There's nothing like the anticipation of a new season to get me going. While I hardly need an excuse to talk about my recent shopping obsessions, looking forward to fall dressing is as good a reason as any. And clearly I'm not alone in this endeavor since retailers across the internet have been dropping tons of fall new arrivals over the course of the last week. As someone who spends a lot of time in the new arrivals sections of my favorite sites, I can't tell you how excited I am about all the newness I'm seeing in the market right now.
I visited three affordable retailers—Nordstrom, J.Crew, and H&M—who are dropping the freshest fall arrivals on the market and combed through each site to find the 37 items below. If you're also thinking about your fall wardrobe or are just curious to see what I'm eyeing lately, keep reading to peruse all my picks.
H&M
Because everything is cooler when it's oversized.
I'm so happy to see that waistcoats are sticking around for a while.
H&M, are you reading our trend reports? Because we predicted oversized leather jackets would be a huge thing for fall.
Nail two trends in one go.
The base to so many A+ outfits.
If you're going to buy new denim this season, make it a relaxed fit.
Yep, sequins are making a big comeback right now.
Now would be a great time to replenish the classics.
Exhibit B.
I'm a sucker for a good baby tee.
I pretty much live in leather trousers throughout the fall and winter, so these immediately caught my eye.
J.Crew
Leave it to J.Crew to make me consider a prim jacket like this. Their choice to style it with cargo pants here is making me feels all sorts of things.
Naturally, their take on the cargo trend is polished and elevated.
For any last-minute events on your cal, this silky slip is everything.
Another strong indication that bootcut jeans are on the rise.
Ballet flats may be trending right now, but I'm crushing hard on mary janes.
I glimpsed this on Olympia Gayot's Instagram styled with loose trousers and quickly took note of the outfit idea.
Fashion is making chinos cool again and I'm kind of here for it.
I've seen slip dresses and I've seen slip skirts, but I have yet to see a T-shirt dress. I'm intriguied.
Well hello there, luxe-looking bag.
'90s minimalism is trending, after all.
Tie this around your waist over to emulate the styling trick that was all over the fall runways.
Party loafers.
Nordstrom
Our editors are already Slacking about how expensive this dress looks.
Between Beyoncé and Drake dropping the dance albums of the summer and the shimmery sequins that appeared across the fall runways, it's safe to say we're entering our disco era.
The most stylish fashion people I follow are already wearing this chic jacket, which only means one thing.
Another day, another pair of must-have Levi's jeans.
The "dad" trend we'll all wear in a month's time.
I'm rarely without words, but this is leaving me speechless.
Sweater season is approaching. I love this simple quarter-zip.
Nothing says fall quite like a suede bag.
Meghan Markle recently wore this bodysuit. Just saying.
Puddle pants, anyone?
I'm predicting that we'll see long denim skirts everything this fall.
I'll stop shopping for waistcoats when they stop getting so good.
A stunner.
The color of the moment, clearly.
Up next, the 5 trendier alternatives I'll be wearing instead of jeans this fall.
