Amal Clooney knows all too well that when it comes to Fall shopping [1], it pays to search for investment pieces. She looked to one of her favorite labels, Sonia Rykiel, plucking a tartan suit from the designer's Resort 2017 collection. While the combination is brand new, its jewel-toned shades, punchy hardware, and unique shape promise staying power in any woman's wardrobe.

Of course we can't be surprised Amal debuted such an appropriate look [2] for a meeting at the ministry in Stuttgart, Germany. As always, she's offering a nod to fashion with a pair of strappy laced pumps and a luxe tote, but maintaining her modest style [3] at the same time. Read on to get inspired by her prowess, then shop this season's updated plaid.
