While fall technically started in September, anyone who lives in L.A. knows the real seasonal shift doesn't happen until the temps finally drop in mid-October. I spent the past month pretending it was fall by drinking pumpkin lattes, lighting seasonal candles, and daydreaming about wearing layers—all of course while it was indeed still 85°. Now that it's finally cooled down, I can stop fantasizing about fall fashion and actually start wearing it. Out come my long-awaited knee-high boots, slouchy rugby sweaters, rich brown tones, and favorite worn-in denim. After spending way too much time scrolling for the best fall finds, I figured it's only fair to share my favorites with you—from the perfect Free People mini skirt that screams fall to classic Levi's to must-have bags from Charles & Keith.
Apparel
Have you seen a more perfect fall mini skirt? This one has built-in shorts underneath.
These are seriously the most comfortable pants. If I'm running errands or working from home, you'll likely find me in these.
If I could only wear one top this fall, it would be this infamous pick.
Leather-jacket season is officially back.
You can never go wrong with a good pair of Levi's. This wash is so versatile and can easily be worn day or night.
I love a lounge set, and this color is the epitome of fall in my mind. And it's on sale.
Pair this with the matching SoSoft Cropped Polo Sweater, a slicked-back bun, and some gold hoops for the ultimate off-duty fall look.
My go-to fall outfit is a crisp white tee, my favorite lived-in denim, and a cardigan to tie the whole look together. This cherry-red one is the pop of color my fall outfits need.
When it's too chilly to skip a layer but not quite cold enough to wear a full-on puffer, this is the happy medium.
I think I've worn these jeans at least 50 times, and I keep going back to them. They're just too good.
I bought this in August and have been waiting to wear it until the weather cooled down. You'll find me living in it for the rest of the season.
An oversized denim jacket is a nonnegotiable essential in my fall wardrobe.
This off-the-shoulder top would make the perfect first-date outfit.
The softest, coziest sweater I've ever put on.
This wash is everything.
I've been on the hunt for the perfect brown leather jacket, and I think I just found the one—maybe even better than I imagined.
Argyle prints are everywhere this season, and this olive-green take on the trend is too good to pass up.
Because you can never have too many jeans in your closet.
It's not quite cold enough to wear a puffer in L.A., but I do have a trip to NYC coming up, and this is 100% coming with me.
Red is one of my favorite colors to wear.
This color feels so right for the season, and it's a refreshing alternative to classic denim.
Shoes
I think these may be the chicest fall boots I've ever seen.
I didn't have this collab on my 2025 bingo card, but I'm so glad it happened.
A loafer is another nonnegotiable in my fall wardrobe. I could walk miles in these and I still wouldn't get blisters.
I got these last winter, and they quickly became my most worn heel.
Another style from the Valentino Garavani and Vans collection. I'm loving the pink accents.
If there's one thing my fall wardrobe can't live without, it's a sleek pair of black booties. I've been styling mine with everything from straight-leg jeans to flared pants for a chic night-out look.
This shade of brown is so gorgeous.
While it doesn't rain much in L.A., that won't stop me from styling these adorable Hunter rain boots.
Another night-out necessity. These paired with an oversize blazer are *chef's kiss.*
The sleek fall sneakers of my dreams.
If you couldn't tell, red is one of my favorite colors.
A sleek, elevated twist on the classic Vans we all know and love.
Accessories
If I could design my dream everyday fall bag, it would look exactly like this.
My most worn sunglasses.
I've been on a mission to elevate my current jewelry stack, and this watch is the perfect gold accent.
This is giving quiet luxury.
Belts are the easiest way to elevate the most basic looks.
A moment for this color. Just wow.
While I'm definitely a gold girl, I've been loving experimenting with mixed metals.
I have a weakness for anything brown and suede, and this tote is absolutely no exception.
Loving the retro vibes here.
This classic goes with pretty much everything.
The abstract circle detailing here is so cool.
The type of bag that can fit everything you could possibly need.
