I'm an NYC Shopping Editor—I Can't Stop Thinking About These 31 Rich-Looking Fall Finds From Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M
Did I mention they're under $250?

By now, if you follow our stories on Who What Wear, you’ll know we are in full fall fashion mode. Personally, I couldn’t be happier—autumn in NYC is my favorite. If you’re prepping for fall and your taste is expensive but your budget is not, then look no further. I’ve put together a list of the chicest, rich-looking fall finds for under $250.
Staying true to our fall fashion faves—Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M—here are the best luxe-like finds to shop this season. I’m embracing every chic fall trend so far, including the Parisian-coded trench coat, the barn coat that every wealthy fashion person owns, the slim-profile loafer you'd find in a French woman's closet, the chunky clog, and the sporty funnel-neck jacket that is already fashion-people approved. Of course, I couldn’t forget the straight-leg jeans you see on every stylish ’90s icon. Not to mention the love affair our editors are having with suede right now, from a slouchy brown tote to an oversize jacket, ballet flats, and more. Wrap that all into one and you get this list of star-studded, rich-looking fall finds from Nordstrom, Zara, and H&M. Shop the 31 styles below.
