Me? I’m a fall girl through and through. While summer clothes can certainly be fun (sheer pieces, little strappy sandals, and soulful accessories were some of my favorites this year), I’d be lying if I said I didn’t look forward to fall shopping all summer and, honestly, all year long. There’s just something magical about fall shopping. It reminds me of back-to-school shopping days when I would spend hours at the mall, delving into the new arrivals, picking out new outfits to wear, and developing a whole new personal style for the person I wanted to become.
This season, that means taking advantage of some of the most exciting new fall trends on the market, like suede coats, sleek flats, and quirky, cool pendant necklaces. The best part about fall shopping, though, is all the new categories you can tap into with cooler weather on the horizon. Cool jackets, cozy sweaters, everyday ankle boots, and a fresh new-season color palette are back on the agenda. I’ve waited months to shop fall’s new arrivals, and now that they’re here, I’m too impatient to wait any longer. I’m not even waiting for the temperatures to drop. Below, I’m sharing the 42 finds I’m most excited about and want to buy before someone else does.
Zw Collection
Blazer made of 100% suede
The very first thing I’m going to buy? A suede car coat in a rich maroon that goes with, well, anything and everything.
Jamie Haller
The Penny Loafer in White
I never thought about how chic a pair of white loafers could be until I saw them in the J.Crew x Maryam Nassir Zadeh collaboration. This exact pair may be long out of stock, but I’d love to try a pair from Jamie Haller, especially since my favorite fashion substackers are singing the label’s praises.
Enza Costa
Hammered satin slip
I love the idea of wearing this with a button down shirt or a sweater tied around the waist.
Valentino
Cotton trench coat with scarf
Get ready: Your social feeds will soon be (and already are) flooded with jackets with built-in scarves.
I love elegant finds that just look high-quality.
Prada
Ballerinas with straps and pointed toes
New Prada alert! I recently tried on a very similar pair in store and can confirm that they are even prettier in person.
Valentino
Necklace with round stone
Boho style is back and I plan to embrace this accessory trend.

Corrin Wrap Blazer
The only decision I have to make is whether to buy it in cream or black.
Get them before they’re gone.
MiuMiu
Oval glasses with tortoiseshell effect
This fall I begin my era as a librarian.
Madewell
Super wide leg jeans in Fannin wash
The jeans that filled my DMs.
Khait
Nevada leather ankle boots
A new day, a new perfect pair of Khaite ankle boots to dream about.
How cute would it be with some matching bag charms?
If “ZW Collection” is in the name, I know it will be good.
House Dagmar
Collarless wool blend blazer
Steve Madden
Satin mules “Marianne” with kitten heel
I can already say that the cost per carry will approach zero.
Sophie Buhai
Bessette headband in tortoiseshell look
This has been sitting in my Ssense cart for months. Now that I’m on a shopping spree, it’s time for me to click “order.”
mango
Leather belt with metal clasp
Okay, Mango? Go, girl.

Field of Dreams Long Sleeve Maxi Dress
For me, everything about it is perfect.

Mesh ballerinas with sock leather trim
The row energy for much, much less.
Madewell
Medium suede shoulder bag
This just looks designer.
Banana Republic
Cotton T-shirt with boat neck
The boxy shape of this piece feels much bulkier than any of my other white t-shirts.
I just ordered these and can already tell they are going to become my staple.
Heavenly chaos
The Icon Clock
She is an icon. She is a legend. She *is* the moment.
Nordstrom
Strapless A-line dress
Topshop
Short faux leather bomber jacket
Keep scrolling if you hate expensive looking jackets.

Tank top with scarf
If it has a built-in scarf, I’ll probably put it in my cart.
House Dagmar
Rigid wide leg high waist jeans
This feels like the next it-shape in the evolution of barrel leg jeans.
I’ll let you in on a styling secret: a sculptural belt is the cheat code for a cool outfit.

White Steffi long sleeve t-shirt
nocturne
Leopard print pencil skirt
Did someone say leopard print is trendy?

As easy to wear as it is chic.

Short-sleeved stretch twill dress
