Editorial Instincts Engaged: We’re Snatching Up These 18 Fall Items Before They’re Gone!

      As the temperature begins to drop and the refreshing essence of fall takes hold, my instincts as a fashion editor are fully activated. There's something about the arrival of a new season that ignites a specific kind of fashion urgency—one that has me mentally (and digitally) saving every coat, boot, and layering piece that catches my attention. Naturally, with the nature of my role, I recognize that I'm not alone in this: our entire editorial team is busy assembling their fall shopping lists, and honestly, the items we want to buy have never looked better. In the spirit of stylish curiosity and team motivation, I reached out to some of the exceptionally fashionable members of the Who What Wear team to find out what they’re currently buying, saving, and trying this season. From Toteme sock boots to indie-label trench coats and cashmere sweaters that are rumored to be dupes for The Row's, there's something to suit everyone's taste (and budget!) in this collection. Keep scrolling to view and shop the 18 fall items that have our attention before they become popular.

      COS

      Wool-Trimmed Car Coat

      "COS has been behind some of my most frequently worn outerwear, and I can already tell this standout trench coat will be my go-to for fall. The retro car coat silhouette and contrasting collar give it a particularly upscale appearance."

      "Flat sock boots made an appearance on the fall runways at Fforme, Alberta Ferretti, and TWP, moving them from 'outdated' to very much in vogue. I’m looking to invest in this pair from Toteme to wear with denim, trousers, and maxi skirts."

      Zara

      100% Leather Bomber Jacket

      "Zara's leather and suede jackets are always popular. I know this funnel-neck style will quickly become a favorite. Plus, it’s priced under $180!"

      Levi's

      Ribcage Wide Leg Jeans

      "Khaki jeans are having a moment. This $98 pair from Levi's keeps selling out, so grab them while you can!"

      Anine Bing

      Jackson Sweater in Medium Heather Grey

      "I'm currently very enthusiastic about short-sleeve knits. I can picture this beautiful Anine Bing style (it’s incredibly soft, by the way) paired with a leather skirt and boots."

      Massimo Dutti

      Wool Blend Argyle Knit Sweater

      "After seeing the argyle knitwear in Khaite's F/W 25 show, I can't shake the idea of getting something similar. I really like this version from Massimo Dutti because it captures the trend, yet the neutral colors provide a subtle vibe—ideal for my minimalist aesthetic."

      "Lately, it seems like all the style icons are wearing Kallmeyer's Eloise minidress. While I wish I could afford the designer price tag, this elevated alternative from Reformation will help me achieve the look."

      Peachy Den

      The Cheri Trench

      "I can't believe I don’t already own a trench coat, especially since I tend to be drawn to minimalist, chic outerwear. I particularly love options from Peachy Den and Rue Sophie. One styling trend I’ve noticed that feels fresh for fall 2025 is pairing trench coats with capris."

      Madewell

      The April Ballet Flat

      "Ballet flats are still going strong this fall, but if you want a more autumn-friendly appearance, these brown suede ones from Madewell are a great choice."

      "Coach’s Gramercy Tote bag combines my two favorite handbag trends of the season: winged tote and a suede finish."

      Shop Judith's Picks

      Massimo Dutti

      High Neck Bomber Puff Jacket

      "Nothing signifies the start of fall for me quite like reintroducing a jacket into my daily outfits. The first style I plan to buy? A funnel-neck silhouette with a sporty vibe. This one from Massimo Dutti is at the top of my wish list."

      Zara

      ZW Collection Asymmetric Lace Dress

      "I'm loving all the beautiful lace-trimmed pieces for fall. This one from Zara is perfect for layering under a sweater and over my jeans."

      Shop Allyson's Picks

      DOEN

      Faustine Cardigan in Dashwood Fair Isle

      "Whenever I buy something from Dôen, I know it’ll be a staple for years, so I don’t regret investing in this classic cardigan."

      Aritzia

      Wilfred Fiona Dress

      "This is the ideal minidress for transitioning from summer to fall. And at 5'4", I appreciate the shorter length."
