Fall Starts in 2 Days—Here Are the Buys We're Prioritizing Over Everything Else
Right now, as it's 72ºF and sunny (at least in NYC), fall weather can seem a bit out of reach. However, if you look at it in terms of the number of days—which will vary depending on how quickly you get to reading this—and then allow for the fact that there’s ordering, waiting, and possibly some returning and exchanging to do, you're actually pretty late when it comes to getting next season’s wardrobe all set. After all, you literally have two days, and while you might not get your wardrobe fully ready by September 22, you at least want to be close. In order to help move things along, we figured we’d share the fall buys Team Who What Wear is prioritizing over everything else out there, which, as I’m sure you know, is a lot.
From pants to dresses to, of course, boots, there was no shortage of great finds among the team and at every price point, too. To see everything we’re eyeing for the months ahead and read about why while you're at it, simply continue on.
"A bra top might seem like an odd must-have fall item, but I live in blazers come the fall and winter. One of my favorite ways to style them is with loose trousers and a cool bra top. This one feels basic enough to go with everything yet still cool and forward."
"Cargo pants are the fall trend I didn't see coming, but now I can't stop thinking about them."
"Fall has barely started, but I already know this shacket will be one of the handiest things in my closet. While wearing it with the matching skirt is a total vibe, throwing it on with jeans or leggings is how I'll really be wearing it 90% of the time."
This post was published previously and has since been updated. Next: I'm a picky shopper, and these are the fashion items in my Amazon cart right now.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
