Favorite Fall 2024 Arrivals From Talbots

Talbots is showing a lot of color this fall. I started with this lattice cable sweater in pink and ivory. It also comes in ivory with black, which gives a much quieter effect. This fabric is very soft against the skin, and gold trim elevates the look and gives it a Chanel vibe. The contrast band around the bottom could be problematic for some figures because it draws the eye sideways at a spot where many women would prefer to look slim. To mitigate that, I paired it with these sailor flares in the same shade as the sweater band. These pants have a nautical flare with the buttons along the slash pockets in front. The fabric is substantial cotton with stretch and a stitched pleat running down the front, which has an elongating effect.

This leopard print sweater seems to be the sweater of the season. The print is a huge trend, the material is soft, and the flattering neckline means this will sell like hotcakes. The print is in shades of camel and black, which has a softer look than many with black in them.

I paired it with these flattering straight-leg ankle pants in coffee bean brown. I love the sleek fit of these pants, which come in 8 colors. They’re made from an all-season stretch fabric and an invisible elastic back waistband, which is very comfy and prevents back gaps. These classic pants could take you anywhere in comfort and be dressed up or down.

This corduroy skirt has a slight a-line shape and kick-pleat in front for ease of walking. I think it would be a better length for me in the petite, but this store didn’t stock it. The cotton/spandex blend has a nice amount of stretch and also comes in an indigo blue. I’m always tempted to style these types of skirts with a knee boot, but I think this front kick pleat would get caught on the top of the boot, so I’d opt for tights and a shoe.

You can always count on Talbots to have a large selection of dresses. This fit and flare dress has a pleated skirt and a slight empire waistline. The merino wool is very, very soft in a midweight knit with no itch factor at all. This also comes in black and would pack beautifully and it would be very easy to dress up or down.

There’s quite a lot of this dark teal in this collection, and it’s stunning. These flare-leg pants are full-length with a high rise. They have sleek slash pockets in front and flat besom pockets in the back, which elevate the whole vibe. Why they added a metallic button in the center of the tummy area is anyone’s guess, but it’s easy to replace.

The satin charmeuse blouse has an ivory background with lots of Talbots seasonal colors, so it will coordinate with many pieces. It has a printed band at the bottom that I tucked in, but you could easily wear it out over a slimmer pant. It’s a substantial and flowy fabric but totally opaque.

I adore this reversible ruana in soft shades of toasted coconut and ivory. It’s incredibly soft and cuddly, like your favorite blanket, yet lightweight enough to toss over your shoulder like a scarf. It also comes in a striking red/indigo-blue combo. On the left, I’m wearing their ribbed sweater in ivory. It comes in 3 other colors and is a beautiful piece to wear on its own or layer inside things.

The Chatham slim ankle pants fit beautifully with a smooth waistband and side zipper, so they create no lumps to poke out of sweaters and tops. I’m wearing a regular 6 with the bottom tucked under because the petite was sold out. They come in 4 shades, and I’m wearing the gypsum. These are one of my favorite styles of pants at Talbots because they have a smooth finish with stretch and a sleek appearance (in the correct size).

This ruffle trim popover is the prettiest blue with ivory plaid in a lightweight cotton rayon blend. The bottom is a shirttail hem, so it looks nice tucked and untucked. The sleeve has an elastic cuff, which creates a tiny ruffle effect. If blue isn’t your thing, it also comes in a toasted coconut shade.

I popped this little quilted jacket over the plaid popover. The blue is slightly brighter but works well together. It’s slightly cropped, so it will work well with wider pants and jeans. It’s a little puffier than the teal jacket above and will likely feel a bit warmer. It also has a sportier vibe than the teal because of the corduroy fabric. The oval quilting has a more casual vibe to me than the diamond one in teal above.
