than the LBD and occasional tee, I am not big on the color. I wear my tortoise shell Ray Bans every day because they go with literally every outfit and I find the tortoise shell frame softens the facial features whereas the black Wayfarers seem a bit too harsh in my opinion.

Navy & tortoise shell is a perfect combination for fall. Tortoise shell is a warm and a subtle alternative to the classic fall neutrals. It’s effortlessly sophisticated a la Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Navy is cool like the autumn weather and a wonderfully classic color that will last for years in your closet. Both colors are true prep and together are a power couple for fall (arguably the preppiest of all seasons).

How are you styling tortoise shell this season? What is your favorite fall color couple?
