Friday Stylist Favorites: September 25, 2026

Every week, we’re sharing the Lulus new arrivals our stylist Ayla Ochoa is loving most. With fall officially here, sweater dress season has officially begun–and this week, Ayla is spotlighting her top pick of the moment, plus the must-have pieces she’d style it with for day and night.

“If there’s one piece that belongs in your fall wardrobe, it’s a great sweater dress,” Ayla says. “This burgundy number checks all the boxes: it’s cozy, effortlessly chic, and the rich burgundy hue is made for the season. Even better, the sleeveless silhouette makes it ideal for layering, giving you plenty of ways to wear it as temperatures start to drop.”

For Daytime:

Callahan Medium Wash Denim Oversized Shacket

“For daytime, I’d keep things casual and effortlessly polished by adding a chic denim layer,” notes Ayla. “Pro tip: Roll up the sleeves of this denim shacket for a relaxed, lived-in feel. It’s a small styling detail that instantly makes the look feel more effortless.”

Conrad Ivory Knee-High Boots

Carraway Tan Suede Tote Bag

“A tan suede bucket bag is the perfect finishing touch. Suede is one of the season’s standout textures, and the combination of denim, suede, and warm fall tones creates a layered look that feels polished without trying too hard,” adds Ayla.

​For Nighttime:

Cerelia Black Ankle Strap Heels

“When it’s time to transition from day to night, let the sweater dress take center stage. Swap your daytime layers and boots for streamlined accessories that instantly elevate the silhouette, like these classic black heels,” explains Ayla.

Wallace Brown Top Handle Handbag

“A small top-handle bag feels polished yet playful and finishes the look perfectly,” says Ayla. “The best part? No outfit change required. With a few thoughtful swaps, a versatile sweater dress can take you from crisp fall days to dinner, drinks, and everything in between.”
