The Collarless Jacket
“The new office style to wear, I love that if feels more relaxed but still fashion-forward tucked into pants. I love the idea of wearing this with leather gloves, a big accessory for fall.” —Libby Jane Page, executive commerce director

Countryside-Coded
“On the fall runways at Altuzarra, Chloé, Miu Miu, and even Bottega Veneta, the English countryside was calling. Coined by several Vogue editors as “The Great Outdoors,” this trend–or dressing mood as we prefer to call it–puts the spotlight on festive Fair Isle sweaters and corduroy-trimmed wax jackets to preppy plaid flannel shirts and new interpretations of the signature Wellington boot. There are runway-ready pieces from the aforementioned luxe labels, of course, to even the high-street. I, for one, am drawn to this trend for its casual, yet incredibly polished finish. And not to mention it combines many of fall’s greatest hits–some of which you’ve probably already had in your closet for years!” —Laura Jackson, shopping writer
Everyday Preciousness
“Velvet, sequin, and satin may be synonymous with holiday dressing, but the runways made a strong case for incorporating these more special occasion fabrics and materials into an everyday fall/winter wardrobe. Paillettes at the office? A satin shoe to dress up bejeweled denim? A feather-trimmed jacket to liven up a wool coat? I’m here for it, especially when paired with textural opposites.” —Talia Abbas, senior shopping editor
Winter White Shearling
“There were a lot of luxurious fabrics on the fall/winter runways, from ultra shaggy knit outerwear to head-to-toe brown suede, and of course, shearling. Breaking out as a nicher trend under the rich textures umbrella, comes gorgeous shearling coats in bone and ivory, seen here on Jil Sander’s runway. Perhaps a little bit on the impractical side, there’s still something so chic about a winter white, especially in cozy-soft shearling. You’ll want one to bundle up in one for party dressing and après-ski seasons ahead.” —Madeline Fass, senior shopping market editor

The Wrap Effect
“I’m on the hunt for fall essentials that align with the modern drapery trend we spotted at Carven, The Row, Bottega and Toteme. I’m looking for updated trench coats with a sculptural neckline, and blouses with attached scarves for built-in layers that add artistic details.” —Cortne Bonilla, senior shopping writer

Burgundy
“Be it the leather skirts and fur coats at Khaite, the croc-stamped clutches at Bottega Veneta, or the sheer layers at Ferragamo, I’ve been convinced to add a new color into my wardrobe this fall in burgundy.” —Madeline Fass, Senior Market Editor

Suede
“For fall, suede is no longer confined to the Western saloon. In fact, it was spotted all over the runways, from Prada and Carven to Staud and Altuzarra. I’m adding the sumptuous texture to my fall capsule wardrobe in bits and pieces, starting with Zara’s button-up cropped jacket and this roomy DeMellier tote. They’re subtle nods that add great impact!” —Laura Jackson, shopping writer

Corduroy
“There’s nothing that screams fall like corduroy and this season I’m trying to wear this cozy fabric as much as possible. Currently my wardrobe only consists of corduroy pants but lately I’ve been seeing vests come from brands like Aligne and I’ll definitely be investing before New York Fashion Week!” —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate

The Classic Cashmere Crewneck
“I’m excited for the weather that allows me to wear the time-honored classic: sweaters and ballet flats. Wear them with skirts, jeans, trousers—whatever! It’s an unbeatable combo in my eyes because it can be dressed up or down, but always looks put-together. Fall still feels a long way off, but I just bought a gray cashmere sweater that I can’t wait to wear. Maybe I’ll get my fix by sitting in front of my AC unit.” —Hannah Jackson, fashion writer

Tailored Suiting
“Kamala may be Brat but her wardrobe is anything but! I’m inspired by the Vice President in many ways but her crisp, perfectly tailored suiting is definitely one! She’s inspired me to lean into a full-suited fall.” —Chloe Malle, editor of Vogue.com

Leopard Print
“Pieter Mulier reignited my love for leopard with Alaïa’s fall collection. As a wink to the trend, I’ll be working it in light touches—a patterned top-handle, a silk scarf knotted around a purse, or a pony-hair belt to amp up a neutrals look. When it comes to spotting, I like both the classic black rosettes on a golden-tan coat and the smaller, darker, ocelot-esque markings.” —Talia Abbas, senior shopping editor

Dark Brown
“As someone who typically wears a ton of black, I am challenging myself to instead rely on the richer, dark brown hues seen on the runways. The color brown immediately provides depth to any outfit (I am still dreaming about the opening coat from the Miu Miu show!), and a monochromatic palette allows you to play with different shapes and textures. From suede, to denim, to cashmere, I can’t wait to add some of these timeless pieces to my wardrobe this Fall.” —Mai Morsch, fashion editor

The Leather Trench
“I swear by leather trenches—they’re so chic and make me feel like my most capable (and fashionable) self. I cannot wait to wear my Ducie distressed leather trench, which I’ve been eyeing all summer in my closet while thinking “one day… one day soon.” —Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director

The Sporty Track Pant
“Call it the aftermath of the Olympics, but I have been leaning into sportier pieces lately. (Perhaps also inspired by Rihanna, who is known to rock a jersey or two.) I have a few pairs of Wales Bonner x Adidas striped track pants that I am excited to wear during NYFW.” —Christian Allaire, senior fashion and style writer

The Mesh Moment
“Late to the game on this trend but really looking for some sheer (yet covered) pieces to incorporate in my wardrobe for fall! Something that looks good with layers!” —Naomi Elizée, senior fashion editor

The Boot-Pant Hybrid
“At the fall 2024 Sacai show, all the models were wearing these fantastic wide-leg pant thigh-high boots underneath short dresses and jackets and sweaters and it was truly a revelation in silhouette. I even tried them on during a press day and was shocked to find that mere mortals could wear them and also look cool. It seems that they’ve shortened them a bit for production, but they still look as groovy as ever under knee-length skirts, which let’s face it, is how long all the skirts in my closet are anyway.” —Laia Garcia-Furtado, senior fashion news editor

Elegant Draping
“A little minimalist, a little classic. I love the modern elegance that a draped top provides for fall. Carven, Bottega Veneta, Del Core all showed tops in this vein, and it’s all so chic and easily incorporated into a fall wardrobe with trousers, skirts, and jeans. Not to mention, it’s especially great for dressing for the office! We also saw this look in the season’s outerwear too, but more to come on that front! It’s still August after all.” —Madeline Fass, Senior Market Editor
