Anthro to Zara: 26 Fall Wardrobe Essentials for Under $100

More than the last few seasons, overhauling your wardrobe for fall calls for following an entirely different set of sartorial rules. This time around, skinny jeans are no longer your go-to — they’re (for better or worse) officially dead (though denim on denim isn’t), your breeziest 70s-inspired pieces don’t get packed till next Coachella 2017, boho flare has infiltrated nearly every fall closet staple and forget the cuddle of lots of layers: minimalist silhouettes are making it feel like it’s gonna be a less-is-more kind of fall. In other words, get ready for a brand-new crop of style essentials. In our latest From Anthro to Zara, a style series that points you to the best new items of the season, we’ve covered all of the basics you need to give your look a fall 2015 makeover. Scroll through to shop our must-have picks!

1. Anthropologie Mave Bennett Top ($98): You don’t have to trade in your entire summer color palette just yet. Fall-ify with dark wash denim and khaki olive green ankle boots.

2. A Common Space Sleeveless Silver Stripes Midi Dress ($60): This midi dress is the definition of toss on and go. With its sporty silver stripes and bold geometric print front and center, there’s no need to accessorize.

3. American Apparel The Luxe Robe ($48): This season, skip the blazer for a minimalistic kimono. Its cropped sleeves provide a similar office-worthy structure as the tailored basic, plus its silky finish polishes off even a t-shirt and jeans.

4. Aritzia Rushmore Shirt ($65): Fall is just not as comfy without a plaid flannel to snuggle up in. One with contrast plaid details, like the front pockets on this red, white and blue checked number, your knock-around shirt will still feel pretty darn chic.

5. ASOS Denim Aline Pinafore Dress ($54): Make the must-have garment of the fall — a denim dress — more versatile than you’d ever imagine by choosing an airy pinafore number. Wear it every day with a plain white tee or give it a dressy twist with a paisley patterned blouse.

6. Boohoo Boutique Jenny Suedette Trucker Jacket ($44): Retire your black leather biker jackets, ladies. This season, it’s all about its more casual cousin, the fawn suede trucker jacket, that gives off an effortless cool vibe without the girl-gang edge.

7. Charles & Keith Pointed Loafer Heels ($59): Sleek heeled loafers put a fierce feminine twist on the traditional office flats, perfect to elongate your legs in those brand new culottes.

8. Everlane The Slim Fit Short-Sleeve Linen Shirt ($50): You’ll be deserting your t-shirt collection for a slouchy, short-sleeved button-up to top off your go-to denim — leave the top few open and roll up the sleeves for a next-level laid-back look.

9. Forever 21 Varsity-Striped Bomber Jacket ($23): Step up your athelisure game with a varsity striped bomber jacket that can add an easy edge to any outfit.

10. Free People Prima Ballerina Top ($58): This might be the coolest way to wear a turtleneck this fall. Pair with paperbag-waist trousers for work then with a leather mini skirt for dinner + drinks.

11. GAP Stripe Gwen Top ($30): An easygoing striped tee works like magic to elevate everything from your favorite weekend sweats to your two-piece suit.

12. H&M Patterned Dress ($50): For a more modern take on the ‘70s-inspired everything trend, choose pieces that have a mondo pattern like this breezy shift dress. The bold print feels more crisp and graphic without looking any less luxe.

13. J.Crew Indigo Gauze Popover Shirt ($78): You can’t go wrong with a chambray shirt, especially one that comes in a dreamy indgio dye. Pull it on over flares for a go-to weekend look or rock it with a pencil skirt to the office with heeled clogs.

14. Koshka Just Female Stroke Jeans ($89): If you can’t quit skinny jeans, then this is the pair for you this fall. Added patchwork details won’t just punch up their personality (a must to compete with the roomier styles out right now), but they add just enough retro flare to put them on trend.

15. Lisa Says GAH Just Female Ziggy Long Shorts ($88): Take the instant polish of culottes and combine it with the easy feel of track shorts and you just got the chicest pair of transitional-weather bottoms ever. Keep it cool with an oversized tee and sunnies or take ‘em for a spin on a night out with a long-sleeved crop top.

