There’s something special about those early fall mornings — the ones that start cool enough for layers and end with sunshine spilling across the porch. This week’s Autumn Tide Edit brings two new favorites that capture that cozy-meets-polished spirit perfectly: The Fairhaven Dress and The Driftwood Cardigan.
These two pieces were made for each other, but they also shine beautifully on their own. Here are three ways to style them this season — from slow porch mornings to dinner downtown.
1. Classic Southern Charm
(As seen above — The Fairhaven Dress with The Driftwood Cardigan)
Pair The Fairhaven Dress with The Driftwood Cardigan for an effortlessly put-together look that still feels relaxed. The floral print of the dress adds romance, while the neutral knit cardigan brings warmth and texture. Cinch the dress with a cream belt, add gold jewelry, and finish with cowgirl boots for that Southern-grace-meets-small-town-fall feel.
This look is perfect for lunch with friends, a weekend outing, or a casual workday when you still want to feel feminine and polished.
2. Front Porch to Fireside
(For those cozy evenings in)
Layer the cardigan over the dress, unbuttoned, and roll the sleeves slightly for an easy, effortless vibe. Add slippers or soft loafers, a candle flickering nearby, and your favorite book — this is fall relaxation at its finest.
The cardigan’s chunky knit and the dress’s lined cotton blend make this duo as comfortable as it is beautiful. You’ll look put-together even if you’re just curling up at home.
3. Dressed Up for Dinner
(For when the day calls for a little extra polish)
Let The Fairhaven Dress shine on its own — buttoned up, belted, and paired with heeled boots or block heels. Add a structured jacket or The Tidewater Quilted Jacket for a layered, elevated touch. The blue-and-chestnut print makes it easy to accessorize with gold jewelry, ivory belts, and neutral handbags.
It’s the perfect “effortless statement” look — one that turns heads without ever trying too hard.
Style Tip
Try draping The Driftwood Cardigan over your shoulders for that effortless, “Southern-coastal” layering moment — it instantly adds depth and texture while keeping the look classic.
