Fall is officially here in just two weeks. I've thought long and hard about who and what I want to emulate in this season. The words elegant, sensual, grown-up, and put-together came to mind. Searching for the pieces that embodied these words was not as difficult as I thought it would be, but I wanted to lighten the already-busy load of the fall season for you. I shopped high and low for budget-friendly yet chic pieces for those of you, like me, who need new fall essentials but don't want to spend an arm and a leg on an entire new wardrobe.
I've discovered pieces across a variety of trends, from plaid trench coats that have a The Row–esque vibe to pointed-toe knee-high boots to rich, lightweight cashmere sweaters, wide-leg pants, loose-fit denim, and much more. My favorite selections are the outerwear options, including butter-soft leather jackets, workwear throw-ons, and sleek coats that pair stunningly with the fall-friendly loafers and stylish tops I tracked down. I won't be purchasing all 56 pieces, so I thought it was only right that I share them with you all so you can be a fashion-forward fall It girl too. Keep scrolling to find all the right pieces for your fall wardrobe from the ultimate fashion-editor fall 2025 wish list.
