Just when I thought summer skirts had officially run their course as we inch closer towards fall, fashion people found a way to make a new style bubble up in the zeitgist right before the sun sets on the season. Enter the two-tone skirt: a subtle-but-impactful micro-trend that’s quietly taken over some of the chicest wardrobes I follow, from Hailey Bieber to tastemakers summering in the South of France.

Rather than relying on bold prints or statement silhouettes, the two-tone skirt micro-trend is all about contrast. Think bold satin bias-cut slips finished with contrasting lace trim, sheer lace underlays peeking out in an unexpected shade, or clean color-blocking that makes even the simplest midi feel infinitely more interesting. It’s less of a specific skirt style and more of a clever styling detail—and exactly the kind of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it trend fashion people love. Wear it with a t-shirt, a tank-top, or even a cropped trench for chillier days between the seasons.

Below, shop the two-tone skirts making me reconsider putting away my summer wardrobe for good at the end of August.

If you want to know what 20-something It girls are wearing right now, the answer is simple: shorts. From denim cutoffs to micro sporty styles, young fashion lovers are embracing the style—and for good reason: it is still peak summer. But even if your mind has already shifted to fall wardrobe planning, shorts can easily stay in your rotation. Insiders are already showing us how to seamlessly transition them into the upcoming season, starting with two key flat-shoe trends: loafers and moto boots.

These two styles are closely associated with fall dressing, but they are also completely timeless, which is why chic dressers like Olivia Jade and Lila Moss are leaning into them right now.

This week while in NYC, Jade was spotted wearing a casual yet polished look that consisted of blue drawstring shorts, a black T-shirt, and black loafers. For accessories she chose an oversized shoulder bag and low-ankle socks. Also in the city this week Lila Moss was seen wearing shorts but a distressed denim pair that she styled with a low-scoop white tank top and mid-calf moto boots. She completed the ensemble with a leather belt and shoulder bag.

Whether you take inspiration from Jade or Moss when it comes to styling your shorts from now until fall you can't go wrong. Both loafers and moto boots will instantly give your bottoms a more considered, editorial finish and add just the right amount of fall attitude without feeling seasonally premature.

Erin Walsh's client portfolio resembles what I predict next year's Golden Globes guest list will look like: Selena Gomez, Alison Brie, Mindy Kaling, and, of course, Anne Hathaway, who Walsh dressed for both The Odyssey and The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tours. (I'm still thinking about Hathaway in custom Prada at The Odyssey's NYC premiere—props to Walsh for acing method dressing.) But it's not just Walsh's proximity to coveted designers and tastemakers; it's also her high standards and talent for trend forecasting that make her a vanguard in the field. And with fall just around the corner, I'm intrigued to see what Walsh is eyeing (spoiler: "a good quality cashmere sweater" will do wonders according to Walsh).

In addition to her A-list roster, Walsh is also a published author. Earlier this year, she released The Art of Intentional Dressing, which invites readers to undergo a self-discovery through style experimentation. Adding to her multi-hyphenate title, Walsh has taken on the role of Marshalls' and TJ Maxx's Fashion Style Expert.

Having followed Walsh's work for years and being a Maxxinista myself, I couldn't miss the opportunity to ask the celebrity stylist what is in her Marshallsand TJ Maxx cart. And just like the rest of us, Walsh has shifted her focus from summer style to fall fashion. Meaning suede, leather, and cashmere are the new priorities.

Come along as Walsh takes us through her stylist-approved Marshalls and TJ Maxx buys, standout fall 2026 trends, and her styling tips for looking fresh and cool.

From cuffed denim jeans to cropped trend coats, Walsh's Marshalls and TJ Maxx list is packed with fall 2026 must-haves. Specifically, investment pieces with "longevity." According to Walsh, "Shopping for longevity means investing in pieces you can wear over and over, like cashmere sweaters, solid pairs of jeans, and leather goods that hold up season after season – and pieces true to you." Basically, it's crucial to have a capsule wardrobe. Or as Walsh told me, "Trend forecasting gets you nowhere if you don’t love the basics that you start with.

