Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s.
1. A corduroy button-down shirt you can wear buttoned up on its own or open with a tank underneath for a versatile look that will take you through the season of layers.
Promising review: "I love this lightweight piece that is the perfect transition to fall! I get so many compliments each time I wear it! It does have a different fabric on the inside rather than maintaining the corduroy material the whole way through. However, I actually prefer it this way because I can wear this now as the weather is changing slightly, and I’m confident I could still wear it during our coldest months!" —Madi
Get it from Amazon for $27.19+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 44 colors, patterns, and styles).
2. A polka-dot midi dress in a dreamy emerald color that will be perfect for that late-October wedding you have on your calendar (because October is the new June, apparently).
3. A turtleneck bodysuit that reviewers say is not too thin and not too thick, so it's basically the Goldilocks of turtleneck bodysuits and will feel ~just right~ when you wear it.
Promising review: "This bodysuit is so comfortable! I've been looking for a bodysuit for a few skirts...you know, one that didn't result in a wedgie. I was so happy to be able to wear this bodysuit literally all day without it trying to floss me! Absolutely recommend this garment!!! And it looks cute in fall photos!" —Pullin' Reviews
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 13 colors).
4. A pair of wide-leg stripe pants for an elegant take on sweatpants you can totally wear to work (or out to dinner with friends). You'll basically feel like a spy with a secret because nobody will know how ridiculously comfortable you are the whole time.
Promising review: "I’ve been waiting my entire life for these pants. They’re comfy but also very stylish. Perfect for work or a weekend out. The length is amazing (even for a 5'10" woman). I plan on wearing them every day!" —Amy K.
Get it from Universal Standard for $145 (available in sizes 00–40 and in six color combinations).
5. A pair of platform ankle boots designed with a stretch knit around the ankle, making them super easy to pull on as you head out the door to feel that crisp fall air you've been missing since last November. *Long exhale*
Promising review: "These boots fit perfectly. I am a 7.5 in Steve Madden, and these fit TTS. The quality is great so far, and they are super comfy. GET these for fall!!" —Bailey Earp
Get them from Amazon for $47.98+ (available in sizes 5–11 and in 14 colors).
6. A pair of overalls I'm pretty sure are an ~overall~ great purchase because you can wear them now with a T-shirt and then later on in the season with a long-sleeved shirt underneath. Plus, those colors just scream "AUTUMNAL."
Promising review: "If you've been hesitant about whether or not to buy these, then this is your official sign to just do it!! I kept these in my 'Saved for later' cart for nearly a year before finally deciding to take the leap. Oh my GOSH, I am so glad I did! These are officially my favorite pair of overalls and absolutely perfect for fall. They're so comfortable, and I most certainly will be ordering more in other colors. So if you're looking to unleash your inner painter/gardener, then this is the perfect outfit for you :D" —Nathan R Ford
Get it from Amazon $16.14+ (available in sizes S–3X and in 21 colors and patterns).
7. A Carhartt beanie more than 113,000 (!!!) people love, so you know this cute and cozy hat will be your go-to from now through winter and into early spring. And with so many different colors to pick from, you might as well add a couple to your cart so you always have one that coordinates with your outfit.
Promising review: "Best type of this hat I've owned. I like this particular hat because it's long enough that, if it's really cold, you can pull the hat all the way down and double the fabric over your ears to keep them warmer. Most types of these hats, I find, are not deep enough to do that. So this is by far my favorite cold weather hat. Carhartt put some thought into this hat, and it paid off. Superior." —Dave 76
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in one size and in 36 colors).
8. A super-stylish midi skirt made with a rib-knit material, so it's not only stretchy but also comfy to wear even if there's a chill in the air.
Promising review: "This skirt looks so good on. The color is perfect for fall and winter. I will be pairing it with sweaters. It looks expensive on." —Alicia Adams
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 24 colors).
9. A two-toned blazer appropriately titled "Play to Win" because that's exactly what you'll do when you wear it. No matter if you rock it on its own for a night out with friends or add a blouse underneath for a professional moment at the office, there is no stopping you in this stunner of a blazer.
Lilly's Kloset is a Black- and woman-owned online boutique that has been bringing people fashion-forward clothing, shoes, and accessories since 2012. Their mission is to help dress people for their most memorable moments.
Get it from Lilly's Kloset for $88 (available in sizes S–L).
10. An oversize crewneck super easy to throw on in the morning when you *may* have pressed snooze a few too many times and now only have five minutes before you've got to get out the door.
Promising review: "I love this sweater and need to buy it in other colors because I wear it way too much. It washes well. I purchased one size larger than normal because I wanted it to cover my rear so I could comfortably wear it with leggings. It’s perfect!" —Mom2_4
Get it from Amazon for $40.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 32 colors and styles).
