@thestylestalkercomLiving in Southern California where we have mild, blink-and-you'll-miss-it seasons, it can be hard to get into a fall mood. Growing up, going back to school signaled fall's arrival for me—I associate the season more with new binders and gel pens than with changing leaves and spiced lattes. Since my last first day of school was many moons ago, I've had to rely on something else to get me excited about fall: all the cozy new clothes.
I don't know about you, but looking forward to a new-season wardrobe really helps me get used to the idea of kissing summer goodbye. I know we're still in the middle of sweltering August weather, but the autumnal equinox will be here before you know it—only five more weeks to go! With that in mind, scroll down to shop the four categories of fall clothes I'll be buying right out of the gate.
1. Slouchy Pants
This trend was all over the Copenhagen Fashion Week street style scene last week.
Vince always makes the chicest basics that will last for decades to come.
When it comes to wide-leg pants this season, bigger truly is better.
These incredibly chic pants are bound to sell out.
2. Cowboy Boots
Reformation's cowboy boots are too cool for school.
Isabel Marant may be the queen of the fashion-forward cowboy boot.
By Far definitely knows how to design covetable accessories.
I knew Free People would have a killer selection of cowboy boots.
2. Cute Sweaters
I'm simply obsessed with this side-tie detail.
From the delicate lace to the cute ruffles, there's a lot to love here.
Yep, I'd spring for the matching pants as well.
Sweater vests will be everywhere this fall, so why not get a head start?
4. Colorful Blazers
No, pastels are not just for spring and summer.
Don't sleep on H&M's excellent selection of blazers.
