Gucci’s new creative director, Alessandro Michele, has already made an impression on the fashion world, with many of his quirky “Wes Anderson heroine meets Italian heiress” pieces starting to sell out. Naturally, his androgynous, romantic vision has started popping up at affordable stores like Zara, Topshop, and Aritzia, where it’s not uncommon to find Gucciesque pieces like jacquard printed pants or a sheer lace blouse. So how do you get into the Gucci spirit for fall? In our follow-up to last summer’s guide to Zéline, Céline’s affordable cousin, we bring you our Zucci shopping roadmap. A quick styling note: The best way to wear these looks is to pair patterns with tailored separates, so that you look grandma-chic but not sloppy.

This lightweight blouse instantly pulls your look together, even if you pair with the plainest things in your wardrobe. Wear it with simple wide-leg pants to keep the focus on the details.

The skinny scarf is essential — instead of opting for a black one, try this maroon Echo scarf instead. 
Pair these croc-effect loafers with printed pants for a surprising mix. 
Topshop makes great tapered-leg pants. These have fun, sophisticated '70s floral print. 
Wear this around your neck, or around your head with a loose ponytail on a bad hair day. 
A sleek blouse is never a bad option. This one has bohemian vibes and crochet trim that adds just the right amount of detail. 
Ornate gold earrings bring the patterns together and give you a touch of grandma-chic. 
If a plain white collared shirt feels too basic, go for this frilled bib blouse. It can be worn under a jacket but stands alone just fine. 
Obviously too early to wear now, but a great piece to add to printed kimonos or blouses when it gets cold. 
All you need is a blouse and long, draped earrings to complete this matching jacquard set. 
Solid black heels with embroidered embellishments — just enough design to keep them from being boring. 
A vintage-looking embroidered caftan to drape across your shoulders when it's a little colder out. 
Try this feminine top with solid colored pants and mules to up your Zucci cred. 
Wear this structured bag with platform heels, no-fuss hair, and paisley print. 
To keep this more Euro-boho and less Coachella, wear the jacket with tailored separates underneath and stay away from fringed accessories. 
This is the Gucci look — slim pussy bow attached to an almost-sheer blouse. Tie it in a loose bow on its own or leave it untied under a tailored blaze...

If you prefer your lenses clear instead of tinted, these wide-frame glasses are an easy way to add a creative touch to your outfit. 
A delicate blouse like this one from Aritzia is best when worn with a neutral-colored pant and mid-length heels. 
Try these loose flared pants with a pastel blouse and high heels. 
A matching set of paisley print in moody colors? Check. 
Wear these pastel culottes with a printed kimono.
