STYLE

Our favorite fashion hack? Standout accessories you can wear multiple times a week for maximum style. Fab sneakers, bags and jackets take anything you're wearing up a notch and score so high on the Rewearability Scale you'll get sick of hearing "love that!"

Statement sneaks

Top, $20, mesh under top, $13, earrings, $6, and necklace $7, (all Forever 21) | Pants, $125, I love Tyler Madison | Sneakers, $90, Skechers x Jen Stark | Mesh gloves, $64, House of CB London | Socks, $20, Nike | Bangles, stylist's own

A good pair of kicks are your wear-anywhere shoes this fall: Choose right and you can sport them with everything from flare pants to your hoco dress (our faves have a little bit of '90s skater influence). These aren't your gym shoes, OK?

High top, $75, Converse | Platform, $100, Skechers | Astir sneaker, $100, Adidas | Gazelle, $150, Adidas | Floral force, $99, Nike | Sparkly hot pink, $89, Betsey Johnson | Light pink, $65, Vans | Snake slide, $40, Lamo | Neutral sneaker, $75, New Balance

The "starter" jacket

Bomber, $27, Ashley | Top, $15, Forever 21 | Earrings, $7, Forever 21 | Skirt, $26, Zara | Necklace, $260, Pdpaola | Belts, $68 each, Revolve | Green stone bracelet, $45, J.Crew | Bangles, $38 each, J.Crew

It's the age-old September dilemma: too cold for No Coat, too warm for Big Coat. Solve your cozy crisis with a not-quite-a-coat, more-than-a-shirt jacket that does the heavy lifting from first period to the bus ride home. 

Raspberry light puff, $26, Cotopaxi | Orange fleece shacket, $59, Thread & Supply | Quilted puff, $44, Cider | Light bomber, $102, Vero Moda | Tye dye jacket, $215, Perte d'ego | Patchwork denim, $260, Coach Outlet | Teddy snap up, $99, L.L. Bean | Suede jacket, $319, F Jackets | Nylon bomber, $118, Levi's

The bag (almost) too cute for school

Sweater, $30, Shein | Jeans, $50, Forever 21 | Earrings, $7, Forever 21 | Shoes, $20, Rainbow Shops | Necklace, $265, Coeur De Lion | Bag, $25, Jellyea

Look, you're going to be carrying a school bag every day—might as well make it a good one. These are more than just backpacks: Chic, standout designs elevate your jeans, sets and tees to make every school-day outfit an extraordinary one. 

Plaid backpack, $80, Herschel | Lavender bag, $90, Fjallraven | Slingpack, $68, Calpak | Barbie pink backpack, $95, Skate | Floral messenger bag, $40, J World | Sporty backpack, $49, The North Face | Checkered backpack, $50, Vans | Holographic bag, $75, Pottery Barn Teen | Black backpack, $130, Baggallini