Ahead: 10 Marshalls and TJ Maxx items that get a celebrity stylist seal of approval.

Standout Trends for Fall 2026

Fun Prints & Textures

"So many fun prints & textures! There’s animal prints, premium denim, indie-inspired patterns, florals, leather, suede, and plaid - all grounded in shades of green, pink, espresso brown, and burgundy. Incorporating patterns feels bold without overwhelming a look," shared Walsh.

Daring Silhouettes

Next up on Walsh's list of Marshalls and TJ Maxx trends: "Daring silhouettes are striking back this fall. Sculptural cutouts, cropped pants like capris and ponchos, and fitted button-up blazers are in – there are so many chic, affordable styles in stores and online at Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Just throw on a white tee underneath and you’re done. The outfit combinations are endless, and you’re guaranteed to look and feel good. Mix and match!"

Fall Colorways

"I’ve never been one to jump on trends but fall colorways are my favorite. Standout colors I'm seeing in stores are espresso brown, burgundy, shades of green, and metallics. Playing with different textures when styling deep fall colors adds depth and dimension to an outfit, especially with a monochrome look. Layering might be one of my favorite parts of styling. You can morph your favorite pieces to fit infinite combinations when you’re in the mood to switch it up for less than $30," said Walsh.

We're edging closer to fall, and the season ahead is inspiring outfit ideas I haven't thought of in a while. Take barrel jeans, for example. Some fashion people love them, while others aren't the biggest fans. They are, however, a style that has stuck around for quite some time. They're not new, but they are a mainstay in so many closets. As someone who is a fan of barrel jeans, I've been looking for fresher ways to wear them that are chic and fun, as I'm very over drab fall outfits. This is why I saved cool outfits from some of Instagram's most fashionable people. They each have an aura of effortlessness about them.

The fashion-conscious know that you can always make an old trend new again, and these looks are proof. I've compiled seven outfits that reflect the new season's offerings of light layers, chic accessories, and easy styling. No more overthinking what to wear with your pair of barrel jeans. Let these outfits be a guide to your fall outfit formulas, and you'll look put-together for the rest of the season. Keep scrolling to shop each outfit.

Denim on Denim

Whenever you're in a bind, I highly suggest a classic denim-on-denim moment. There is nothing cooler to me than a Canadian tuxedo, and the look is perfectly fitting for the season—practical and undeniably chic.

Earth Tones

If you want to keep the theme of fall tones, a pair of brownish barrel jeans with a green funnel-neck jacket won't steer you wrong. For an added pop of color, go with pink flats.

Get the Look

Black and Brown

When in doubt, stick with the neutrals that never fail you. Whoever made up the arbitrary rule that black and brown don't go together was sadly mistaken. These colors blend beautifully for fall.

Get the Look

Keep It Neutral

While I'm more of a fan of brighter hues for fall, you can never go wrong with a head-to-toe neutral outfit. Play around with a contrast-collar jacket and silver flats if you want an eye-catching detail in the simple look.

Get the Look

Cute and Casual

A slightly oversize T-shirt and a pair of flip-flops never look bad with barrel jeans. Truly, every iteration of this exact outfit formula looks so good. Add a few accessories, like a shoulder bag and sunglasses, if you're in the mood to dress it up.

Get the Look

Boho Chic

Whenever I think of boho chic, I can never get Isabel Marant out of my mind. This look below is the perfect example of the Isabel Marant aesthetic for a fraction of the Isabel Marant price. A flowy prairie top and barrel jeans pair so well together.

Cool Girl Coded

Sometimes, a cool girl–coded outfit is just filled with basics—down to the flip-flops. A simple baseball tee and tan barrel jeans are just what you need for a fail-proof fall uniform.

