5 Fall Fashion Tips By Houston-Based Stylist Amy Stargel

Stylist and fashion expert Amy Stargel

Rice Village, let’s give a warm welcome to Houston-based resident stylist Amy Stargel (amybstargel.com) and her new styling showroom. We sat down with Stargel to hear her thoughts on H-Town’s fall fashion forecast.

1. An absolute must for fall is a WHITE BUTTON-DOWN and GREAT WHITE TANK. We love the Kayla buttondown by Citizens of Humanity (citizensofhumanity.com). This can be worn in a myriad ways—front tucked into denim, oversized over a tank or tight baby tee and even tied up and paired with a slip skirt. Style this simple yet practical piece with any white tank from Rag & Bone (rag-bone.com) to achieve both fashion and comfort.

2. HEELS Anyone who feels that street sneakers win clearly has not laid eyes on a glitzy pair of heels. Jimmy Choo is my go-to for all heels-related needs—they are comfortable, chic and timeless. Right now, we are loving any heel by Amina Muaddi (aminamuaddi.com)—pair them with jeans and a white button-down and you are good to go for the evening.

3. CARRY-ALL BAG When it comes to an everyday bag, there’s no such thing as too big—we love the idea of a functional, large fabulous bag! If you know me, I throw everything in my tote bag, whether it be lip gloss or even other handbags for the evening. These carry-all bags will literally have your back, all fall long.

4. BLAZERS When in doubt, blazer it out! You can style a blazer over anything—from a jumpsuit, dress, silk skirt and, of course, on top of denim pants. A blazer is something we always have on hand in the showroom. Our go-to blazer that doesn’t break the bank is any blazer from Zara (zara.com)!

5. SLIP DRESSES and SKIRTS with layers of SEQUINS AND LACE It’s time to elevate the simple slip in your closet to a romantic updated version. Layer your silk slip dress with lace, sequins, chiffon and mesh pieces to elevate every evening look. We love using soft pastel colors to help romanticize this pretty trend.
