In Los Angeles, fall fashion arrives a bit later than it does elsewhere, with October’s pumpkin patches serving as a much-needed alert that it’s time to change up your wardrobe. Despite the continued heat, it’s officially time to ditch summer styles, so we’ve enlisted some of LA’s top fashion bloggers for advice on making the switch to fall. They’re telling us what we should be wearing this season, how to steal their style and what embarrassing items we should shove to the back of our closet ASAP (hint: bye, culottes).

Fall fashion advice from 8 LA bloggers

Which fall 2015 trends are you wearing?

Suede boots, rich camel/burgundy hues and lace paired with gold accessories.

Where would you shop those trends in LA?

Reformation is great for the seasonal, trend-based blouses and dresses, and Barneys NY in Beverly Hills is where I’ll shop for investment pieces. I also love Scout LA—they scout the best designer vintage relevant to trends now.

Any key purchases you’ve already made for this season or would recommend making?

My key purchases have been a camel brown Saint Laurent crossbody bag, suede Gucci boots and a vintage lace dress I scored on Ebay.

One must-keep trend:

Turtleneck layering.

One must-ditch trend:

Striped culottes.

Which fall 2015 trends are you wearing?

Lady loafers! I already started to bust mine out when I was in Paris and felt the first hint of fall. I love the geek-chic vibe they add to any outfit and you will 100 percent see me wearing them a lot this autumn season.

Where would you shop those trends in LA?

I picked up my favorite pair of Proenza Schouler shoes from Barneys NY, and I would also suggest Noodle Stories, Anine Bing, Curve and Zimmermann.

Carwash pleats are another trend that I’m loving right now. My favorite one is by Tibi. I love pairing pretty pleats with a chunky knit on top to give balance to an outfit.

Skinny scarves.

One must-ditch trend:

Furry Feet [Shoes covered in hair].

A military jacket, gray suit and colored leather skirts in army green and navy.

Any form of denim, especially frayed.

One must-ditch trend:

Which fall 2015 trends are you wearing?

Although I mostly shop online, I highly recommend the following LA-based boutiques: Choukair, Barneys NY, G-Star Raw, Kin, H. Lorenzo and Maxfield.

A G-Star RAW sleeveless, black jumpsuit and 3.Paradis bomber jacket are already in rotation. Perhaps a little overkill in this current heatwave—but I’ve always dressed for myself and not the weather.

One must-keep trend:

Monochromatic and sleek agendered apparel.

One must-ditch trend:

Matchy-matchy outfits.
