Everything You Need to Buy for Fall, All in One Place

In New York City, we're currently experiencing the kind of weather that reminds me that getting dressed in the fall is fun—and suddenly, shopping for the upcoming season doesn't feel quite so daunting.
With my motivation levels at a high right now, I'm prepared to make your autumnal shopping experience even smoother by doing the grunt work of scrolling through literally thousands of products and picking out the ones that you—everyone!—should want for the season ahead. That means denim, basic tees and sweaters, handbags, accessories, outerwear, shoes, and more all at your fingertips. And it's not all "essentials." If trends are what you're most excited to pick up for fall 2024, I've sprinkled those in too, including the sold-out handbag that Zoë Kravitz and Hailey Bieber are both smitten with. You're welcome.

My coworker Anna LaPlaca put me onto this cardigan last fall, but it sold out so quickly that I couldn't get my hands on one until this week when it was restocked. Trust me—it's perfect and will sell out again.
Capris are the perfect transitional weather staple, plus they're chic and go with practically every top style.
I snagged one of the new Heaven Mayhem watches and haven't taken it off since. It goes with everything and looks way pricier than $280.
For a more affordably priced alt, check out Beyond Yoga's anorak.
In my opinion, you need one silver-toned watch and one gold one so that every outfit is covered. Since the gold style featured earlier in this story is more dainty, I suggest adding some contrast to your watch collection with a more masculine style like this Tsuyosa by Citizen, which just so happens to have a very on-trend burgundy dial.