Fall is obviously peak layering season. We all know and love the classic trench coat and cool-girl leather jacket, but the runways and fashion people online have officially spoken. There are fresh jacket trends making their way onto the scene. If you haven't been paying attention to the fall/winter 2026 collections, don't worry. I'm here to break the trends down for you. These trends are the epitome of chic, effortless, and eye-catching for the season, which is a goal that I will always try to achieve with my fall fashion.

Outfits that include these jacket trends from the fall/winter 2026 collections have been living in my mind rent-free for quite some time now. These trends—ranging from well-known and loved car coats to others that are newer, like frog-closure jackets—are all going to be everywhere this fall. How do I know? Runway collections never fail to prove these claims, and the fashion-inclined on Instagram have already partaken in wearing these trends. It was only right to share with you, reader, rather than gatekeep.

Military Jackets

The military-jacket trend may come as a surprise to some; however, it is here to stay for fall. The runways, from Khaite to Ann Demeulemeester, have featured the trend in their collections, and I, for one, am a fan of classic pieces that are modernized for the times. The style's toggle closures and sharp shoulders give an essence of elegance and playfulness in this era of fashion. It was not on my bingo card to see them sported again in 2026, as they had a major moment in the early aughts, but nostalgia always wins on the fashion front.

Peplum Jackets

Peplum jackets are another unexpected rising trend for fall 2026, yet they've never been more enticing. While fashion people online are slowly catching on, Dior and Givenchy showed us just how chic and fun this trend can be, especially as fall is approaching rapidly. This is a trend for the person who loves whimsy and playfulness galore, the brave dresser unafraid to turn a few heads.

Satin Jackets

A satin jacket gives ultimate luxe and elegance, IMHO. If there were ever a jacket trend that could elevate your outfit in an instant, it would be this one. Satin jackets aren't a new invention, but they are rising in popularity—rightfully so. When Gen Z–approved brand Conner Ives debuted a luxurious collarless satin jacket with gorgeous bird embroidery, I knew fall layering was going to get good.

Car Coats

This time last year, car coats were absolutely everywhere. They're now a mainstay in so many fashion people's closets. If the style is not in yours yet, let Kallmeyer's and Miu Miu's F/W 26 collections convince you to invest in one. A car coat is perfect for those who aren't fans of extra-long coats but still want that layered, put-together look. Instagram's most fashionable people have already chimed in, wearing them just like they did last year.

Frog-Closure Jackets

Frog-closure jackets are one of the most popular and elegant trends for fall. This style is originally derived from Chinese garments, utilizing a knot-button design to create a frog fastening. This design style was featured on the fall/winter 2026 runways of Valentino and Kallmeyer, and brands like Reformation are making the trend even more accessible.

I have a dear friend I met in the industry who has been praising butter yellow since I met her, but for some reason, the full allure of it finally hit me this year. I always believed yellow was too bright or didn't complement my pale skin tone (shout-out SPF 50 year-round!), but I've come to love it as the perfect neutral or pop of color—depending on what day it is.

It's been one of my favorites to rely on this season, and when I travel for work in warmer weather, it makes an outfit feel special without any bold prints necessary. Butter yellow pairs well with all colors of footwear, and I look forward to throwing it underneath a denim jacket and pairing it with jeans all fall.

If you needed a push to try the color finally, here it is.

Butter-Yellow Dresses

Sticking true to summer, this color in dress form makes everything more cheerful and enjoyable and looks great with a denim jacket when you have to emerge into freezing air conditioning.

Butter-Yellow Sweaters

You know I love a sweater, especially one that I can throw on over an all-white outfit or transition seamlessly to the fall.

Butter-Yellow Bags

I was already obsessed with this clutch from The Horse, but it also being in this perfect hue makes it even more fun.

Butter-Yellow Pants

You know I love drawstring pants, and yellow is perfect all spring and summer long for work or weekends.

Butter-Yellow Blazers

I love a classic blazer, but sometimes, you want to feel a little elevated but not too loud for a meeting or client dinner. This elevated color stands out but is not too dramatic.

