Elizabeth’s Top Five Clothing Picks for Fall

It finally feels like we can wear most of the clothes in the Hive’s Fall Lookbook. Fall officially arrived a few weeks ago according to our calendars, but now it actually feels like there’s a new season in the air. Thank goodness! We are stocked with cashmere, wool and silk – so many great fall pieces have arrived and now it isn’t too hot to try them on. Everyone knows this is my favorite time of the year. I am just a cold weather girl; I guess it’s my Ohio roots.

Here are my top picks for fall, check ‘em out:

1) Joseph Pleated Skirt

We had this skirt last year in a beautiful light blue with a matching silk top; it was by far the best seller from the Joseph collection. I have learned as a buyer that if they keep a piece in the collection year after year, that means it fits great and is a great piece for anyone’s wardrobe. I was so excited when they had it in black and then a beautiful jade green this fall. I know pleats can be intimidating but I promise this skirt looks great on everyone.

2) Isabel Marant Dress

This is another item that we had last year but it sold out in just a few weeks. I was so sad because I wanted one myself and missed out. When they had it in the collection again I knew we had to have it and once again, it’s selling fast. I mean who doesn’t love a dress that is made out of sweatshirt material?

3) Apiece Apart Bomber

This fall it is all about the bomber jacket, especially if it’s oversized. Apiece Apart has become an important brand for our stores and this jacket is a perfect example of what makes the line so great – it’s the perfect mix of ease and effortlessness.

4) Ulla Johnson Blouse

I am normally not a high-neck-bow kind of girl, but I was so taken by this shirt when we were at market. We had it in a beautiful deep burgundy color and it was difficult to resist buying both.

5) Tibi Jacket 

Well I couldn’t have a Top Five list without a piece from Tibi. I have worn this jacket so many times. It actually sold out with Tibi online and we only have the XXS size, but lucky for us they did a recut so we will have it back in stock in late October. We also have it coming in navy for resort wear later in the year. Once again, I will need both colors!

Browse the Hive Fall Lookbook and you’ll see we have so many great options, with more pieces still coming in.

And join us on Thursday, October 5th from 6-8 pm for a styling event with Ali Hellmuth

Owner | The Hive and The Shoe Hive

I spent the first part of my career as a copywriter who helped elected officials brag about their support for entrepreneurs. Then I decided to get off the printed page and do it myself. The Shoe Hive made a splash on the fashion scene in Washington, and was named the region’s best shoe store in its first year. Fourteen years later, I have tripled the store’s size and also opened a sister store, The Hive.  At The Hive, we offer clothing lines that are sophisticated and approachable like Rag & Bone, Tibi, Raquel Allegra, Ulla Johnson and Veronica Beard. We have tried to fill our racks with clothing you will want to wear all the time, elevated basics that are worth the investment.
