Beaded Bags, Chunky Cardigans, and All the Clothes We're Actually Buying This Fall

"A striped shirt is a forever staple. I've been on the hunt for the right one for the better part of a decade, and while I always think a striped shirt is a classic, I find it's pretty much in constant rotation come Fall." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion and Shop

This Contrast-Stripe Crewneck Sweater in Blue ($36) is the shirt I'm wearing on repeat. I love the way the bright colors pop at the cuffs and collar.

"The cardigan craze is here in full force, ladies and gents. After spotting them all over the Spring 2019 runways and worn boldly on the street, I've got a feverish need for one in mustard. I love the way this shade looks with dark-wash denim." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion

Does Aritzia's Wilfred Karlis Cardigan ($198) not look live-in soft? I love that you can style it open, buttoned all the way down, or just clasped at the neck.

"I've always had a love-hate relationship with corduroy, but this season, I've fallen back in love with the fabric. Not only does it look cool, it's also incredibly comfortable, and I'm quite looking forward to giving my jeans a rest this Fall." — Morgane Le Caer, Assistant Editor, UK

These Mango Corduroy Straight Trousers ($100) are high-waisted and come in the prettiest shade of pink — what else could you want?

"One look at Victoria Beckham's cool-girl approach to dressed-down denim and it was clear — I need this whole outfit, starting with a statement-worthy t-shirt." — HWM

You can feel good about picking up this Phenomenal Woman tTe ($35) — and not just because it'll look cool with your jeans. The proceeds from this shirt benefit seven fierce organizations: the Dr. Maya Angelou Foundation, Essie Justice Group, Girls Who Code, Higher Heights, National Latina Institute For Reproductive Health, Planned Parenthood, and The United State of Women.

"Standard Canadian tuxedos are one thing, but rock yours in cherry red and let the compliments roll in. I've already got a DL1961 cropped denim jacket that's begging for mom jeans in the same shade." — SW

The fabric of my matching denim jacket is super comfortable, so I expect the DL1961 Jerry High Rise Vintage Straight ($189) will be too.

"Who would've thought white boots would actually be so versatile? I love the way they look with dresses and jeans equally, so don't say I didn't warn you when I wear them with everything through Winter." — HWM

With a chunky, walkable sole, not only is this Tabitha Simmons pair ($1,195) totally on-trend, but it might just be the most comfortable investment you make all season, too.

"Oh, the horror when I ripped my wooden beaded bag (from Haiti!!!) coming off the elevator at my apartment. I bought it on the beach for $18 and treasured it so much, I wore it everywhere. I think a natural color works best when it comes to this trend, because then you can wear it for all seasons." — SW

I love the unexpected rectangular shape of the Urban Renewal Vintage White Beaded Waldorf Shoulder Bag ($59). Since I tend to stow away as many packs of gum in my purse as possible, this is the one for me.

"I love the cozy, slightly bundled look of a shearling-lined denim jacket. It's the ideal way to gear up for Fall layering, without committing to a full-length coat quite yet." — HWM

I plan to wear this La Vie Denim & Faux Fur Jacket ($395) layered up every which way all season.

"While chunky dad sneakers are still around, and that's not to be argued, I've noticed a return to the sporty white low-top with a bold splash of color. Work them with equally as bright colors and a designer bag to add a chic touch." — SW

Every single pair of Crosty shoes, handmade by brothers George and Shota Mikaia from Georgia, is embroidered with "Freedom" in Georgian on the toe. I love the red, white, and blue-gray palette of the Crosty Onda Light Red Sneakers ($375) in particular. You can just tell these babies will last for a long time.

"In my opinion, shirtdresses are the single silhouette I always note to be flattering on women of all shapes and sizes. So of course we all need one that's season-less, and I've been on the hunt for mine. If you wear one open over jeans, you can go for the nonchalant layered look." — SW

The first thing I noticed about this Tucker midi trench ($325) is the versatile pattern that essentially goes with every accessory I've ever owned. But the calf length and slit will allow me to show off my shoes (which will likely be cowboy boots right now), and there's even a subtle strip of elastic at the back. Hello, comfort.

