As much as the fashion industry has changed over the years, certain things remain the same—we still look to designer’s runway collections for the latest trends. And one of the upcoming trends we’re loving is the head-to-toe beige look. At Paris Fashion Week earlier this year, tastemakers were seen peacocking down the streets in their best beige outfits from Chanel belt bags to The North Face ponchos, and we’ve got to admit, we love it. The trend looks très chic on just about everyone—think of it as the lighter and more contemporary approach to an-black outfit. There are many ways to approach this trend: You could do it with accessories or go all out and invoke your inner fashion editor. Here’s our edit of the 8 must-haves for this trend:
Blazers are the way to go
Splurge:

You could wear it over a dress, with a pair of jeans or even with a pencil skirt. Double-breasted blazers are great because not only does generally has more details than a prototypical one, it’s also more functional as it has more pockets. If you’re looking for an investment pieces, check out the Blazé Milana Everyday Double-Breasted Wool-Crepe Blazer, $1,610 via net-a-porter. It’s a contemporary take on a traditional double-breasted blazer that’ll look great on everyone.

Linen is a great material for our tropical weather as it’s made out of natural fibers and therefore, more breathable and moisture-wicking. Also, this blazer is less structured and which is perfect for looking effortlessly chic.

It’s not just a bag
Splurge:
Some people say that an outfit is never complete without a smile. While we agree, we also think that an outfit isn’t complete without the right bag. And we’ve got just the one for this trend: Marni Small Law Leather Top Handle Bag, $1,750, via modaoperandi. It’s large enough to be everyday bag but also small enough that it isn’t heavy or bulky. It also comes with a shoulder strap, making it extra convenient to carry around.

For something with a little more pzazz, we recommend the Charles & Keith Full Fringe Tote Bag, $85.90. It literally says “for frill seekers” on its website, need we say more?
A girl can never have too many shoes
Splurge:
Few things are as classic as a pair of Jimmy Choo heels and these Anouk 120 Patent Leather Pump, $880.55, via fwrd, are just perfect for this trend. It’s a great investment piece that can still be worn when this trend is long over and it’ll still look just as good (provided you take care of them).
