From Nordstrom to Zara—Meet the New Fall Items That Will Sell Out By October 15
These finds don't stand a chance of making it to November.
Whenever I predict that something's about to sell out, I feel like Phoebe Halliwell (the psychic witch from Charmed played by Alyssa Milano, but you already knew that). There's no rhyme or reason for it, but sometimes, when I see something, I just know that it won't last in stock for long. Perhaps it's just experience. Almost a decade into my shopping-focused career, I've learned a few things about what people want to buy, and right now, for fall, I know exactly what's on their wishlists. Basically, everyone everywhere will be shopping for these new fall items in the next few weeks, with stock running out by October 15. Trust me, my premonitions always come true.
From J.Crew suede jackets to Zara capes, Prada pumps to Nordstrom cashmere sweaters, the 47 pieces below are next-level good—so good, in fact, that staying in stock is not an option. Also featured are under-$100 Nordstrom suede loafers, Bottega Veneta's latest It bag, the sleek knee-high boots that sell out every fall, and a luxe green cotton sweater from Gap that Mairin Rytting on TikTok recently side-by-side compared to The Row's beloved Ophelia sweater. "I think this is so good," she said in her video reviewing the knit. Enough from me, though. Scroll down to start shopping for the best new fall items to buy in 2025. Every slide is another treat, but don't savor your finds for too long. If my psychic tendencies have taught me anything, it's never to dilly-dally when it comes to future sell-outs.
COS makes the best plaid shirts right now. Yes, even better than the really pricey ones.
Just a perfect LBD, especially when paired with fitted knee-high boots.
This new version of Toteme's scarf coat is next level. I didn't think anything could beat the old one, and then this happened.
Bottega Veneta recently released this bucket version of the brand's iconic Andiamo bag. It's a beauty for sure, and will be seen on the streets of every major fashion city this season.
A perfectly '90s pair of block-heel pumps.
This cinch-waist cardigan will never last, especially now that it's on sale.
These low-rise black trousers are a hit in fashion circles. I saw at least four people wearing them during New York Fashion Week.
My favorite high-vamp pumps. I'm buying them in every color (as long as they stay in stock in my size long enough to do so).
I just got this bag and have received hundreds of compliments on it. Truly, it's the perfect work bag if you hate work bags.
It's all about the V-neck this fall.
This collarless jacket is so elegant and refined, whether you style it with an A-line skirt à la Christian Dior or casual vintage jeans.
Kristen Nichols and I are diehard fans of COH's Zurie jeans.
H&M's shoes notoriously sell out quickly. Don't let it happen to these ankle boots before you score a pair.
Oh look, a new The Row bag to obsess over.
A cloche hat will make any fall outfit look vintage and high brow.
