Autumn is always bittersweet for me. It means crunchy leaves, gorgeous colours, and luscious fall accessories. But it also means that winter’s evil wrath is nearing closer. Considering the fact that we cannot fight Mother Nature, there is only one thing to do. Forget about our imminent hibernation and instead, embrace everything that is fabulous about this season – including beautifully chic fall gloves! This year, they’re retro, versatile, and oh so fun. Channel your inner bombshell with long lengths and fur-trimmed versions, or keep it casual with short, wrist grazers. Look for luxe textures like cashmere, suede and velvet. You can look posh and stay cozy too.

Here’s a look at our favourite styles:

Here is the new rule in colour theory for 2011: clash it. Unconventional combinations of bright hues are on point for fall, not to mention, it’s a refreshing contrast in a sea of black. Think red and pink, orange and yellow, and blue and purple for a look that packs some serious punch. Not quite ready to go head-to-toe in technicolour? Try mismatching your brights with your bag and shoes.

Today on City TV’s Breakfast Television I showed how we can all wear ties from Knot Theory. With the menswear inspired trend for ladies that’s taken the front seat in fashion for the past few seasons, now is the perfect time to explore this look. Wear with a suit to a formal event, or with loose fits for a casual look. Summer is full of weddings, late summer nights, and breezy patios. If it’s too hot for a blazer, your tie will add instant style to a guy’s look. Click here to watch.

All clothing from Holt Renfrew.
