There’s something undeniably captivating about fall fashion. Maybe it’s the rich textures and cozy layers, or perhaps it’s the deeper hues that feel like a warm embrace after the lightness of summer. While I’ll admit that my wardrobe is usually filled with vibrant florals and airy fabrics, this fall I’m considering a change.
Everyone online is talking about their "winter arc"—instilling healthy habits into their day-to-day routines. However, my winter arc this year is less about what I can add to my life and more about what I can filter out. The easiest way for me to adopt this mindset is by starting at home and cleaning out my closet. They say if you haven’t reached for a piece in several months, you likely never will again. After donating three large bags of clothing, I was ready to get serious about my newfound mission.
To avoid making the same mistake twice, I mood-boarded ideas for a chic and minimalist closet. What I’ve realized is that what elevates an outfit more than even the grandest statement piece is leaning into sleek, high-quality fabrics and timeless designs. Inspired by this year’s fall collection from L’AGENCE—one brand that kept popping up on my mood board again this year (no surprise)—I knew it was time to transition from my overfilled closet of light linens and cotton to investing in true autumn essentials.

Behind The Brand
L’AGENCE is one of those brands that just gets it—effortless style that looks polished but still feels comfortable. It was born out of Hollywood’s lively fashion scene and has become a go-to for celebrities and stylists for good reason. Their pieces have this perfect mix of laid-back elegance and structured design that works for pretty much anyone.
Founded in 2008 by Margaret Maldonado and Jeff Rudes (the genius behind J Brand), they’ve built a reputation for tailoring that feels amazing on the skin and flatters every body type. Their focus on fit, detail, and quality really shines through in every collection. What I love most is how they balance that easy, California vibe with a little French sophistication—it’s the kind of style that never goes out of fashion.
This year’s Fall 2024 line is such a standout. It hits that perfect balance of cozy and chic, making it easy to embrace the seasonal shift (even in L.A., where it’s more of a vibe than a temperature change). Whether you’re at home or heading to a holiday party, these pieces just work.
Here are a few of my favorite picks—they’re so good for everything from casual days to festive gatherings.
The Chic Is Back
There’s something about fall that lets you get creative, like piecing together a mini work of art each morning. And while everyone else might be reaching for cozy sweaters and chunky knits, me? I’m all about the silk. Whenever I go to Nordstrom or Bloomingdale’s, I can’t help but admire how silk drapes on the mannequins—cooling and effortlessly elegant, it’s perfect as a layer or a statement piece.
L'AGENCE’s Lotus Silk Blouse just gets it. You know how they say every girl needs her ‘little black dress’? Thank you, Coco Chanel. Well, maybe what they really mean.
Even just by looking at the piece, you can tell how soft and drapey it will sit on your skin, plus it’s got a little sheer to it for an understated elegance that works with everything. Dressed down with jeans—maybe L'AGENCE’s Tiana Raw-Hem Wide-Leg Jeans—or paired with a more textured pant for nights out.
When it comes to refining my closet, a solid basic will never lead me astray. I’ve completely fallen for L'AGENCE’s Flora Turtleneck, and dare I say, it’s a fall wardrobe essential. This piece strikes the perfect balance between lightweight and cozy. Made from a wool-silk blend that feels luxurious enough to sleep in, the turtleneck combines warmth and elegance with a flattering slim fit that layers effortlessly. The Syrah color is as rich and inviting as the perfect glass of red wine, and the gold dome buttons add a polished touch. Like the Lotus Silk Blouse, I can style it with leather pants—like L'AGENCE’s Livvy Leather Trousers—or layer it under a blazer for a more tailored look. I’ll definitely be keeping this piece on standby throughout the holiday season—it’s that good!
Speaking of essentials, the Tiana Raw-Hem Wide-Leg Jeans prove that L’AGENCE has truly redefined denim for fall. With a high waist and relaxed wide-leg fit, these jeans offer a vintage-inspired silhouette that feels fresh and modern thanks to the raw hem. I love how they bring casual elegance to any outfit, whether paired with the Flora Turtleneck for a sleek daytime look or styled with a statement blouse for evening. This pair is perfect for cooler months, blending seamlessly into the rest of my wardrobe while offering a fresh, updated shape.
The Rebel Velvet Trousers are another luxurious staple, crafted from rich velvet that brings depth and warmth to any look. Their saturated color and soft texture make them perfect for fall and winter, capturing that cozy yet chic vibe I crave during the season. Whether paired with a simple knit or styled with the Tristan Coat, these trousers elevate any outfit, seamlessly transitioning from day to evening.
And finally, what I consider to be the show-stopper of the Fall Collection—the Tristan Coat. This coat is the ultimate fall outerwear piece. Tailored from soft wool, it wraps effortlessly over any outfit, offering both warmth and polish. With its refined cut and classic design, it’s versatile enough to pair with jeans for a casual day look or drape over a dress for an evening outing. This coat is a true testament to why I gravitate toward timeless investment pieces that complement my wardrobe year after year.
L'AGENCE is one of those rare brands that truly stands the test of time—crafting pieces designed to be worn season after season, all while holding up beautifully no matter how often they’re in your rotation (for me, that’s more than I’d like to admit). With their focus on quality and timeless style, investing in L'AGENCE means choosing pieces that go beyond fleeting trends and are built to last a lifetime. And with the holiday season around the corner, L'AGENCE pieces make the perfect gift for someone special—or, better yet, a well-deserved gift to yourself.
