I Did the Shopping So You Don't Have To — The Definitive Fashion Editor's Fall 2025 Wishlist
Fall officially arrives in just two weeks. I've spent considerable time reflecting on who and what I wish to channel during this season. The terms elegant, sensual, mature, and polished resonated with me. Finding pieces that captured these qualities was easier than anticipated, but I wanted to simplify the already hectic fall season for you. I scoured various shops for stylish yet affordable essentials for those who, like me, are in need of new fall staples without breaking the bank on a complete wardrobe overhaul. I've come across a range of trends, including plaid trench coats with a The Row-inspired style, pointed-toe knee-high boots, plush lightweight cashmere sweaters, wide-leg trousers, relaxed-fit denim, and more. My top picks feature outerwear choices like buttery leather jackets, easy-to-layer workwear pieces, and chic coats that pair beautifully with the loafers and fashionable tops I've discovered. I won’t be purchasing all 56 items, so I felt it was only fair to share them with you so you can also be a trendy fall fashionista. Keep scrolling to discover the perfect items for your autumn wardrobe from the ultimate fashion-editor fall 2025 wish list.
