A Word To The Wise: Owl-Inspired Fashion Is A Hoot This Fall

This season, owls are invading. As the fall leaves begin to change, wingspans are lengthening, eyes are widening, and heads are turning to owlish accents. Whether it’s Mom, Dad, Baby, or home, you won’t need night-vision to see that these feathered friends are simply filling the stores.

Oeuf’s Owl Mask is a squeal-worthy accessory that’s a hit with little ones. Made from 100% Baby Alpaca, it’s completely hypoallergenic and baby soft. Little tikes can disguise themselves with this for Halloween, then keep it for dress-up and rock it as an awesome accessory on frosty days ahead. If you’re still not convinced, just imagine it with a squishy baby face underneath!

Jonathan Adler’s Owl Needlepoint Pillow is a striking home accessory that accents interiors with finesse. Throw it on a mountain of fluff on the bed, or arrange it on the couch to add pop to your living room décor. The abstract take on an owl silhouette gets the point across while remaining mature for a playful but pared down accessory in very grown-up interiors.

Burberry has been head-over-heels with owls lately, and this pair of Owl Graphic High-Top Trainers is our favorite. The fun doodle rounds out brown leather trim and a mushroom gray background for a pair that’ll make him look sharp, but will allow him to be as kid-ish and carefree as he wishes. A forest-friendly accessory, these kicks look good everywhere: ankle-deep in autumn leaves, perched on a tree branch, or soaring down a slide in Central Park.
