Although I’m sad to see summer come to an end, returning to fall fashion in full swing (online, at least) makes things much easier. I’m excited to lean into deeper color palettes, more layers, and all the rich textures that feel specific to this time of year.
Now that I’ve had a couple of weeks to really build it out, I wanted to share what’s made it onto my mood board for this next season. Some pieces I’ve just saved, some are already on their way, but I think all together it gives a sense of where my style is heading for fall. Here’s everything I’ve added to my wishlist so far!
I’m saving so much of this shade right now. I love it especially in tactile pieces, like this fringed silk scarf. Taking inspiration from Celine’s velvet Mary Janes, I just got this pair from Vibi Venezia for a fraction of the price.
As an accessory pop, grape feels unexpectedly bright, but the depth of the hue still makes it distinctly fall. I’ve linked a mix of high and low favorites here.
Speaking of purple, Reformation is where the shade first caught my eye. But the brand’s overall direction really has my attention. It feels like a departure from their ‘floral sundresses’ era, and a move towards something cooler and more runway-informed.
EYEING: This dress, a total Saint Laurent vibe. This mandarin jacket, a silhouette I’m seeing all over this season. These wedges have a Dries Van Noten vibe.
Suede ready-to-wear always feels inherently fall-coded to me. I’m looking for pants in particular, and I’m drawn more to rich, saturated tones rather than dusty—think persimmon, tobacco, and chocolate. They still wear like neutrals, but look far less flat.
EYEING: Chocolate barrel leg | Sienna wide-leg | Persimmon! | Under $500 | Chocolate classic trouser | Suede-ish under $300
I also love Le Monde Béryl’s Camille boot in the chocolate suede. The slight slouch would look so good under a pencil skirt. I like that they’re not a totally fitted shaft but still feel like a move away from traditional Western territory.
Two wrapped, belted silhouettes I like: this long fur-collar Magda Butrym (a bestseller from last fall that they brought back), and this cropped version from Rotate (or the shorter Magda version). Warm and enveloping, but relaxed enough to throw on over almost anything.
Nour Hammour is one of my favorite outerwear brands. I got so much wear out of the coat I bought last season; the quality and craftsmanship of her pieces are apparent the second you put one on. This season, I’m fixated on the leopard pieces (coat + skirt). How good would a head-to-toe tonal leopard moment be?
I love how this belted blanket cardigan balances a Western sensibility with true luxury. You get the softness and ease of a cardigan, while the belt gives it the structure and proportion of a coat. This Alanui one is at the top of my list, but I also love this $168 option and this with the fringe trim.
The print mix emerging on top feels like a collection of vintage silk scarves stitched together: paisley, border prints, tapestry motifs, exquisite foulards.
I love the maximalism of it, but it still feels quite sophisticated. New Dries (coming soon) has a very wonderful cabinet-of-curiosities quality about it.
EYEING: These Zimmermann pants | Alemais wide-leg pants | A pretty duster under $300 | This scarf | This top
I love a statement skirt, no matter the season. The ones I’m currently eyeing have a decorative, ornate quality: mirrored embellishment, flirty fringe, glamorous paisley. 1970s meets heirloom energy.
Ulla’s new fringe pieces were some of my favorite looks from the runway show: the green top, the blue dress, and the cream skirt. Between the tonal embroidery and all that movement, they feel delicate but still undeniably show-stopping.
One piece already on the way is this red cowl-neck dress, with the sweetest tiny star jacquard print and fringe hem. The stretch knit material should make it as easy to wear as it looks. I’ll report back on the fit!
Another new arrival I just saved from the brand is the cosmic paisley iteration of their signature kick pant. Chocolate and navy make the print feel sophisticated yet still charming. Plus, they’re as easy to put on as leggings, but with 10x the payoff.
Chartreuse is never going anywhere for me, but this season I’m seeing it shine in evening wear. The more texture, the better! All-over sequins, bows, a subtle crinkled finish. These details make the color feel more cocktail-party!
EYEING: Hunter Bell sequins | Lovebirds garden whimsy
Everything Liffner has been doing lately is so good. I want this clutch in nearly every color, but I’m particularly obsessed with the spotted pony hair and the croc-embossed version with the added top handle.
From Prada, I love their new silk duchesse drawstring pouch. The shape is casual, slightly utilitarian, but the fabric makes it incredibly elegant. Also loving the red nylon version too.
Get the pouch look for less: Mango, $46 | Etsy, $36 | Cos, $159 | Valesque, $260 | Laia Alan, $152
These Jimmy Choo flats come in a print that’s not quite polka dot and not quite leopard, but every bit as eye-catching. Because the palette stays neutral, they’d work with far more than you might expect.
EYEING: Madewell snakeskin | Reformation dalmation print | Le Monde Beryl leopard calf hair | Reformation tiger calf hair
