By August, I’m officially tired of sweating through my linen dresses and denim shorts. Bring on fall fashion!
Fall has always been my favorite season for dressing. The weather is cool enough to pull out suede boots, cozy sweaters, and leather jackets (my personal faves), and there’s something romantic about the falling leaves, crisp air, and the first pumpkin spice latte of the season…if you’re into that.
This is the time to refresh your wardrobe with versatile pieces that are ready to carry you from chilly mornings to crisp evenings. Cue me rounding up eight fall fashion essentials that I consider must-haves for the season. These are classics you’ll want to reach for again and again, from statement pieces to stand-out accessories.
Slip Dress
WOCV V-Neck Bias Cut Slip Dress ($46)
Jennifer Aniston, is that you? This slip dress is totally giving Rachel Green in “Friends.” Once a ’90s club staple, the slip dress has made a major comeback and is more versatile than ever.
Crafted from luxurious double-faced satin, this dress has a smooth, textured sheen on both sides and a weighty drape that skims the body without clinging. The bias-cut design and spaghetti straps feel effortlessly sexy.
Layer it under a cozy cardigan or over a fitted turtleneck for a polished daytime look, or style it with a leather jacket and metallic jewelry for a night out.
Oversized Blazer
Open Edit “The Icon” Relaxed Blazer ($59.62 – $89.50)
The ’90s called. They want their power blazer back, but we’re keeping it!
This season’s oversized blazer channels that iconic silhouette, except it’s softer, stretchier, and way easier to wear. This one features practical touches like a front button closure, chest patch pocket, and flap pockets to give it polish. Layer it over straight-leg jeans and tees or slip dresses and boots. The neutral tones and plaid prints make it a natural choice for fall, while the stretch in the fabric keeps it comfortable enough for all-day wear.
Band Tees
Merch Traffic The Ramones Graphic T-Shirt ($29)
This takes me back to when my oversized Pink Floyd T-shirt was on constant rotation (until it fell apart). Band tees are the ultimate blend of comfort, personality, and style. Whether you’re repping your all-time favorite ’90s rock group or a modern artist with a vintage-inspired vibe, they add instant cool to any outfit.
This one nails the look with a colorful ’70s-inspired graphic, soft 100% cotton fabric, and a classic crewneck cut. Pair with straight-leg jeans and sneakers for errands, or tuck it into a midi skirt for a playful high-low mix.
Newsboy Caps
Brixton Fiddler Fisherman Cap ($59)
Part retro, part Parisian chic, and full of ’90s energy, the newsboy cap is a quick way to elevate your fall outfits without trying too hard. It’s the perfect finishing touch for jeans and a sweater or a playful accent for a slip dress and boots.
This fisherman-style version features rich herringbone texture and rope trim for added detail. It’s a small accessory that makes a big style impact.
Minimalist Handbag
CHOLISS Leather Crescent Hobo Bag ($25)
If it feels like every cool It-girl has had one of these, it’s because… they did. The tiny shoulder bag is back, and this crescent-shaped hobo style is a must-have!
Crafted from high-quality vegan leather with sturdy hardware, it’s built to withstand everyday wear without losing its shape. The RFID-blocking tech keeps your cards secure, while interior pockets keep everything organized. It’s sized just right to fit your essentials and tuck neatly under your arm for that cool, model-off-duty vibe.
’90s-Inspired Sunnies
AIRE Ceres 51mm Rectangular Sunglasses ($20)
These sunnies scream rom-com heroine meets music video icon. Sleek and rectangular, they’re ultra-cool but practical, with full-coverage UV protection.
Made from recycled acrylic, they’re lightweight for all-day wear and durable enough for your bag. The slim silhouette looks great with oversized blazers, slip dresses, and everything in between—plus, they’re only $20.
Combat Boots
Dream Pairs Women’s Combat Boots ($34.99)
Grunge is back, but these combat boots prove it’s grown up a little. With a classic lace-up silhouette, side zipper for easy on-and-off, and a low, non-slip lug sole, they’re built for both style and substance.
Wear them with ripped jeans and a flannel if you’re feeling nostalgic (it’s reminding me of the “Nirvana” era). Or, try something unexpected like styling them with a floral midi dress.
Straight-Leg Jeans
BP. ’90s High-Waist Straight-Leg Jeans ($38.66)
Skinny jeans may have dominated the past decade, but this fall is all about the straight leg. The relaxed, full-length silhouette looks just as great with chunky sneakers as it does with heeled boots.
They’re a wear-all-day kind of denim, and the fact they’re currently 35% off makes them a must-buy. Bonus points for being from a brand committed to responsible social and environmental practices.
Consider this your stylish excuse to refresh your wardrobe. With versatile classics and standout pieces, you’re all set to transition into fall in style!
