Oh, October! Fall, sure, but for us, the month also marks the start of celebration season, finding its focus in the irreverent elegance of dinner parties and special occasions expressed fashionably through deconstructed tailoring, elevated fabrications and elegant outerwear. In this very vein, Banana Republic’s latest collection of handbags and shoes is all about fall elegance—think new designs, materials and improved manufacturing, with a broad range of shapes, materials and end uses for work, everyday versatile, occasion and casual. A few of our faves below. —Vita Daily
