Say Hello to September With Our Fall Must Haves at Every Price
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
September will always feel like back to school to us, so even if we're just walking back into work after a long Labor Day weekend, we all deserve a refresh. Inside, our shopping editors hunted down the very best of September's new arrivals — the key pieces we're snagging for ourselves, like a cozy live-in jacket, a transitional day dress, and a few of our favorite essentials for entertaining at home to welcome the Fall. Sure, saying goodbye to Summer is tough, but consider this the silver lining, and start shopping accordingly.
POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's Floral Dress
"I look out for versatile dresses I can wear with boots, heels, jackets, blazers, an army jacket, you name it, every season. This piece from the POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's is that in a nutshell — but the details make it extra special. I love the sportier piping at the sleeves and collar to balance the florals and ruffled hemline." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion and Shop
Allsaints Anderson Sheepskin Leather Biker Jacket
"Considering how much I love and wear the black version of this Allsaints leather jacket, I'm convinced I need the white one ($525) as well. I especially love how the color isn't super stark — it's more of a creamy off-white, which helps keep it from veering into retro territory. I envision it over transitional dresses now and layered with Winter whites later." — Stephanie Nguyen, native editor, Shop
LAFCO New York House & Home Candle
"I like to wind down with new candles every few months, and right now this gardenia-scented LAFCO New York House & Home Candle ($65) is exactly what I need." — Rebecca Brown, editor, Shop and Moms
Studio 33 Woke Shoulder Flap Bag
"I'm all about the tortoiseshell accents this season, and this bag ($98) features the material in a way I've never seen before: chain-links! Plus, the under-$100 price point can't be beat." — SN
Urban Outfitters Chloe Balloon Sleeve Button-Down Top
"I'm still on the hunt for the perfect Victorian-inspired blouse, and I like that this top ($59) is simple and streamlined. I can totally see it with jeans and boots for Fall." — SN
Machete Sezane Earrings
"I'm shamelessly addicted to statement jewelry, so obviously I have to own these Machete Sezane Earrings ($78) from Lou & Grey. The acetate is made to look like tortoiseshell, which is perfect for the season. Plus, they truly go with everything." — Macy Cate Williams, assistant editor, Shop
Superga 2750 Suede Lace Up Sneakers
"These Superga 2750 Suede Lace Up Sneakers ($99) are sleek and sophisticated, but they've got shearling inside to keep my feet warm. I'm ordering them ASAP." — India Yaffe, editorial assistant, Shop
Sockwell Incline Micro Compression Socks
"You don't realize that cute compression socks don't exist until you need a pair. With all the traveling that I've been doing, I wanted to find a pair to help maximize circulation, reduce fatigue, and minimize swelling in-flight. Luckily, I found these socks ($17) just in time for my next trip. They don't look like compression socks, and they're actually cute enough to show off." — SN
The POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's Black Trousers With White Side Stripe
Isabel Marant Tote
"I need a bag that can really carry its weight — and then some. Between toting a laptop and a breast pump to work, this new mom needs all the extra space I can get, but I refuse to compromise on style. Enter Isabel Marant's Doogan Shopper ($1,120). This will take me everywhere I need to go with everything I (and the baby) need." — HWM
Alias Mae Ahara Bootie
"Snakeskin and snake prints are huge for Fall, and these ankle boots ($250) are how I'm planning to get in on the trend. I love the chunky block heel and pointy toe." — SN
Tibi V-Neck Sweater
"With a deep v-neck and the dreamiest shade of blue, this Tibi V-Neck Sweater ($395) is what I want to wear all Fall. It looks so cozy and perfect." — IY
Anine Bing Cindy Pants
"These Anine Bing Cindy Pants ($249) will be an easy piece to style throughout the season. I can tuck bulky sweaters into the waistband and even t-shirts." — RB
Topshop Floral Satin Slipdress
"My best friend just bought this Topshop Floral Satin Slipdress ($75) for a Fall wedding, and I'm so impressed with the fabric and cut. It's understatedly sexy — especially the draped back. I love how versatile it is; it will look cool with a leather jacket and booties for a night out." — MCW
Tibi Track Jacket
