We've all seen the logo T-shirt, from Gucci to Levi's, but make it street-style chic by replacing the typical jeans pairing with silk joggers. To elevate this casual sporty look, go for a platform heel—what, did someone say you can't wear heels with sweatpants? Dressing up a T-shirt has never been easier.

I feel like by the time mid-season hits, I'm ready to retire ALL of my sweaters...but, a Fendi logo sweater may change my mind. Bella Hadid styled it perfectly here—it's not the focus of her look, but definitely completes it. She even matches her logo sweater to her logo handbag. I guess the question is, how much logo is too much logo?

Another fall staple: boots. This season, instead of buying your classic brown leather knee-high boot, spice it up with a logo boot. This subtle hint at the Fendi logo makes Gigi Hadid's look. Wear them with a cropped jean so the logo becomes a fun "peek-a-boo" moment, then layer on a long corduroy coat.