"Box bags have been around for quite some time now, and while I've dabbled in the trend, I had never really found a style that truly spoke to me. And then, I came across this incredible creation by Rejina Pyo, which immediately made my heart flutter." — MLC

I mean, how could you not love this gorgeous bag? The Rejina Pyo Olivia Box Bag ($638) comes in a few colors, but this duck egg blue is the perfect hue to offset dark Fall outfits.

"I've never really gotten the whole wearing-leather-in-the-Fall hype. I have a leather skirt that's been sitting in my closet for the past five years, but there's something about a leather shirt that seems so easy to style." — Nikita Ramsinghani, assistant editor, Fashion

I first saw this Nanushka Levi Shell Wrap Top ($376) during a preview, and I was totally shocked by how soft it was. It seems like such a comfortable way to wear leather in the Fall.

"I have a collection full of simple gold earrings but barely any that stand out. I've been trying to add more color to my wardrobe, and I think that adding a cute pair of colorful hoops is an easy place to start." — NR

It's time to up the ante with my jewelry rotation, and what better way to do that than these rainbow Five and Two Dallas Earrings ($55)?

"These are everywhere, and I love how tough they look on the street paired with chunky combat boots. But I'm going for one that's more forgiving and ladylike; a versatile piece that you can also dress up and wear to the bar or dinner with friends." — SW

I'm obsessed with the easy short sleeves and color of this POPSUGAR at Kohl's jumpsuit ($51, originally $68), which stops mid-shin, so you can also show off your shoes.

"Confession time: I have never worn anything that comes in an animal print. This season however, I have fallen in love with the way it looks on a midi skirt, and I'm already looking forward to creating different outfits around this one statement piece." — MLC

"Pleated midi skirts are my jam, so when I spotted the Zara Animal Print Midi Skirt ($50), I just knew it belonged in my closet."

"What's more classic than a perfect pair of black boots, you might ask? A pair in a striking blue color, of course. This season, I want to swap out my classic ankle boots for a more angelic blue hue." — NR

I can't wait to add a pop of color to my outfits with these gorgeous blue Maryam Nassir Zadeh Agnes Boots ($581).

"I basically live in sweatpants. After work, I come home and immediately switch into a pair of cozy sweatpants. This month, I actually want to find a way to wear my sweatpants out in public and make 'em look cool." — NR

You don't understand how soft these Lauren Moshi Tanzy Color Star Embroidery Sweats ($145) are. I want to buy them in bulk.

"It might be somewhat controversial, but there's nothing I love more than to wear white in the Fall. There's just something about the crispness of the color, and the way white sweaters stand out against darker pants." — MLC

The delicate lace insert, the fuzziness of the fabric, the wrap effect . . . yes, the Sézane Timothée Jumper ($120) might just be the most perfect sweater I have ever laid eyes on.

"It's truly a liberating feeling when you don't have to wear an annoying bra that digs into your rib cage all day. I've recently swapped out most of my underwire bras for simple, cozy bralettes, and I'm not looking back." — NR

Comfort is always key. This Richer Poorer Cut Out Bralette ($28) and Femme Boxer ($24) come in the prettiest lavender hue.

"The juxtaposition between a feminine, slightly sexy lace skirt with a chunky, oversize sweater is one of my favorite looks of all time. It's functional and style-forward without being too complicated. And, like all outfits I love, it passes the yes-I-can-wear-sneakers-with-this test with flying colors." — HWM

The bright color of this Ganni Lace Skirt ($235) means it will quite literally be the bright spot in any Fall outfit.

"Recently, pink coats are all I've been able to think about. While it might not be the first hue you'd think of in the Fall, it'll add a sweet touch of color to my darker outfits, and I just know that putting it on will instantly brighten up my mood." — MLC

The blush tone of this Max Mara Pure Wool Coat ($1,450) is, to put it simply, quite perfect. The price might be steep, but it's an investment piece that I will be able to wear year after year.
