Me? I’m a fall girl through and through. While summer dressing can certainly be fun (sheer pieces, strappy little sandals, and emotive accessories were of a few of my favorites this year), I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t look forward to fall shopping all summer long and, honestly, all year long. There’s just something about fall shopping that feels magical. It brings me back to those back-to-school shopping days when I would spend hours at the mall immersed in the new arrivals, curating new outfits to wear and cooking up a whole new personal style vibe for who I wanted to become.
This season, that means tapping into some of the most exciting new fall trends to hit the market, like suede car coats, elegant flats, and quirky-cool pendant necklaces. The best part of fall shopping, though, is all the new categories you get to 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 menu. I’ve waited months to shop fall arrivals, and now that they’re here, I’m too eager to wait any longer. I’m not even waiting for the temperates to drop. Ahead, I’m sharing the 42 finds I’m most excited about and plan to shop before anyone else does.
Zw Collection
100% Suede Leather Blazer
The very first thing I’ll be buying? A suede car coat in a rich chestnut brown to wear with, well, anything and everything.
Jamie Haller
The Penny Loafer in White
I never considered how chic a pair of white loafers could be until I saw them in the J.Crew x Maryam Nassir Zadeh collaboration. Stock in that exact pair may be long gone, but I’m interested in trying a pair from Jamie Haller, especially since my favorite fashion Substackers have been singing the praises of this label.
Enza Costa
Hammered Satin Slip Dress
Love the idea of wearing this with a button-down or sweater tied around the waist.
Massimo Dutti
Cotton Trench Coat with Scarf
Prepare yourself: Your social feeds are about to be flooded with built-in scarf jackets (and already are).
I love an elegant find that only looks high-end.
Prada
Strappy Pointed Toe Ballet Flat
New Prada alert! I tried on a very similar pair in store recently and can confirm they’re even more beautiful in person.
Massimo Dutti
Circular Stone Necklace
Boho style is back, and this accessory trend is how I plan to tap in.

Corrin Wrap Blazer
The only decision I need to make is whether to buy it in cream or black.
Get ’em before they’re gone.
Miu Miu
Tortoiseshell-Effect Oval Glasses
I’m entering my librarian era this fall.
Madewell
Superwide-Leg Jeans in Fannin Wash
The jeans that had my DMs full.
Khaite
Nevada Leather Ankle Boots
Another day, another perfect pair of Khaite ankle boots to dream about.
How cute would this be with some bag charms to match?
If it says ZW Collection in the name, I know it’s going to be good.
House of Dagmar
Collarless Wool-Blend Blazer
Steve Madden
Marianne Kitten Heel Satin Mule
I can already tell the cost per wear on these will approach zero.
Sophie Buhai
Tortoiseshell Bessette Headband
This has lingered in my Ssense cart for months. Now that I’m on a shopping spree, it’s about time I hit “order.”
Mango
Metal Fastening Leather Belt
Okay, Mango? Go off, girl.
Lioness
Field of Dreams Long Sleeve Maxi Dress
Everything about this is perfect to me.

Sock Leather-Trimmed Mesh Flats
The Row energy for much, much less.
Madewell
Medium Crossbody Bag in Suede
This straight-up looks designer.
Banana Republic
Cotton Boat-Neck T-Shirt
The boxiness of this feels so much more forward than any of my other white tees.
I just placed an order for these and can already tell they’re going to become an immediate staple.
Heaven Mayhem
The Icon Watch
She’s an icon. She’s a legend. She *is* the moment.
Nordstrom
Strapless A-Line Dress
Topshop
Faux Leather Crop Bomber Jacket
Keep scrolling if you hate expensive-looking jackets.
Source Unknown
Scarf Tank Top
If it has a built-in scarf, I’m probably adding it to my cart.
House of Dagmar
Rigid High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans
This feels like the next It shape in the evolution of barrel-leg jeans.
I’ll let you in on a styling secret: Adding a sculptural belt is the cheat code to a cool outfit.
Flore Flore
White Steffi Long Sleeve T-Shirt
Nocturne
Leopard Print Pencil Skirt
Did someone say leopard print was trending?
Herve Chapelier
Elbe Tote Bag
Gap
Oversized Boyfriend Sweater

Scoop Neck Satin Tank
Gap can low-key get it right now.
Reformation
Archer Denim Jacket
Utility styles are truly inescapable at the moment.
Reformation
Medium Patrizia Bowling Bag
This is where I admit that bowler bags are the only style I care about right now, and Reformation has some very good ones.
Madewell
Square-Neck Vest
As easy to wear as it is chic.
Nordstrom
Short Sleeve Stretch Twill Dress
Levi’s
501 ’90s Straight Leg Ankle Jeans
I live in the 501 ’90s style. I could always use a new pair.
Reformation
Dulce Cashmere V-Neck Sweater
