Problem accessing enum from other class

I'm trying to check the enum of an item from a list of a class called Item. I get an error that says it can't access the static member with an instance reference.

Here are the scripts:

Item class:

 [System.Serializable]
 public class Item {
     public string name;
     public string desc;
     public Rarity rarity;
     public ItemType type;
     public Texture2D icon;
     public bool equipped;
 
     public void ApplyState() {
         if (equipped) {
             Debug.Log("Add Stats");
         } else {
             Debug.Log("Remove Stats");
         }
     }
 }
 
 //Item Rarity
 public enum Rarity {
     common, //White
     uncommon, //Blue
     rare, //Yellow
     legendary //Orange
 }
 
 //Item Type
 public enum ItemType {
     tool,
     weapon,
     food,
     misc,
     head,
     body,
     legs,
     feet,
     hand,
     neck
 }

part of Inventory Class:

 public void InvenTool() {
         GUI.Box (new Rect(0, 0, 200, Screen.height), "Tools");
         for(int x = 0;x < items.Count;x++) {
             if(items[x].type == items[x].type.tool) {
                 if(GUILayout.Button("" + items[x].name)) {
                     Debug.Log(items[x].desc);
                 }
             }
         }
         if(GUI.Button (new Rect(10, 190, 180, 30), "Back")) {
             NavigateTo("Sel");
         }
     }

I don't know what the problem is. I read that I'm supposed to be able to access enums from all classes, but it doesn't work. I would appreciate help with this.
