Worth Avenue window displays are already turning over for fall, and the shift starts at the ankle, not the shoulder. This season's edit leans toward polished flats in rich finishes and a proper boot, the kind that carries a woman from a Royal Poinciana Way lunch straight into evening without a second thought. It is a quiet signal for anyone reading the island's storefronts closely: the handbag can wait its turn this year.

With reporting from Town & Country.