Butter-Yellow T-Shirts

Why not elevate your favorite basic T-shirt with this color?

Fall is quickly approaching, and the promise of cozy dressing is too good to ignore. And as a former Southern California native turned New York transplant, I'd be remiss to skip my chance at seasonal styling.

Typically, my autumn lineup consists of chunky knit sweaters, color-blocked scarfs, and sleek leather boots, fit for cameos in You've Got Mail and When Harry Met Sally. They're key closet separates, defining fall fashion year after year. However, I'm looking to spice up my collection, integrating fresh styles and unexpected combinations (think barn jackets alongside ballerina sneakers).

For inspiration, I turned to the It girls of Instagram, studying their outfit formulas like it's my job—because it is. Gingham capris, vintage-inspired handbags, bold fringe, and lace-adorned culottes all bubbled to the surface, creating an aspirational moodboard of fall must-haves.

But one element runs throughout every outfit: comfort. Whether it's a midi skirt and cozy turtleneck or slipper-like clogs and billowy bottoms, each look puts practically front and center, seamlessly transitioning from a cafe date to an elevated dinner.

Ahead, discover the fall influencer outfit ideas I'm eyeing for 2026—including editor tips for mastering each look. But don't forget to complete your ensembles with autumn's favorite accessory: a pumpkin spice latte.

Barn Jacket + Low-Rise Denim + Ballet Sneakers

A monochromatic color palette keeps the outfit streamlined.

Oversized Sweater + Lace Culottes + Kitten Heels

Pair dainty lace with cozy knits to create style tension.

Crewneck + Gingham Capris + Bubble Sunglasses

A playful print serves as an instant head-turner.

Leather Blazer + Turtleneck + Denim Midi Skirt

Reach for a leather blazer to keep the style from looking dated.

Striped Sweater + Baggy Jeans + Soft Loafers

Comfortable slip-ons are a fall wardrobe prerequisite.

Layered Sweater + Fringe Skirt + Leopard Heels

Balance exciting textures and bold prints with a classic crewneck sweater.

Button Up + Cuffed Jeans + Striped Sweater

Add subtle color to a neutral look by draping a striped sweater over your shoulders.

Funnel Neck Coat + Woven Bag + Glove Shoes

Elevate fall layering with luxurious accessories.

With Fall a stone’s throw away, we’ve been getting into the autumnal fashion vibes here at WWW. My favorite way to dress up any look is with cool accessories. As a shopping editor, I spend hours sifting through the latest arrivals at all the top internet retail hotspots. If you haven’t been on Shopbop lately, I recently browsed through the brand’s fall accessories offerings and was pleasantly surprised. Don’t worry. I don’t believe in gatekeeping, so I’ve highlighted top arrivals all under $200 just for you.

Are you in the market for a new pair of chic shoes? Perhaps you could make use of a pretty handbag or even a geometric piece of jewelry. There’s such a wide array of amazing accessories in the curation ahead. Keep scrolling to uncover your soon-to-be-favorite pieces ahead of the fall season.

Shop Under $200 Jewelry & Accessories

From cozy knits to statement jewelry, there's truly such a variety of fall-forward pieces that'll make any outfit stand out this season.

Shop Under $200 Fall Shoes

While Shopbop's selection of flat shoe styles is truly hard to beat, a few cute sneakers among other styles are sprinkled in. Shop on-trend picks from Sam Edelman, Adidas, Madewell, and more.

Shop Under $200 Fall Handbags

The stand out silhouette is shoulder handbags. If you want to elevate your on-the-go looks. Try any of these buzzy picks.

If you're someone who loves bags, you've come to the right place. My closet is overflowing with purses, from luxury splurges to consignment-store deals, basically making me fluent in purse-speak. That said, you can trust me on this: Not every rising bag trend deserves a spot in your closet. Sometimes, the bigger fashion win is skipping the It handbag for something a bit more niche—and that couldn't be truer this fall.

