I'm Prepared for a Wardrobe Refresh—32 Early Fall Pieces I Have in My Cart Right Now.

      I enjoy summer, beach outings, and linen dresses just like anyone else, but my heart belongs to fall. I'm eager to embrace suede, boots, and knitwear—bring on the golden leaves, crisp air, and autumn fashion anytime. Even though there's still a month until fall officially begins, I'm already compiling my seasonal shopping list. No offense to summer, but I’m ready for a wardrobe refresh. The fall collections are beginning to arrive, so I've been adding my favorite items and essential pieces to my cart throughout the month. Right now, I'm particularly looking for early fall pieces that I can pair with my summer wardrobe right away and layer on as the season progresses. Think plaid shirts, suede bags, transitional dresses, and funnel-neck outerwear. Not only do these pieces have a lasting appeal, but I also have a hunch that many of them will be sold out before September 22. Below are the 32 top early fall fashion selections, from the $90 Zara dress our editors are raving about to the Western-inspired Ralph Lauren bag expected to become a must-have.

      Polos are set to be a big trend this fall, and I adore the semi-sheer texture of this one.

      Plaid is making a significant comeback, and I’m completely on board.