16. LOFT Relaxed Straight Cropped Jeans in Americana Blue Wash ($70): Besides being extremely comfy, straight-legged cropped denim is actually pretty easy to dress up. Trade in your tennies for a pair of block heels, tuck in your favorite tee and you just found your new fave brunch outfit.

17. Madewell & Deerdana Paris Tee ($60): Add playful flair to any outfit with this sophisticated (and so scrumptious!) graphic tee. Toss on with a front-zip midi skirt and flats for day and slip into flares and platforms for a fun night out with the girls.

18. Mango Cotton-Blend Cardigan ($80): “Grandpa cardigan” and “chic” don’t often go together, but thanks to the crisp geometric pattern on this chunky knit, this layer fits the bill.

19. Need Supply Stelen Cornwall Jumpsuit ($78): Ditch the denim with this pair of lightweaight overalls that look insanely dressy thanks to thin straps and a soft, heather gray hue.

20. Old Navy Women’s Mid-Rise Pleated Soft Pants ($33): Your new go-to office pants just got a whole lot cozier without losing a single style point. Your new nine-to-five staple will look just as posh with oxfords and a chunky knit as it will with pumps and a flowy blouse.

21. & Other Stories Cactus Print Sweatshirt ($90): Some prints are proving to survive the change of season, including the too-cute cactus print. The black and white version on this too-soft sweater will punch up any casual look — add a collared shirt underneath for even frillier flair.

22. Reformation Diletta Dress ($98): The tank dress is getting an even more ’90s makeover this season thanks to ribbed fabric. Take it to a really grungy place with a pair of low-top Doc Martens and a flannel or keep it evening-chic with a fringe clutch and strappy pumps.

23. Target Yolanda Booties ($28): Chunky boots were so last season. Streamline your angstiest accessories with a pair of sleek, heeled lace-up boots — the faux suede finish makes this pair even swankier.

24. Topshop Plunge V-Neck Tie Cami ($35): Thin scarves are proving to be the easiest way to add eclectic flare to any outfit. Here, the It item comes with a matching flowy tank so you don’t even have to think about mixing and matching.

25. Urban Outfitters Frances Heel ($79): Whether you’re dressed in the laziest jeans or the most elegant LBD, a pair of retro-inspired heels will add instant glam. Get ready to don with your favorite pair of pattened socks when the weather starts to dip.

26. Zara Suede Skirt ($70): To shake up your average date-night look, think suede. There’s no way around the throwback look with this A-line mini. Pair it with a turtleneck and a matching cropped jacket to cast majorly vintage #Girlboss vibes or wear with a cami and faux fur coat for a bodaciously flirty feel.

The average calf circumference for women is 15 inches – a fact that a lot of brands making trendy tall boots completely ignore.

My calves measure 16 inches around, meaning fitting comfortably into the boots I would give an arm and leg for (ahem, the famed Frye Campus boots and these sleek Sam Edelman steppers, 14 and 15 inches, respectively) will never be a reality.

Meredith Holser

As a gal with a little more meat and muscle on her bones, this has always been a problem for me. It’s infuriating, but it feels even more isolating. I can’t always wear the same styles that smaller women do, and even if I do find similar boot designs fashioned for wide calves, they look noticeably cheap or simply don’t check all the boxes in terms of my desired look.

I grew tired of saving all the “perfect” tall boot outfit inspo pics to my Pinterest board only to find that the boots in question had way too small of calf sizes, so I did what I always do when I shop for size-specific pieces: I took to Reddit.

Meredith Holser

I primarily consulted r/femalefashionadvice, r/plussize, and r/ausfemalefashion to see what people like me are saying about wide calf boots. The frustrations with finding good-looking, comfy tall boots was pretty similar across all three subreddits. As one passionate user put it:

“Even at a size 6, I have never been able to just buy any old pair of boots and have them fit. It is interesting to me how we've made great progress the past several years in regards to body inclusivity, yet somehow there seems to be a huge lack of sizing in regards to tall boots… It makes me so sad to see these beautiful boots everyone else gets to wear, slouchy, over the knee, western inspired, leopard/snake print, etc. Nothing like that comes in wide calf.”

