31 New Madewell Fall Items I'd Buy Right Out of the Gate
Perhaps I'm biased since it's my birth month, but I can't wait until September arrives. As much as I enjoy summer style in all its carefree glory, I truly revel in fall fashion. All of my favorite brands and retailers certainly do too, as it's the season where they really step up their game—it's no coincidence that the famous September issue of Vogue is the largest of the entire year. There's just so much new-season goodness to look forward to, and Madewell is not a bad place to start.
Sifting through Madewell's new-arrivals section, I found a ton of excellent pieces I'd recommend buying right out of the gate. Who cares if it's still scorching hot out? I don't, and my closet certainly doesn't either. Scroll down to shop my favorite brand-new blazers, cardigans, dresses, shoes, and more.
The Best Pants and Jeans
Pair these pants with a black tank top like in the above street style pic, and you'll be golden.
As this outfit shows, slouchy trousers are a great alternative to jeans for casual looks.
I'm in love with this forest green.
These chic jeans are giving me '70s Jane Birkin vibes.
Faux-leather pants are such a luxury.
The Best Jackets and Sweaters
I'm always excited about corduroy's return every fall.
The Best Shoes and Accessories
These lug-sole boots will stand up in even the harshest of weather.
The Best Dresses and Skirts
This skirt would look so cute with a cable-knit cardigan.
Come fall, layer this beauty over a thin white turtleneck sweater.
Next, Emily Ratajkowski and Emma Chamberlain Both Wore the Shoe Trend Replacing Ankle Boots
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
