How Managing Editor Lauren Caruso Refines Her Personal Style Brand For Fall

While fall's dipping temperatures may call for an all-new wardrobe, your signature look should remain front and center. For an expert's take on transitioning personal style into the new season, we tapped Managing Editor Lauren Caruso — a fan of timeless fall style with a distinctly minimalist vibe.

In partnership with I.N.C. International Concepts, Created for Macy's, we looked at how the season's top statement pieces still hit on Caruso's classic style sense. "I'm a trend-curious minimalist," she says. "Fall is where my style really comes alive. I love to layer pieces in the same color family (head-to-toe cream is my go-to), and I top every outfit off with a blazer." Ahead, Caruso shares two blazer-anchored looks she'll be living in this fall.

"I experimented a bit with color in my first look," Caruso says. "The marigold blazer is bright, but it almost looks like a neutral when it's paired with black contrast-stitch pants." Whether she's running Monday meetings or weekend errands, Caruso's blazer-centered style is fairly consistent. Still, she says, this bright look would be "a little more conducive to weekend nights."

"If I had to pick a single item to wear every single day for the entirety of fall," Caruso says, "it'd be the plaid blazer." Paired with a simple tee, dark jeans, and minimalist sandals, the look is bold but still in tune with Caruso's penchant for timeless pieces.