11. Everlane's '90s cheeky jeans for a classic yet so on-trend style that's easy to wear. One reviewer even said these were their favorite jeans they've ever worn, which is high praise when it comes to denim.
Promising review: "I have gone through the '90s Cheeky in probably every color (except bone, which is perpetually sold out); they are my favorite jeans I've ever worn in my life. They're comfortable, they fit like a glove, they're durable, they're adorable, and they go with everything. They run a size large and get looser over time and don't retain their original waist size because they don't have stretch. Just remember that." —Alexx S
Get it from Everlane for $108 (available in sizes 23–33, in three lengths, and in six colors).
12. A striped turtleneck with super-cute button detailing on the shoulders for an added detail that really makes this sweater shine. Wear this with jeans for a casual yet chic look every minimalist (and maximalist alike) will approve of.
Promising review: "This sweater is very comfortable and easy to pair with different options. It has four buttons on the left shoulder that add to a dressy look. It can be worn with jeans and a pair of boots or with dress pants. It is warm on a cold day and still light enough that it isn't too bulky. Then it is either as expected or slightly big. The sweater is easy to care for and still looks great after a couple of washings! I would buy this sweater in other colors." —Suzan Hornbeck
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 17 colors).
13. A leopard-print slip midi skirt because animal print is basically an essential, but especially during fall. Reviewers love this skirt not only because it's super cute but also because they say it looks way more expensive than its price tag.
Promising review: "This is by far one of my favorite purchases. It's an awesome skirt, and the price was unbelievable. I'm so happy I purchased this. It looks way more expensive than it is. I get tons of compliments every time I wear it. Buy it; you won’t be disappointed." —Jen Francis
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in sizes XS–XL).
14. A pair of slouchy workwear pants that multiple reviewers have called a "must-have" because not only are they super cute and comfortable, but you can also wear them everywhere from work to the farmers market on Saturday to pick up some apple cider donuts.
I actually just picked these up and love them so much. I think they're a great pre-fall/fall staple and can see myself wearing them a lot. I've already worn them once and got compliments on them. I can see why so many other reviewers are calling them a "must-have."
Promising review: "A must-have! I really like these pants! They are perfect for end of summer to early fall. I love the fabric and the fit! If you're tall, the length in these is perfect." —Anonymous
Get it from Old Navy for $39.99 (available in sizes XS–4X; in regular, tall, and petite; and in three colors).
15. A fuzzy three-piece loungewear set for the days when the only option is to be comfortable, but you don't want to put on your ratty old sweatshirt again. You'll basically be lounging like a Kardashian in this set.
Promising review: "I love this outfit. This has become my go-to when I don’t feel like getting 'dressed' when lying around the house, but still want to feel somewhat put together and not look frumpy. It’s super soft, warm, but not too warm. It’s really cute." —Danielle Weiss
Get the three-piece set from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 26 colors and styles).
16. An off-the-shoulder V-neck blouse brilliantly mixing a soft and stretchy fabric with a super-stylish silhouette for a ~top~ notch look you can wear with your favorite jeans or trousers.
Reviewers do say it runs small, so size up.
Promising review: "This blouse is so elegant! It fits well, but it runs a bit small/tight, so ordering up would be ideal. It’s also versatile, and the material is extremely soft. It has little stretch, but again, I would recommend it. The color is so nice too. I used it for a photo shoot, and it just popped!" —Gesselle Walters
Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 33 colors and sleeve lengths).
17. A sweater dress to *add a little bit of spice* to your wardrobe and give you a standout style you can wear all fall long (as long as you add tights and boots once it gets colder).
Smart Glamour is a woman-owned small business that specializes in creating inclusive, ethical, and sustainable clothing. They offer set sizes up to 15X, but you can also add customization options to make their pieces work perfectly for you.
Get it from Smart Glamour for $70 (available in sizes XXS–15X and in 11 colors/patterns).
18. A chunky knit button-front cardigan you can wear on its own as a shirt or as an extra layer when it starts to get even colder.
Promising review: "I love this neutral taupe heathery color; it’s so much prettier in person. The material is very nice — not too heavy, not too light; it’s truly a perfect fall cardigan or as a layering piece. I’m more like petite size, so it’s hard to find a right-length cardigan. I ordered this in XS; fits great. I also got the matching cropped tank." —Ron Y.
Get it from Amazon for $49.90 (available in sizes XXS–5X and in four colors).
19. A crew-neck sweatshirt for a cozy look that screams "OFF-DUTY MODEL," even if you're just headed to the grocery store to pick up some cereal. Nobody will be able to tell the difference.
Promising review: "I love this sweater! I didn't realize that it wasn't brushed on the inside. The inside is more like a rougher towel texture. But it isn't bad. I actually prefer that sometimes because I am notoriously always hot." —TK
Get it from H&M for $24.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in five colors).
