Follow these simple styling tricks to achieve an effortless look for early fall style

Need a weekend look that really stands out? When style is at the top of your list but putting in effort — especially on a Saturday morning — is not, the perfect weekend outfit can be as easy as 1-2-3. Follow these simple styling tricks to achieve an effortless look for your next Saturday brunch or jaunt around town.

Step one:

Mix textures like a nubby thermal knit with the natural nuances of linen to create depth. If combining textures seems intimidating, keep your pieces tonal to create a seamless pairing; neutrals mixed with white create an ideal combination for this time of year.

Step two:

Play with proportion. Counterbalance a crop flared jean with the fullness of an oversized blazer.

Step three:

The details... add leather goods in soft colors along with jewelry in classic finishes to round off your look with a bit of contrast.
