Cozy, Chic, and Trendy: 30 Finds That Are Actually Getting Me Excited for Fall

It's official: Tomorrow marks the start of fall. Don't get me wrong—summer is definitely my favorite season, but to be honest, New York Fashion Week got me more excited for sweater weather than I ever thought possible. I've been particularly influenced by the opulent dinner that Who What Wear co-hosted with our new sister brand, Marie Claire. I'm not going to lie: I was living vicariously through the Instagram posts of event goers imbibing on the picturesque rooftop and dining by candlelight. Everyone in attendance—editors, staffers, influencers, and celebs—dressed to impress, and their outfits did not disappoint. I saw so many of-the-moment trends and elevated pieces including sweater-vests, suiting, silk dresses, and elegant coats. And since I obviously love beauty, I'm inspired to stock up on some fall beauty essentials, particularly a good moisturizer and some red lipstick. Keep reading to see my complete fall wish list inspired by this star-studded event.
In my book, Skims can do no wrong. If you wore the brand's Sleeveless Maxi ($84) all summer, you need the long-sleeved one for fall.