Luckily, Redditors across all three threads suggested a handful of brands that actually offer cute wide calf boots with extended sizing. I had never heard of a few of them, but after scrolling through their sites, it felt like I struck gold.

The top-recommended brands for wide calf boots:

  • Penningtons
  • Børn
  • DuoBoots
  • Franco Sarto
  • Sam Edelman
  • Billini
If you, like me, have been searching endlessly for stylish tall boots (but have larger-than-average calves), consider your search over. Scroll on for the best wide calf boots that will fit like a dream.

Franco Sarto

Franco Sarto Bowman Wide Calf Knee High Boots

You're meaning to tell me these chic boots can really accomodate my calves?! The deep red color already had me sold, but that 15.75-inch calf circumference made this style so much better. They also come in a smooth brown color and a foxy faux-snake pattern, if those speak to your personal style more.

Børn

Børn Hayden Extended Calf Boots

The suede leather construction of these boots honestly rivals that of the beloved Campus boot, but their fit is much more roomy, boasting a 16.5-inch calf circumference. These zippered boots also have a playful lace-up detail on the back that's utterly unique.

Penningtons

Penningtons Extra Wide Width Black Tall Heeled Boots with Harness Straps

The calf circumference on these bad boys starts at around 17 inches for shoe size 6, and tops out around 19 inches for shoe size 12. I can't get enough of these moto-style boots and I love that they have the signature harness with silver hardware around the base that other similar boots do.

DuoBoots

DuoBoots Saffron Knee High Boots

The fact that you can choose the calf sizing yourself when purchasing these Western-esque boots is ahh-mazing. The options start at 13 inches and go up to 20 inches to hold your beautiful legs without any fuss.

Billini

Billini Granger Extended Curve Boots

From all the wide calf boot brands suggested on the Reddit threads I scrolled through, Billini has to be my favorite. They state that these adorable camel-colored boots can fit calf sizes from about 18.11 to 21.42 inches, and while they do have an elastic panel on the sides to stretch even further, I think it's discreet enough that it doesn't distract from the overall look. Score!

DSW

Baretraps Thalia Wide Calf Boots

A very similar style to my wishlist Sam Edelman boots, this black pair actually has a 16.5-inch calf circumference that'll fit my legs to a tee. The block heel is the perfect shape and height, plus the toe isn't overly pointed (I don't necessarily care for pointy toes).

Sam Edelman

Sam Edelman James Wide Calf Western Boots

Finding cowboy boots with wide calves can be a big challenge – but no more! These reddish-brown boots have a 16-inch calf circumference so you can confidently rock any and all Western looks.

Billini

Billini Oshea Curve Boots

Immediately yes. These broader-fit boots are everything you need to make a statement with your shoes. They're definitely going on my wishlist! The calf circumferences for this style start at 16 inches and go up to 19 inches based on your shoe size.

DSW

Vince Camuto Seshon Extra Wide Calf Boots

With a 18-inch calf circumference, you won't have to worry about squeezing into these tall boots. I adore the timeless squared toe and wide block heel on these!

Emily in Paris season 4 was the buzziest season yet, and for good reason. Emily's in Rome, Camille was never pregnant, and Gabriel's hair went from très hot to tragique. In addition to the viral response to Gabriel's new hair, season 4 left me pretty sad because after four years of waiting for Emily and Gabriel to get together, they almost immediately break up — and actor Lucas Bravo is just as confused as we are.

Carole Bethuel/Netflix

“The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in Season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take,” Lucas Bravo told IndieWire while promoting Mélanie Laurent’s Freedom. “As they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimizing and always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him.”