20. A striped button-down shirtdress giving off major Beetlejuice vibes without summoning the "ghost with the most."
Promising review: "For the price, this dress is WONDERFUL. I ordered according to my measurements to fit the bust so it would not pop or gap at buttons. The waist was not too large but will look better with a belt. GREAT for use as a Beetlejuice-inspired look for Halloween and then useful after!" —MrsStricklen
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes 2–20 and in 13 colors and patterns).
21. A broken-in baseball cap capable of turning any bad hair day into a chic outfit day because as soon as you put it on, you'll feel totally put together and stylish.
Promising review: "This cap is so perfect, and you can throw it on with any outfit! I got the beige one, and my sister got the white baseball cap. Both are such staples in our wardrobe now! And the fit is perfect. I love the little brown leather adjustable strap in the back; very luxe and high quality." —SAM97
Get it from Madewell for $19.99+ (available in one size and in five colors).
22. A lightweight maxi shirtdress that will be the perfect final layer to give your outfit that fall touch. But don't fret — because it's lightweight, you won't overheat when you get a little overly excited and pull it out in September when you think it should be cool enough, but really, it still feels like summer outside. UGH!
Promising review: "Lovely! It was a bit big in the midsection, but I bought it oversize on purpose. It looks great with my chunky and thin belts! It's perfect for all seasons. I intend on wearing it this summer and then adding leggings for fall." —AMA
Get it from Amazon for $25.88+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 14 colors).
23. A pair of Levi's jeans I'm going to get ~straight~ to the point about: These will instantly become your new favorite. Don't come crying to me if your other jeans start to get jealous because you're taking this style with you on all your fun fall adventures.
Promising review: "I love these! I have been looking for a nice straight leg with a super-high waist, and these are it! Great fit. They're snug but not too tight, super comfortable. They have a little give and stretch out slightly after wearing, but not too much." —Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $38.25+ (available in sizes 22–39 and in 14 colors).
24. A showstopping wide-leg jumpsuit you could totally pull off in a more formal setting with a leather jacket over the top because the colors are *almost* as pretty as the leaves outside. *OR* you could wear it more casually with a long-sleeved shirt under it. And with how gorgeous this jumpsuit is, I know you'll end up rocking it both ways.
Some reviewers do say that it runs long, so you may have to get it tailored, but they also confirm that it's so worth it.
Rebdolls is a Latina-founded small biz that believes all women deserve amazing fashion. All of their styles are available in women's sizes S–5X.
Promising review: "Buy this jumpsuit! This is the best jumpsuit I ever purchased. I wore this jumpsuit to a concert in Vegas. It was sexy, fun, and versatile. I received many compliments. I did have to get the jumpsuit tailored, but other than that, it's perfect!" —Cam
Get it from Rebdolls for $64.90 (available in sizes M–5X).
25. Sam Edelman loafers you can ~slide~ right on no matter whether you're wearing dress pants, jeans, or even a dress.
Promising review: "These shoes are a favorite! I ordered the black after having a beet red color for about a year and a half. They were comfortable right out of the box, the leather is supple, and they look high quality. I am very happy with my purchase. These are often compared to the Brixton loafer from a high-end fashion brand." —Christine
Get them from Amazon for $150 (available in sizes 4–14, in wide width, and in 14 colors and patterns).
26. A cardigan sweaterdress you'll put on and say is your favorite. Yes, that is a Taylor Swift reference because she is the queen of fall, and this cardigan radiates as many autumnal vibes as Folklore, which is...well...a lot.
Get it from Eloquii for $99.95 (available in sizes 14–28 and in red and black).
27. A long-sleeved V-neck ribbed sweater for those days when you need a no-frills, no-fuss look you can rock no matter what's on your to-do list. This staple will be there for you when you need it.
Promising review: "This is a very high-quality sweater! The material is thick and warm and soft. It's very well made and comfortable. The color is beautiful. I ordered the brown and black one in the XL, and it fits me great." —Michele D.
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in 27 colors and patterns).
28. A Princess Diana embroidered sweatshirt showing her in her *iconic* revenge dress you'll be so obsessed with, you won't want to take it off at the end of the day. (But it's okay because you can always put it on again tomorrow.)
Viable NYC is a woman-owned small business based in New York! Plus, 10% of proceeds from this sweatshirt go to suicide prevention and awareness.
When I came across this sweatshirt while scrolling TikTok, I just knew I HAD to own it. I've loved Princess Diana for years now, and this look is unmatched. And ever since this sweatshirt arrived, I basically haven't taken it off my body. It is so perfect. It's soft and comfortable and yet so chic. I paired it with my faux-leather shorts to show a more dressed-up look. If you're a fan of Diana, you NEED this sweatshirt. Or check out the other designs in the shop, because there are so many other great styles.
