As days grow shorter and cooler, the unstructured ensembles of shorts and tanks make way for the sweaters, boots, tweeds, and wool of autumn attire.

Whether you're ready to head back to the office or the classroom, you may want to include cozy ribbed knits, pantsuits and some other trendsetting items in your autumn wardrobe.

Duster coats: Duster coats and ponchos could be seen at all the major runway shows. These coats are equally comfortable tossed over casual wear, such as a sweater and jeans, or worn over business attire. The longer length keeps legs and torsos warm on chilly days. Play with patterns and colors, such as animal print or pale pink, for extra flair.
Turtlenecks: Put away your t-shirts for the season and use turtlenecks as your next must-have layering piece. In the past, turtlenecks have fallen in and out of favor. But now they're back again in high demand. Turtlenecks keep you warm, and they're also quite fashionable. Turtlenecks can even be worn in nontraditional ways, such as under a dress with straps.
Skirt belts: Mini skirts can be paired with longer dresses as a waist cincher or to add a bit of texture. This creates a focal point and can break up the monotony of a long, single-colored dress.
Luxury athletic wear: A trip to the gym or just lounging around at home can now be even more fashionable, as many brands are now offering luxury gym clothes. These clothes offer a greater attention to detail and more comfort than the usual gym attire and can be mixed and matched with other pieces you may already have in your closet. Slouchy hoods and free-flowing pieces garner all the right attention.
Chokers: Flash back to the 1990s and enjoy the nostalgia of choker necklaces. Black chokers can have a bewitching look and dress up evening wear or even a more casual button-down shirt.
Fringe: If you haven't yet added something fringed to your wardrobe, now is the time. The trend is still prevailing with nearly every designer including some sort of fringe or frayed fabric in their collections. Fringed skirts, capes and vests are just a few looks to try.
Pantsuits: Pantsuits are back in a big way, but they're edgier than in years past. Whether it's tailored jackets paired with flowing pants, cigarette-style bottoms and cropped tops or a boxy blazer and suspenders, pantsuits are a chic and trendy look.
