What to buy now
Wondering what’s in our Gwynns bag this month? No need to guess—we’ve put together a curated September shopping list just for you.
1. Your new neutral: leopard
Leopard print tends to reemerge as a “trend” in ways that feel loud or overdone—but it’s at its most desirable when worn with ease. The print becomes timeless not when it’s the centerpiece, but when it’s styled casually and without fuss. Focus more on the '80s and '90s—think off-duty models and NYC muses pairing it with jeans, a tee, or a black turtleneck and pencil skirt. The key to making leopard work? Effortlessness. And no one embodied that better than Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy.
2. Hobo Bag
Perfectly sized for the city and thoughtfully designed for comfort, the Mini Hobo Bag is your must-have accessory this Fall. Featuring a sleek top handle, an adjustable and removable strap, and a secure zip closure, it offers effortless versatility. Dress it up or down—this bag adapts to your style, however you choose to wear it.
3. Mixing Metals
Contrast is the statement. Mixing metals—cool silver with warm gold—adds depth and edge to any look. It’s less about matching, more about layering with intention. Think of it as styling with tension: chunky silver hoops paired with delicate gold chains, or a bold gold cuff stacked with silver rings. More is more when it comes to your stack!
4. Think Plum
September calls for a shift in palette—and plum is leading the way. Rich, versatile, and surprisingly easy to wear, it bridges the gap between late-summer ease and fall's deeper mood. Whether it’s a silky shirt, a structured bag, or a swipe of lipstick, plum adds instant polish. Look to A.L.C. muted takes, L'AGENCE bold interpretations, or Adam Lippes refined accents for inspiration. It’s the color that works now—and only gets better with the season.
5. Suede Spotlight
Suede is stepping into the spotlight this fall, offering a softer, more elevated take on everyday footwear. From rich-toned sneakers to effortlessly polished loafers and slouchy boots, the texture brings warmth and depth to transitional dressing.
