With fashion month in full swing, it's safe to say that the air of sophistication that has dominated the fashion world in recent years has been cemented to continue in 2026. Elegant styles reigned supreme on the runways, and after seeing shows from New York, London, and now Milan, refined fashion is all I can think about. This has influenced not only my recent outfits but also my fall shopping list—my cart is full of hourglass shapes, rich textures, and timeless accessories.
All the pieces on my wishlist strike a balance of current and classic, leaning into luxe-looking details like draping and sharp tailoring that guarantee I'll continue to reach for them for seasons to come. As fall weather is just around the corner, I thought I would share the items currently tempting my credit card. From the stunning suede-and-leather Ralph Lauren bag on every fashion person's wishlist to the Heaven Mayhem watch that's become an instant classic, below are the elegant fall fashion items I'm eyeing from Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Revolve.
