Keep scrolling to check out Murphy's favorite Banana Republic items and more fall must-haves.
Trench Coat
"This trench is a wardrobe staple that never goes out of style! A trench coat is a consistent go-to for me during the fall season to throw over any outfit."
Bootcut Jeans
"I love anything that is a nod to '70s casual-but-sexy style, and these jeans are the perfect fit. Timeless!"
Turtleneck T-Shirt
"Styling this classic piece with your favorite pair of jeans automatically gives you an effortless day look. To style it for a casual outfit, I would add the skinny chocolate belt. To dress it up for an evening look, I would wear it with the black midi skirt and a red lip."
Suede Bag
"I love the color and shape of this one, a chic hobo bag that completes any look—it's all about the accessories. We'll be seeing suede everywhere this fall!"
Cotton-Hemp Shirt
"I think this shirt is another staple. It looks great on everyone. I go for the famous Sade look when I wear mine—slicked-back hair and a big gold hoop."
