As a fashion editor, I’m constantly keeping an eye on what all the cool pieces are landing on the market and the key items to buy for the upcoming season. From the streets of NYC to celeb looks, I’m seeing how people are translating the most exciting looks from the runways into their wardrobes and what they’re shopping for. I’m always taking screenshots and making mental notes about what to add to my shopping cart, and as I begin planning for fall, there are some items I know every cool girl already has on their new-season wish lists.
Ahead, I've made a shopping list of the key essentials from the fall/winter 2025 runways. From standout silhouettes to the unexpected accessory taking over this year, these are the finds sitting in my cart right now.
