The 32 Best Early Fall Fashion Picks, According to Editors

I like summer, beach days, and linen dresses as much as the next person, but I’m a fall girl through and through. I’m ready to dip into suede, boots, and knitwear—give me golden leaves, crisp air, and fall fashion any day. Although we technically have a month until fall’s official start, I’m already building out my seasonal shopping list. No shade to summer, but I’m ready for a wardrobe reset.

The fall collections are just starting to land, so I’ve been adding my favorite pieces and key seasonal buys to my cart all month. I’m specifically focused on early fall items right now, the pieces I can start wearing immediately with some of my summer items and then continue to layer throughout the season. Think plaid shirts, suede bags, transitional dresses, and funnel-neck outerwear. Not only do these have the longest shelf life, but my fashion-editor senses are also telling me many of these will likely be sold out by the time September 22 rolls around. Below are the 32 best early fall fashion picks, from the $90 Zara dress our editors are buzzing about to the Western-inspired Ralph Lauren bag destined for It status.