Honestly it makes me really sad that a character we all love so much is becoming unrecognizable. But at the same time, it makes me feel a little bit better, because we're not the only ones who feel like Gabriel has changed. And while Lucas has done what he can to bring those early-series aspects of Gabriel back, he says "there is only so much I can do in the limits of a script.”

Netflix

“I tried for seasons to bring nuances but we don’t have much liberty on set," he continues. “It makes me question if I want to be part of Season 5…because my contract ends at Season 4. I really want to see if Gabriel gets back to his fun, cheeky, playful, alive self. Because three seasons playing melancholic, sad, depressed, and lost is not fun anymore. It’s a comedy, everybody is having fun around me, everybody is jumping around, and I’m just slowly sinking into god knows what.”

Say what now?! If Lucas Bravo leaves Emily in Paris, I truly don't know what I'd do. Gabriel is my favorite character on the show! (Or at least, early Gabriel was.) Seeing him move from 30, flirty, and thriving to someone who's consistently in the middle of an existential crisis doesn't make sense within the world of the show. And even though Lucas thinks the show has a "lack of risk," he still loves everyone involved.

“I love the show. It started everything for me. I love the show and the people in it," he says. "With saying that, I feel like I am not being nice or grateful, but when you love something you want it to be…you want the best version of it. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been frustrated with the direction by character is taking. But we’ll see where it goes. The show is not over.”

Just like the show's iconic costumes are all about expression and fun, here's hoping Emily in Paris is able to bring some life back into our favorite chef. Because if not, it sounds like we could be nearing the end of the show's most popular would-they-won't-they relationship. Fix this Netflix, I beg you!

What do you think of Lucas Bravo's dilemma? Do you miss season 1 Gabriel? Let us know in the comments and check out the latest Emily in Paris season 5 news.

Black Friday will be here before you know it, with thousands of retailers flaunting their best deals of the year. We're shoppers at heart, so you know we're already scoping out 2024's offerings! Given that the list of stores and brands hosting Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales this year is essentially endless, we're weeding out only the best deals from the places you love to spend (and save). From beauty faves like Dieux and Kiehl's to home goods from Amazon and Walmart, these are the Black Friday deals you simply can't miss.

What is Black Friday?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

Black Friday is the Friday after Thanksgiving that typically signifies the start of holiday shopping season, though many retailers have started to launch their Black Friday deals earlier year over year. A lot of the deals that stores and brands offer during Black Friday outpace their other sales events (such as Memorial Day and Labor Day) in terms of savings.

When is Black Friday 2024?

Gustavo Fring / PEXELS

Black Friday will land on November 29, 2024.

What is Cyber Monday?

Cottonbro Studio / PEXELS

Cyber Monday is the Monday after Thanksgiving that highlights savings and deals online as opposed to in-store offers. It's one of the busiest times of year for online shopping.

When is Cyber Monday 2024?

Anna Shvets / PEXELS

Cyber Monday will land on December 2, 2024.

When's the best time to shop for holiday gifts?

Vlada Karpovich / PEXELS

We're big believers that it's never too early to start shopping for holiday gifts. The sooner you shop, the better, so you can check everyone off your list ahead of the busy holiday season and have some peace of mind once the real festivities start! Plus, if you're shopping online, starting early gives you ample time to wait for items to be shipped and delivered to your door. If deals and savings are what you're looking for, Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer some really great opportunities.

What's the best thing to shop for during Black Friday and Cyber Monday?

Kaboompics / PEXELS

The best thing to shop for during Black Friday deals and Cyber Monday promotions really depends on what your needs are as well as the items you're scoping out to treat yourself (or the people you're gifting for the holidays). Typically, big-ticket items like home appliances, tech products like earbuds, laptops, TVs, and tablets, and luxury self-care tools are heavily discounted during this time.

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie created reality TV gold when The Simple Life debuted in 2003. Their antics were outlandish, but we couldn't help repeating their iconic phrases like "That's hot" or "Sanasa" during random moments in our own lives.

It's no secret the two didn't really act that way, but their 'characters' left a huge mark on a generation of millennials. "I knew what I was doing but the whole world didn’t, so it was kind of frustrating to me to be perceived in that way because it’s not who I am at all," Paris told People.

