Fall 2025 is shaping up to be my favorite season of fashion this year. The suede, the leather, the cashmere, and the indigo denim have won my heart. Everything looks rich and chic, but the prices are too pricey. To honor this financial frugality while maintaining the luxe vibes, I've put together a list of the hottest and most affordable fall fashion items from COS, J.Crew, H&M, Levi's, Massimo Dutti, Banana Republic, and more.
Think cashmere sweaters, affordable suede pieces, unique jewelry, slouchy bags, dark-rinse denim, and chic bomber jackets. Rumor has it the bomber jacket, while never truly out of style, has a new rival this season—the funnel-neck jacket. The high-neck style is gaining popularity, finding its place alongside fall 2025 jacket trends such as the checkered trench coat and the barn jacket. While fall jackets might be the styling hack of the season, the striped shirt is also having its moment, and the unpredictable print has swept our editors off their Mary Janes.
Shop 32 rich-looking fall finds under $250 for a sophisticated fall closet, including cozy cardigans, sleek suede flats, and tailored denim.
