There’s no better time to lean into elevated dressing than fall and the holiday season. To me, fall calls for richer tones, textured fabrics, and a little extra sparkle. You know I love my basics—there’s no bigger section of my closet than my t-shirts!—but these days, I’m wanting to feel a little fancier.

This fall, I’m grabbing some pieces that can easily elevate my whole look. And the entire outfit doesn’t have to be blinged out—even one piece can lift the vibe.

On that note, I rounded up some gorgeous pieces to keep you embellished for fall! Take a look.

If you invest in one embellished piece this fall, make it jeans! This pair can be dressed down with a white tee (how I wore them) or dressed up for cooler weather with an oversized cashmere sweater like this one. When worn with the coordinating tank, it gives me 2000s Britney vibes in the best way.

Some other fun options: A daintier touch on the embellished trend is faux pearls but just on the collar. Embellished denim mules round out the look! The mix of blues on this button down is perfect. Finally, silver crystal earrings for $78; check out the way they sit on the ear.

Now, for some black pieces! First, can we just take a moment for this dress?! I want to plan a girls’ dinner, just so I have an excuse to wear it! (It’s got sequins on the back, so it shouldn’t be uncomfortable to sit!)

There is nothing I’ll ever share that’ll be both more ridiculously expensive as well as inaccessible but also on top of my wishlist than these insane Dolce and Gabbana embellished booties.

This black and gold-studded Veronica Beard “stash bag” is on sale for $299! It would make a great holiday purse.

A few tops that I love: A simple black knit embellished polo. I’d pair this textured floral blouse with black faux leather pants (this pair is only $88!) and a classic black pump for a date night dinner look. This embellished collar lace top is only $78 and selling fast!

Let’s move on to some brown and warmer tones that are embellished for fall.

I’m all over the coordinated embellished set, including this suede jacket and shorts set and this jacquard jacket and skort. I love the unexpected mix of gem floral clusters on a utilitarian cropped jacket for this piece. This blush and brown L’Agence jacket gives me feminine matador vibes.

Here are a few other sparkly touches: A brown pearl-detail polo for $79. Love this crystal and floral purse by LoveShackFancy! I’m eyeing up these cream leather mules.

My final recommendations feature crystal details. Pair this teardrop crystal t-shirt with jeans, a great oversized blazer and heels, and you’re set. (And it’s on sale now for just $39!) Studded black denim is so chic. A rhinestone-embellished coat is the way to make an entrance to a holiday party.

Let’s end with two of my favorite accessories: The most comfortable way to wear your jewels: on a strappy flat! The way that the teardrop stones on these earrings drip—I’m obsessed.
