I Did the Shopping for You—The Ultimate Fall 2025 Wish List from a Fashion Editor
Fall is just two weeks away, and I’ve been reflecting on who and what I want to embody this season. The words elegant, sensual, sophisticated, and well-composed came to mind. Finding pieces that represent these qualities turned out to be easier than expected, but my goal was to ease the burden of your busy fall season. I searched diligently for stylish yet budget-friendly items for those of you who, like me, need fresh fall essentials without breaking the bank on a whole new wardrobe. I came across pieces spanning various trends, from plaid trench coats reminiscent of The Row to pointed-toe knee-high boots, lightweight cashmere sweaters, wide-leg pants, loose-fit denim, and more. My top picks include outerwear such as buttery-soft leather jackets, workwear layers, and sleek coats that pair beautifully with autumnal loafers and chic tops I found. Since I won’t be buying all 56 items, I wanted to share them with you so that you can also become a fashion-forward fall It girl. Keep scrolling to see the ideal pieces for your fall closet from my ultimate fashion-editor fall 2025 wish list.
