32 Items From Zara and J.Crew That Are Perfect for Fall Travel

August's arrival has me finally starting to think about fall. Specifically, I'm pondering my fall travel plans and what to pack. I do the bulk of my seasonal shopping when I have a trip ahead of me. Whether that's wise or not, I don't know. But I do at least attempt to shop for things I know I'll wear throughout the coming months.
Zara has historically been one of my go-to brands for pre-trip shopping, and I've recently added J.Crew to that list (you may have heard the retailer's offerings have been quite good lately). While perusing both sites this week, I couldn't help but think about what I'd like to wear for my future fall travels. These 32 items are it.
Below you'll find lightweight jackets and sweaters, skirts, shoes, accessories, and more—all of which would be ideal for cozy autumn trips. Scroll to start shopping because the early bird gets the worm.
