Fall Favorites: The Best Sellers You Need in Your Closet

With unpredictable fall weather, dressing for the season can feel overwhelming—but it doesn’t have to be! Our shopping editors have curated must-have pieces from top global labels, balancing trends with timeless style. These versatile, mix-and-match picks come in trending khaki, beige, and burgundy, plus a few color-pops inspired by the Autumn Winter ‘24 runways. Get ready to refresh your fall wardrobe with ease by choosing a favorite from each category—perfect for transitioning through fall’s ever-changing days. 

Knits, please: 

The backbone of your transitional closet: easy-to-layer, easy-to-remove knitwear.  

You’ll need your knits daily (whilst hopefully being able to indulge in a sunny afternoon every once in a while), so a lightweight classic is always top of the investment list for early fall styling.  

Cozy tip: prep for varied weather forecasts with John Smedley’s finely-knitted cashmere and wool, and breezy elements such as vented necklines and slashed sleeves — by way of Lands’ End and Frank & Eileen.

Cool temperatures, even cooler eyewear:

The unexpected glory of a dazzling sunny day in fall? Unmatched.  

In line with the ‘quiet luxury’ aesthetic, we’ll be reaching for a statement silhouette (such as this season’s trending pilot frame, by way of IZIPIZI) or a vintage-inspired silhouette (thanks Niemen Marcus and PacSun) to create a finishing touch that adds subtle depth — whilst being minimal enough to look great with just about everything.  

We know — genius. (You can’t see our eyes, but we’re winking right now.)

XXL bags, even larger smiles:  

The key takeaway from the trending ‘it-bags’ of fall: the bigger the bag, the bigger the smile. Right now, we’re hitting pause on the micro bag trend and signaling a new era of accessory proportions.  

With plenty of room for plenty of fun, lean towards a lived-in aesthetic this fall — with puffed-out proportions, capacious bodies, and durable textiles. 

Styling tip: pack your piece to the brim (think sunny storage space for your aforementioned knitwear) with extra-big structures from Seventh Stores, Victoria Beckham, and Dune.

Rain or shine outerwear:  

Welcome to fall: one minute you’re ducking from the rain, and the next you’re strolling across the road to reach the sunnier sidewalk.  

The outer shell of pretty much every outfit, updating your outerwear is always one of the biggest — and most important — seasonal delights. 

We recommend strategically shopping for a piece that can tackle all elements whilst also working with your closet rotation. Think simply chic silhouettes, such as Hush’s classic trench cuts, Lands’ End practical simplicity, and Victoria Beckham’s subtle texture.

The perfect (leather) pair: 

As investments go, you can’t beat leather footwear. (Especially when it comes to finding a pair to kick it in all season long.)  

And whilst we would always recommend leather, this season is especially forthcoming with its footwear favorite — with knee-high boots and platform loafers experiencing an uptick in the ‘currently trending’ charts.  

Go for BY FAR’s buttery, high-shine leather, subtle detailing from Cole Haan’s penny styling, and Ariat’s Western-inspired topstitching, all nodding to current trends whilst seamlessly styling with every ensemble.
