Anne Hathaway's Stylist Just Walked Me Through Her Marshalls and TJ Maxx Shopping Cart
Erin Walsh's client portfolio resembles what I predict next year's Golden Globes guest list will look like: Selena Gomez, Alison Brie, Mindy Kaling, and, of course, Anne Hathaway, who Walsh dressed for both The Odyssey and The Devil Wears Prada 2 press tours. (I'm still thinking about Hathaway in custom Prada at The Odyssey's NYC premiere—props to Walsh for acing method dressing.) But it's not just Walsh's proximity to coveted designers and tastemakers; it's also her high standards and talent for trend forecasting that make her a vanguard in the field. And with fall just around the corner, I'm intrigued to see what Walsh is eyeing (spoiler: "a good quality cashmere sweater" will do wonders according to Walsh).
In addition to her A-list roster, Walsh is also a published author. Earlier this year, she released The Art of Intentional Dressing, which invites readers to undergo a self-discovery through style experimentation. Adding to her multi-hyphenate title, Walsh has taken on the role of Marshalls' and TJ Maxx's Fashion Style Expert.
Having followed Walsh's work for years and being a Maxxinista myself, I couldn't miss the opportunity to ask the celebrity stylist what is in her Marshallsand TJ Maxx cart. And just like the rest of us, Walsh has shifted her focus from summer style to fall fashion. Meaning suede, leather, and cashmere are the new priorities.
Come along as Walsh takes us through her stylist-approved Marshalls and TJ Maxx buys, standout fall 2026 trends, and her styling tips for looking fresh and cool.

From cuffed denim jeans to cropped trend coats, Walsh's Marshalls and TJ Maxx list is packed with fall 2026 must-haves. Specifically, investment pieces with "longevity." According to Walsh, "Shopping for longevity means investing in pieces you can wear over and over, like cashmere sweaters, solid pairs of jeans, and leather goods that hold up season after season – and pieces true to you." Basically, it's crucial to have a capsule wardrobe. Or as Walsh told me, "Trend forecasting gets you nowhere if you don’t love the basics that you start with.
Ahead: 10 Marshalls and TJ Maxx items that get a celebrity stylist seal of approval.
Marshalls
"This cropped option is the kind of piece that instantly upgrades an outfit. A little suede jacket to throw on is a must when you aren’t ready to commit to winter wool or spend hundreds on retail." — Walsh
"A great pair of jeans can shift your mood, and dark denim feels especially fresh this season. Once you find the right pair, you won’t want to take them off. Nothing better than when your jeans fit your body like a glove!" — Walsh
"It’s practical, timeless, and somehow makes everything else you’re wearing look more elevated without the splurge. A classic leather tote will always be in, and there are so many handcrafted, genuine and faux leather options for under $100." — Walsh
"They’re one of those forever purchases you’ll style differently every year. Find a shape that works for you and go from there. Whether you’re sporting a mini skirt, pair of shorts, or dress – high boots are a statement I'll always get behind." — Walsh
"Love the felt buttons! Everyone deserves those pieces that feel as good as they look. There’s no need to splurge hundreds when you can get super cute cashmere for less." — Walsh
TJ Maxx
"The adjustable belt creates shape and instantly gives an outfit an intentional, refined feel. The taupe color will mesh beautifully with fall colors in your wardrobe like burgundy, espresso, and greens." — Walsh
"We’re making green a new neutral! This olive midi skirt adds softness while pairing well with other fall colors like burgundy, beige, and black. Think of layering with a long necklace, black sunglasses, and crisp white tee." — Walsh
"I’m hooked. They’ve been the anchor of so many summer outfits and they are following me straight into fall." — Walsh
"These dainty onyx chain earrings are delicate and edgy all at once. Feel free to mix metals, go all gold, or style them alone. They’re 14k gold, so they’ll last forever and give major cool-girl energy for just under $50." — Walsh
"A belted dress is the best for when you have fashion decision fatigue. The belt will give you shape at the waist while leaving visual space to play with fun accessories (which is the best part anyways)." — Walsh
Standout Trends for Fall 2026
Fun Prints & Textures
"So many fun prints & textures! There’s animal prints, premium denim, indie-inspired patterns, florals, leather, suede, and plaid - all grounded in shades of green, pink, espresso brown, and burgundy. Incorporating patterns feels bold without overwhelming a look," shared Walsh.
The lace-trim trend is still going strong.

Daring Silhouettes
Next up on Walsh's list of Marshalls and TJ Maxx trends: "Daring silhouettes are striking back this fall. Sculptural cutouts, cropped pants like capris and ponchos, and fitted button-up blazers are in – there are so many chic, affordable styles in stores and online at Marshalls and TJ Maxx. Just throw on a white tee underneath and you’re done. The outfit combinations are endless, and you’re guaranteed to look and feel good. Mix and match!"

Fall Colorways
"I’ve never been one to jump on trends but fall colorways are my favorite. Standout colors I'm seeing in stores are espresso brown, burgundy, shades of green, and metallics. Playing with different textures when styling deep fall colors adds depth and dimension to an outfit, especially with a monochrome look. Layering might be one of my favorite parts of styling. You can morph your favorite pieces to fit infinite combinations when you’re in the mood to switch it up for less than $30," said Walsh.
Chic. Chic. Chic.