Even though she may have felt judged, it seems that Paris Hilton realizes how many people actually loved The Simple Life because she and Nicole Richie are teaming up to film a reunion special that'll debut on Peacock as we speak! Here's everything we know so far!

When did speculations about 'The Simple Life' reboot begin?

NBCUniversal Media

Peacock first shared a video clip on Instagram that hinted something special involving Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie is coming in May. A nostalgic TV set with a black and white screen can be seen while our favorite duo's voices can be hearing saying, "Sanasa, Sanasa."

Peacock captioned the post, "New Era. Same Besties. Coming soon to Peacock," and fans could barely contain their excitement. Even celebs like Naomi Campbell and Katy Perry commented on these hot vibes.

Bravo

Then Paris Hilton took to her own Instagram to share more about what fans could expect. She said, "As some of you may know, we are doing a reunion special to celebrate 20 years of our show The Simple Life and it's been so much fun."

Actress Selma Blair shared how much she's looking forward to this by commenting that she's "living for this."

So are we!

What was 'The Simple Life' about?

The Simple Life/20th Century Fox

The Simple Life showed Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie as they basically traded their wealthy lifestyles for 'everyday' living. Cameras followed them from fast food jobs to dealing with getting out of sticky situations they'd supposedly never experienced. Needless to say, it was hilarious, iconic, and instant reality TV gold.

How long was 'The Simple Life' on air?

Peter Kramer/Getty Images

The Simple Life was on air from 2003 to 2007 with five successful seasons. It seemed like it wasn't going to be hit at first, but it defied expectations. By how much you ask?

According to reporting from The Cut, somewhere around 13 million viewers tuned in to watch Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie's oddball take on daily life. That's a pretty huge deal if you ask us!

When will 'Paris & Nicole: The Encore' debut?

Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images

Paris & Nicole: The Encore will premiere on Peacock December 12! The two were previously seen at a Sonic drive-thru yesterday so it can be assumed filming is underway (via People)!

Sporting partial Sonic uniforms, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie added accent pieces that match their signature flairs. Paris wore a pair of reflective sunglasses, silver sequin heels, and added a pink flip phone to front of her blue apron. Nicole wore gold hoops and a pair of slingback pumps alongside her hotdog mascot costume. That's hot (dog).

How does Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie feel about reuniting for a reunion special?

Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Paris Hilton has expressed how much she loves to be sharing the screen with Nicole Richie again. "I'm so excited to be doing this with Nicole on Peacock. Nicole has been my best friend since we're 2 years old, every memory that I have is with her," (via E! News).

Nicole also posted a few throwback moments from The Simple Life on her Instagram, but the most notable one is the video mashup of them singing "Sanasa, Sanasa" over and over. "20 years ago, not only did we become television stars… we became song writers. Happy Anniversary Sill @parishilton#TheSimpleLife#sannnasaaaaa" she wrote in the caption.

What have Paris and Nicole said about their reunion special?

Peacock

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie sat down with W Magazine to let the world know the Paris & Nicole: The Encore show is on its way! Not only that, but fans can expect to see an Opera version of the show they fell in love with two decades ago. Paris said, "The idea of the opera was unexpected" while Nicole chimed in with, "What people need, even though they don't know it yet, is for 'Sanasa' to be an opera.'"

The two besties came up with the idea via a series of texts that started off as ideas between them. Nicole said everything "came up organically" for the two and we can only imagine the memories this brought up for them. OG influencer Paris even talked about how The Simple Life was an "important show in pop culture history" and we couldn't agree more!

Nicole truly wants people to enjoy themselves while watching Paris & Nicole: The Encore and "find the same joy" she had while filming it. According to Paris, she feels what they have is "magic" because "there's just so much history behind it."

It's not every day that you can get to have fun with your best friend while coming up with long-lasting memories that contribute to pop culture, but Paris and Nicole have always danced to the beat of their own drums. Now we'll get to see them in action again!