Get it from Viable NYC on Etsy for $53+ (available in unisex sizes S–4X and in two styles).
29. A sherpa-lined shacket that reviewers love for its fit, warmth, and style. You can throw this over your outfit when it's still chilly out but you don't feel like busting out your parka quite yet.
Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok, and I was hesitant at first, but I bought it. I’m really small, so I bought the medium to be oversize, and it’s great. I could definitely fit smaller sizes and it would still be big, so if you want the sleeves smaller, I’d size down. So comfortable and cute, especially with bodycon dresses." —Bela Maria
Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in men's sizes S–3X and in 13 colors).
30. A cutout-back midi dress that looks all business in the front until you turn around and *BAM*, it's a party in the back. I mean, just look how cute it looks with a pair of boots! It's *chef's kiss* fall perfection.
Get it from Madewell for $148 (available in sizes XXS–XL and 1X–3X).
31. A pair of palazzo pants you can dress down with a T-shirt and sneakers or dress up with a blouse and heels. Either way you style these pants, they will for sure ~widen~ your outfit selection.
Promising review: "I don't typically wear flowy clothing, but these looked comfortable and stylish, so I took a chance. Once I put them on, I didn't want to take them off! They are very comfortable, and I love the color. My husband even commented that I should get them in more colors, since I like them so much. I wore them to an upscale tearoom event and received a lot of compliments." —World Changer
Get them from Amazon for $22.39+ (available in sizes XS–2X, in short, and in 31 colors/patterns).
32. A detachable shirt collar to help solve your fashion conundrum of how to get the layered look without actually have to wear multiple shirts and overheating on the warmer fall days. Nobody will be able to tell the difference.
Promising review: "Must-have life hack! I saw someone get this off of TikTok, and I totally loved it. It does exactly what you’d want it to do. The shirt can unbutton if you need it to; it’s super easy to put on. I love that it gives the illusion that I have a collared shirt under it without the hassle of wearing an actual collared shirt!!" —Danny
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in three colors and in round and pointed collars).
33. A gingham anorak actually designed with an adjustable drawstring in the waist, meaning you can wear it two different ways. And with how fun and on-trend this jacket it, I can almost guarantee that you'll grab it as soon as the temperature dips below 60 degrees.
Get it from M.M.LaFleur for $495 (available in sizes XS–XXL).
34. A V-neck pleated tunic you'll look and feel so great in, you'll probably start dancing and twirling in it immediately.
Promising review: "This is a great transition dress for fall. I would say with the baby doll fit, it is a loose dress, which is to be expected for the style. I loved it so much, I ordered two other colors!" —Marci
Get it from Amazon for $20.28+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 44 colors, patterns, and sleeve lengths).
35. A swoop-neck top specifically designed with a built-in bra so you don't have to worry about finding the perfect strapless bra (because does that even exist??). Pair this with your favorite pair of jeans and head to a happy hour with your friends that will most definitely turn into a fun night out.
Buzzoms is a Black woman–owned small business creating clothes with a "boob pocket" in them so you can ditch your bra. The pocket is made with a breathable mesh material with an elastic band underneath to hold everything in place.
Get it from Buzzoms for $70 (available in sizes 0–5 and in olive, black, and tan).
36. These Polarized vintage-inspired sunglasses are here to be that final touch that makes your perfect fall outfit feel like *chef's kiss* perfection. If you feel that your outfit is missing something, this is exactly what you can grab to fix that problem.
Promising review: "OBSESSED!!!! They’re sooo cute! They look super high end and expensive. They’re very lightweight and fashionable. I love everything about them. They came in the cutest box and came with a drawstring bag to hold them in and a lens cloth! Love, love, love!" —Tianna
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in eight colors and also in sets of two).
37. An A-line minidress that not only looks super cute but also has pockets on the side, which make it incredibly functional. And the best part? All you have to do is pair it with your favorite knee-high boots for an oh-so-chic fall look.
Get it from Love, Bonito for $45.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and in navy and oat).
38. A chic monochromatic sweater and pencil skirt set that I'm pretty sure is the definition of an easy outfit. No need to spend any extra time figuring out whether your skirt matches your sweater when you know this look will stand out.
Promising review: "I love this set. The quality is good. The skirt is a bit thinner than the sweater, so I wore Spanx underneath. It’s soft, warm, and cozy. The material isn’t itchy. I will have these pieces on repeat. It’s also Pantone’s color of the year. Buy it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $17.21+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in eight colors).
39. And a breathtakingly beautiful pair of kaleidoscope-print boots that are basically the epitome of fall. I mean, just look at that color swirl!! 😍
Promising review: "I love owning these unique boots. They feel like wearing art! They are so versatile and stylish! They're my new favourite wardrobe piece." —Fiona Makris
Get them from Alohas for $203 (available in European sizes 35–42 and in 26 colors and patterns).
