Fall Fashion in NYC Is Unmatched—30 Items I'm Eyeing to Help Me Look the Part
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
As of recently, I have a deep appreciation for fall, and I think it has to do with the fact that I live in New York City. The energy is so high during this season, and don't even get me started on the fashion. Everyone serves up their best looks, and I love being able to witness it all. There seems to be outfit inspo on just about every corner, so it makes sense that I'm shopping a little more than usual. (At least, that's what I'm telling myself.) I've scoured the internet for the best on-trend fall outerwear, seasonal beauty essentials, and everything in between. I'm hung up on 30 out of the many links that I opened, and I believe that it's my duty to share them with you all. If you're ready to fall in love with the pieces below and get that boost of dopamine when the shipping notification hits your email, just keep scrolling.
Bomber jackets are at the top of the "cool" category when it comes to fall outerwear. This one is perfectly cropped and under $25.
If you want to test-drive the red trend in a subtle way, just imagine these peeking out from under a pair of baggy jeans.
My fellow editor Sierra Mayhew styled these with a white tee and an oversize cardigan, and I want to re-create her look.
Gold is taking a back seat this season while silver accessories reign supreme. This is a fun and affordable way to support the trend.
This gloss gives your lips a beautiful shine and a natural plump without the typical (and sometimes painful) tingling sensation.
I live in trench coats this time of year. This shortened length feels fresh and updated.
Good news: This TikTok-viral blush is now available in more shades, and it's still $5.
Oversize jewelry is everywhere, and your jewelry stand is next. I mean, look at this gem.
Nothing screams, "Fall is here!" quite like an oversize cardigan.
If you're an eye shadow novice like I am, this palette is about to become your fall go-to. It's easy to blend, pigmented, and $6.
This is the key to maintaining that healthy summer glow. Get a subtle, gradual tan that builds over time without the fuss or smell of self-tanner.
You heard it here first: Cat-eye sunglasses will never go out of style. Add these to the lineup.
I'd style these with a chunky knit and top the outfit off with sneakers for that model-off-duty look.
Pink setting powder has been trending. I can commit to trying this without committing to a huge price tag.
I'm not sure if anyone has told you yet, but red is your color (and the color of the season).
Shacket season is back. Wear it open with a classic crewneck shirt and a pair of straight-leg jeans, or wear it buttoned all the way up with baggy denim and pointed-toe flats for a more polished look.
The ultimate closet staple for every single season. If you need me, I'll be ordering this in every available color.
Double-cleansing never felt so good. It nourishes the skin as a balm, removes makeup as a cleansing oil, and hydrates as a cleansing milk.
Trust me—the geometric buckle will take your look to the next level.
PSA: Faux freckles are not reserved for your summer makeup routine. They're a cute addition to your fall beauty routine, too.
Wake up. Think about these shoes. Go to sleep. Dream about these shoes. Repeat.
Barrel jeans are the low-key denim trend that I was scared to try. I'm pleased to confirm that they're just as cool in real life.
Prediction: This scarf will be all over the streets of NYC this fall and winter.