"Anyone who knows me knows I obsess over anything and everything that is soft and furry. The second I saw this colorful Tibi Track Jacket ($395), I knew it was the perfect Fall bomber I could wear on repeat." — Krista Jones, assistant editor, Shop
Gucci Gingham Slides
"I lived in my leather Gucci slides; now I'm adding to the collection with the irresistible gingham slides ($750). This will be the outfit-maker I'll add to jeans and sweaters all Fall." — HWM
EMU Australia Wrenlette Slippers
"Every Fall, I treat myself to a pair of new slippers I can cuddle up in when I'm relaxing at home. Last year, I got these EMU Australia Wrenlette Slippers ($60) in a neutral shade and wore them to death; this year, I want to get this cool blue pair." — KJ
Kenzo Midi Flare Skirt
"I'm not quite ready to trade in my skirts and dresses, so I've been on the hunt for the perfect transitional piece. Right now I can wear this Kenzo Midi Flare Skirt ($370) with a tee and sneakers, and as it gets colder, I can style it with a sweater and booties." — KJ
Loeffler Randall Ava Tote
"I thought my furry obsession would never make it into my handbag collection . . . until I saw this Loeffler Randall Ava Tote ($495). Its cute top-handle silhouette and pastel pink shade feel like it was made for me." — KJ
POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's Heart Printed Skirt
Casper The Linen Sheet Set
"I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a chronic sleep-sweater. When I heard Casper released its new Linen Sheets ($200-230), I knew I needed to try them. They're already receiving rave reviews from customers who are experiencing cooler and comfier nights." — KJ
The POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's Pink Heart Hoodie
"A hoodie may seem like a simple piece, but it's actually one of my favorite things to style. The POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's Pink Heart Hoodie is great to throw on with midi skirts, over maxi dresses, or underneath my long coat. No matter how I style it, the pretty color makes every look feel more fresh." — KJ
Topshop Snakeskin Print Denim Jacket
"This, to me, is the perfect September jacket. With jeans and a white t-shirt, the Topshop Snakeskin Print Denim Jacket ($85) will look impossibly cool, and still keep me warm." — IY
Sam Edelman Winona Booties
"After seeing Western trends all over the runway, I couldn't resist buying these newly released
Sam Edelman Winona Booties ($160). They include subtle Western references that are stylish but don't make me feel like a straight-up cowgirl. The two-inch stacked heel and soft sole make them comfortable enough to walk in all day long. This pair will be my Fall go-to." — MCW
River Island Check Print Ruffle Miniskirt
"When the weather gets chilly, my regular uniform is tights, boots, and a skirt. This River Island Check Print Ruffle Miniskirt ($70) is a playful and unique addition to my wardrobe. I can't wait to wear it with a black turtleneck and leather jacket." — MCW
Caravan Cafe Glasses
"San Francisco is gorgeous in September, so I'm prepping to spend lots of time entertaining outdoors. These Caravan Cafe Glasses ($38 for a set of six) will make the perfect addition to our tablescape — and I love that they ring in under $50." — HWM
Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Eyeshadow Palette
"A bronze smoky eye will feel outdated when you get your hands on this Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Eyeshadow Palette ($42). Deep plums and pinky taupes will provide a refreshing autumnal look. The color payoff and staying powers of these shades will make this palette your new favorite." — MCW
Alo Airbrush Tech Lift High Waist Leggings
"The weather's starting to cool off, and I'm in desperate need of new workout leggings. These Alo Airbrush Tech Lift High Waist Leggings ($122) have a second-skin feeling that's so comfortable, plus they're super flattering and will go with all my tops. They'll also be that extra motivation I need to make it to spin class." — IY
The POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's Varsity Sweater
"I can't wait to layer this POPSUGAR Collection at Kohl's Varsity Sweater over a classic t-shirt. The thick fabric will keep me cozy, yet I'll still look chic. Plus, the pockets come in handy for my phone and lipstick." — MCW
Hatch Mama Rescue Oil
"I started using Hatch Mama's line of pregnancy-safe, baby-safe beauty products when I was pregnant last year and haven't stopped. This Rescue Oil ($26) is so soothing — I stash it in my purse and roll it on midday when I need a minute. When those subtle ginger and sweet orange notes hit, I'm instantly calmer." — HWM
The Teddy Jacket
"I love the oversize fit of The Teddy Jacket ($198) and how high up the neckline goes. It'll keep me warm when it starts to get windy." — RB