Fashion people are trading over-hyped silhouettes and tired designs for under-the-radar fall bag trends, including expressive colors, woven textures, and distinctive silhouettes. Still, each alternative trend is simple to integrate into your wardrobe rotation, making statement dressing easier than ever. But discovering these incognito handbags takes work, such as runway analysis, social media sleuthing, and in-store investigation. Lucky for you, I already did the heavy lifting.

Below, you'll find a handpicked edit of five curated fall handbag trends for 2026 that will leave people wondering where you found such gems. The lineup spans spacious, casual picks to petite, elevated companions, each effortlessly pairing with knit cardigans, polished loafers, and oversized scarfs.

Suede Chocolate

Is it even fall if you don't have a suede-chocolate bag? The secret is securing an iteration with a slouchy silhouette, giving your outfit a cozy, laid-back appeal.

Moody Merlot

Maroon is the definitive color of fall 2026—I don't make the rules. The sultry hue lands somewhere between brown and red, serving as a head-turning moment that's both chic and bold.

Pencil Case

The pencil-case purse is the micro bag's cooler, older sister. Made for carrying only the essentials, it's sleek, minimal, and unassuming.

Moto Satchel

Fall calls for a lived-in bag that's relaxed yet cool, perfect for pairing with oversized sweaters and slouchy denim. A bit of hardware and distressing takes the look to the next level.

Woven Carryall

Woven totes can easily transition into fall if secured in a warm, earthy hue. The artisanal aesthetic offers visual depth, playing off of texture and dimension.

I'm all for a well-rounded skincare routine. Still, sometimes it's nice to have a little extra something for your skin. Don't get me wrong, I already have my favorite skincare products that I reach for on a daily basis, but every now and then, I feel like my skin just needs a little extra boost of hydration. That's where Korean face masks come in.

In general, I'm down to try just about any face mask I can get my hands on, but there's something about K-beauty formulas that just hit different. If you ever tried one of these gems and thought the same, you're not imagining it. "Korean skincare companies are known for their innovative formulations and delivery systems and have been especially influential in popularizing sheet masks," says board-certifed dermatologist Dawn Queen, MD. "Many Korean brands have been early adopters of creative mask formats and materials including hydrogel, bio-cellulose, and multi-part masks."

Truthfully, I'm not surprised to hear that experts love these face masks as much as I do. And as expected, many of my fellow beauty editors feel the same. So, to save you time, I put together a list of the 10 best Korean face masks money can buy. Trust me, you won't be disappointed

What are Korean face masks?

In short, these face masks are developed by Korean skincare brands or inspired by Korean skincare practices. "Sheet masks are probably the most well-known type of facial mask, but masks also come in many other forms including cream, hydrogel, clay, sleeping, bubble, and rinse-off masks," says Queen. "They attempt to address common concerns including hydration, glow, barrier support, and skin clarity by delivering concentrated ingredients to target specific skin goals."

How are Korean face masks different from other face masks?

If you've ever questioned what it is about Korean face masks that make them so good, the first place to look are the ingredients. "Many Korean masks emphasize hydration and soothing ingredients over strong exfoliants or other stripping active ingredients," says Queen.

Min adds that these face masks are also an extension of the larger Korean skincare philosophy, which tends to emphasize hydration, maintaining a healthy skin barrier, and addressing inflammation before it becomes a bigger problem. Additionally, K-beauty masks are also more sophisticated with many of the formulas focusing on specific needs (ex: barrier repair, pigmentation, dehydration, etc.) rather one generic "hydrating mask."

Then, there's price point. "As a Korean American plastic surgeon, one cultural difference I notice is that Koreans don't necessarily think of a face mask as an occasional luxury or spa treatment—it can be a very routine part of skincare," says Min. "Because it's treated as routine skincare rather than exclusively as a luxury treatment, there is tremendous competition to make formulas that are elegant and affordable." In other words, if you raised a brow at some of the more budget-friendly options on our list, just know it's the norm!

