6 Cool-Girl Fashion Items to Wear Into Fall From $10

Don’t get me wrong, I love sourcing style ideas from runways and celebrities, but sometimes the  best fashion inspiration comes from my personal circle. As a New York City-based shopping editor, I’m surrounded by some pretty chic people—and I can’t help but notice they’re all reaching for the same effortless pieces ahead of fall. As a bonus, It Girls like Oprah, Jennifer Lawrence, and Hailey Bieber have even cosigned a few of the following styles. And did I mention prices start at just $10?  

Below, browse through the elevated pieces I’m spotting on practically every block as autumn approaches. You’ll find easy transitional tops, leg-elongating bottoms, and sneakily flattering accessories—all for less than $100. If you act quickly, you can even score highly-coveted fashion finds from fan-favorite brands like Sperry and SET Active.   

Editor-Loved Cool-Girl Styles 

Sperry Slim Boat Shoes

Fashion people are making a case for the preppy boat shoe renaissance—and I’m on board. If you ask me, it’s only a matter of time before these Sperrys become fall’s biggest footwear trend. Naturally, my fellow editors are already sporting the luxe-looking shoes in their summer outfit rotations, and I’m grabbing a pair before they inevitably sell out come fall.         

Zescia Collared Striped Long-Sleeve Top

I’m calling it now: Rugby shirts are going to be everywhere this autumn. I recently spotted my stylish friend wearing this exact Zescia collared top, and I couldn’t believe it was just $20 at Amazon. She wore her pullover as an effortless pool cover-up, and I plan to pair mine with relaxed jeans and, of course, my boat shoes into next season. Snag the versatile pick in 11 colorways while it’s still on sale.   

Elleven Casual Knee-Length Shorts

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, bermuda shorts are the moment, and they’re not going anywhere once summer comes to a close. We’ve seen trendsetters like Gwyneth Paltrow sporting lengthy styles all season, and we can expect to spot the same oversized shorts into fall. Think: bermuda silhouettes, long boots, and chunky sweaters. (I have chills!)  

Baleaf Athletic Striped Pants

Speaking of cool, fall-ready bottoms, consider adding track pants to your wardrobe—and not just for workouts. Last autumn, Oprah and Jennifer Lawrence proved that the lounge bottoms can actually look really chic, and I’ve seen countless styling iterations around NYC ever since. Not only can the relaxed pants add a sporty edge to any outfit, but they also feel like your favorite pajama bottoms (a win-win!). 

Dailyacc Satin Scarf

ICYMI: Everyone from Hailey Bieber to Kylie Jenner are wearing silky scarves. If you get a little creative, the workhorse accessories can be sported in a wide variety of ways: New York City girls are tying styles around their waists for a flattering cinched look, and around their heads to elevate simple ensembles. I’m certain that these eye-catching scarves will stick around through fall, just in deeper, richer colorways.   

SET Active Sculptflex Breathe High Rise Leggings

The coolest people in my hot yoga classes all seem to be wearing monochrome outfits from SET Active. It Girls like Hailey Bieber and Kaia Gerber have pledged their allegiance to the activewear brand for years, and I’m finally getting my hands on SET’s Sculptflex Breathe High Rise Leggings as temperatures cool down. I plan to pair the butt-lifting bottoms with their matching bra top under wrap cardigans post-workouts à la supermodel-off-duty.      

Run to get your hands on these six fall-ready styles while they’re available from just $10.
