Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A V-neck cardigan sweater to welcome sweater weather with open (and warm and cozy) arms. You can wear this layered over a dress or paired with some straight-leg jeans for a Parisian-chic look.
2. A wool-blend blazer, because there's something about fall weather that just makes dressing like an academic make ~sense~ (even if it's been years since the last time you attended a lecture). This blazer is pretty much the epitome if the "goth academia" trend that's surfacing on TikTok.
3. A sherpa zip-up for those mornings when you just wish you could walk out of the house wrapped up in your blanket. This jacket obviously isn't a blanket, but it comes close with its warm and fuzzy texture.
4. A pair of classic jeans, because there's nothing like breaking in new denim as the weather cools down. These jeans have a good bit of stretch, meaning they'll feel cozy from the first moment you put them on.
5. A pair of straight-leg yoga pants so that you can embrace the flare trend even when it comes to your leisurewear collection. Why not spruce up the lower half of your Zoom outfit from time to time?!
6. And to spruce up the upper half of your Zoom outfit, a clip-dot ruffle button-up that feels as light as air while making you camera-ready all day long.
7. A flannel squareneck top to ring in the season of plaid! If you're bulk buying clothes for both the fall and winter seasons, consider this piece for any upcoming holiday party.
8. Or, if you're not in need of a top, why not try an A-line mini skirt? This, plus a structured button-down, is the key to looking pumpkin pie-ready at the next family gathering you attend.
9. A pair of sherpa clog slippers, because clogs are officially back! These shoes have a cork sole (much like your beloved Birks) and are perfect to use as slippers at home, during early morning walks, or even while running errands around town.
10. A mid-length coat to keep you feeling warm and looking like you have your seamstress on speed dial. This comes in petite sizes, and my 5'0" self is so excited to rock a mid-length jacket that *actually* ends above my knee without any tailoring required.
11. A suede mini skirt — a necessity for people with busy schedules in need of versatile outfits. Wear this, plus a black turtleneck, for a look that can take you from work to dinner to after-dinner drinks!
12. A bow-neck ruffle top so that you can show the world just how much of a present you truly are ✨🎁.
13. A classic turtleneck, because is a fall wardrobe even a fall wardrobe without at least one turtleneck inside?!
14. A pair of cotton flare pants to add a groovy '70s silhouette to your wardrobe without compromising your minimalist, neutral-leaning aesthetic. Wear these pants with cowboy boots and your favorite sweater for a simple yet stunning 'fit.
15. An extra-soft polo sweater that feels just as buttery as it looks (I've tried it, and I love it!). With a structured collar, this sweater will bring chicness to all your looks — even your Saturday lounge outfits!
16. A teddie sweater you'll want to snag in every color possible. It's an ideal choice for layering over button-downs or wearing on its own during quiet mornings. With its relaxed yet structured fit and durability, there's no wondering why this has been a staple J.Crew SKU for years.
17. A warm and cozy scarf since 'tis FINALLY the season of scarves!!
18. A plaid tiered midi dress if you want to rock fall colors, but the weather in your neck of the woods is still reminiscent of summer. This dress can keep you cool when worn on its own, or act as a top layer over a warm crewneck sweater and pair of tights.
19. A pair of mid-rise corduroy pants that work in practically any situation — you can dress these up with a blouse and booties for a rooftop party, or dress them down with hiking boots while going apple picking!
20. And a poplin top with ruffle cuffs if you don't want to forgo bright colors just yet. Wear this, plus light wash jeans, for a look that is the perfect balance of a bright summery ensemble and a neutral fall look.