Denim trends have a funny way of lingering long after their peak moment of style. The past few falls, barrel-leg jeans, ultra-baggy silhouettes, and heavily embroidered pieces were everywhere but already, heading into fall 2026, I'm noticing a shift towards denim that feels a bit more polished and directional. Instead of another season of statements and exaggerated proportions, fashion people are embracing everything timeless. From puddled flares and straight-leg fits to unexpected waistlines and statement cuffs.

If you're denim drawer is still filled with last year's biggest styles, don't panic. I'm not writing off the pairs I am mentioned I'm "skipping" forever, in fact, if you love them I encourage you to wear them as much as you'd like. You don't need to replace everything at once but as an opinionated fashion editor, of course, I'm going to give you my hot takes. Below, find the six swaps I'm making for fall that feel noticeably fresher while still being incredibly wearable.

Skipping: Overly Distressed Styles

Buying: No Waistband

I've officially reached my limit on jeans that look like they've already lived an entire life before I've even put them on. The overly distressed pairs that dominated recent seasons are starting to feel less fresh for me. But one of the easiest ways to make a pair of jeans feel worn in and cool this fall, waistband-free styles give classic denim a slightly undone finish. If Zoe Kravitz wearing them on a date with Harry Styles isn't enough to convince you, I don't know what will.

Skipping: Barrel Leg Jeans

Buying: Loose Straight Jeans

Now this is a hot debate because some people really do adore barrel-leg jeans. And if that's you, don't let me stop you! They had a good run but their curved shape is starting to feel more trendy than chic to me so I'm on the hunt for something that feels like more of a forever buy. Loose straight jeans would do the trick. They feel current and deserve a permanent spot in your wardrobe.

Skipping: Traditional Baggy Jeans

Buying: Puddle Flares

Let's be honest, I'll never get over the traditional baggy jeans. But if you're like me, your closet is already filled with them. The next evolution of relaxed denim is getting longer yet more understated. Puddle flares skim the hips and thighs before widening toward the hem and pooling over your shoes, it's a '70s inspired effect that feels way more polished. As I expand my collection, this is guaranteed to be my next move.

Skipping: Patches

Buying: Kick Flare

Patchwork denim truly has had a moment but I'm craving something quieter this season that still feels young. Luckily, the kick flare is back and this time, it feels surprisingly modern. It's one of the easiest ways to give your favorite fall shoes a moment.

Skipping: Exposed Buttons

Buying: Wide Cuff Jeans

Exposed button flies have been a go-to denim detail for years, but they're starting to feel more decorative than directional. For fall, I'm gravitating toward jeans where the interesting detail comes from the cut. A cuff jean is getting bigger and better this season. It gives every pair of jeans a more considered feel.

Skipping: Spray-On Skinnies

Buying: Cigarette Jeans

If you're a regular reader, you've heard us go on and on about cigarette jeans for quite some time at this point. I'm not ready to shut up about them. Spray-on skinnies just aren't my most flattering style but a cigarette jean has a similar effect but way more elevated. If you haven't bought into this style yet, now is the tim

With each season comes new arrivals across retailers, and given that many of our readers shop at Zara, I went through what's new for fall 2026 so far.

For shoes, there are ballet flats, loafers, Mary Janes, and slip-on mules—from a chartreuse style to a patent leather pair. Zara is also known for its fall outerwear, and while the full range isn't out yet, I'm starting to see some lightweight options, such as the Technical Fabric Zip Jacket in a statement turquoise and the on-trend Zw Collection Cape Trench Coat.

With purple being one of the biggest color trends of fall 2026, the Leather Shopper Bag stood out, and if there's one item I would guess is most likely to sell out, I'd pick the Linen-Blend Beaded Skirt with contrasting bead appliqué detailing. Also, associate fashion editor Nikki Chwatt recently wrote about the $25 Henley T-Shirt she picked up on a recent trip to Spain, calling it "so versatile and flattering."
