STAUD's New Arrivals That Make It the Perfect Brand for Fall

STAUD is the perfect brand for fall because it designs for the season as it is actually lived: sculpted shapes, rich earth tones and pieces that carry a woman from a gallery opening to a late dinner without changing. Sarah Staudinger, a stylist and fashion director before she became a designer, launched STAUD in Los Angeles in 2015 with her partner George Augusto. Inspired by vintage pieces, the label turns those references into sharp, modern separates and accessories. The newest arrivals at Shopbop lean into a palette that makes October look considered: chocolate, burgundy, tobacco, olive and black, with one shock of cobalt. Everything below is new at Shopbop, gathered by category. The dresses lead. The Jill Dress is a long black column with a scooped neck and a full, pleated skirt. The Effie Dress is an asymmetric black midi with a lace and sequin panel, the Albee Silk Mini Dress and the Esther Mini Dress trade in sheer layers and beaded lace, and the Amaris Dress moves in a caramel-brown drape that suits a leather jacket.

STAUD boots and heels are the strongest argument for this label in autumn, because each one gives a fall outfit a clear point of view. The Brooklyn Boots and the Emmett Boots are tall black boots that finish a skirt or a slip dress with authority, while the Miles Suede Zip Ankle Boots bring a tobacco-brown suede and a chunky sole for cobblestone days. The Wally Flat Ankle Boots keep the line clean and low. For evening, the Sebastian Slingback Heels add a kitten heel in black, and the Brigitte, Brynn and Bea Mules cover every mood from quiet to embellished.

STAUD sweaters make the case for knitwear as the season's main event. The Michael Cashmere Polo Sweater and the Cropped Hampton Cashmere Sweater pair a preppy stripe with tobacco, burgundy and navy, the colors of a New England autumn. The Serrano Cashmere Relaxed Crew Sweater arrives in a broader stripe, and the Spencer Cashmere Sweater is a saturated cobalt that reads as pure color against brown trousers. The Norman Sweater is a chocolate V-neck edged in blue and green, the Mabel Sweater is a draped burgundy knit that slips off one shoulder, and the Sera Sweater layers grey over burgundy sleeves.

STAUD bags are the accessory to build a fall wardrobe around, since each carries a distinct texture. The Harlow Messenger Bag is an olive-brown flap bag with contrast stitching, and the Ollie Bag and the Strada Shoulder Bag bring warm brown tones to a coat and knit uniform. The Porcupine Clutch is spiked in black and white, the Winslow Bag is a powder-blue feather statement, and the Timmy Convertible Shoulder Bag glitters in copper and blue sequins. The Karla Bag is a burgundy net tote, and the Hester Mini Shoulder Bag is a black shape that suits every look on this page.

STAUD tops are the quiet workhorses of a fall wardrobe, and this season's arrivals are anything but plain. The Avi Silk Top is a black sheer-paneled shell with a feathered hem, while the Davina Silk Top is a draped chocolate-brown tee with a high, folded neck. The Phare Top and the Bellaria Top are striped and off-shoulder, the Lina Silk Top is an olive slip trimmed in dark lace, and the Enya Top adds a knot at the shoulder. For a cleaner mood, the Jamie Blouse is a fitted brown knit with a button front and the Rhys Top is a crisp white blouse with a nipped waist.

STAUD is not a brand for a plain wardrobe, and that is exactly why it works in fall. When the light turns amber and the layers come out, its shapes, textures and earthy colors look better than they do in summer. We would buy the boots and the cashmere first, because they will be worn from October through February. We would skip anything you cannot imagine wearing three ways, and the feathered pieces are best kept for the person who already owns the basics. If you take one thing away, choose one strong piece from this edit, such as a boot, a stripe or a bag, and build the rest of the outfit quietly around it.
