In my quest for the perfect long-sleeve shirt, I've come across some pretty worthy brands, to be honest. But what it really comes down to is fabric and construction. That's what makes this Free People tee a dream: it's made of an ultra-soft and stretchy cotton knit. 

I adore everything about this striped style, from the autumnal color combo and cute collar to the button detail. Don't be surprised if you catch me wearing this all season long. 

Nine times out of ten, during the fall, you'll find me in jeans and a sweater, so I'm refreshing my cold-weather denim collection with this dark wash pair. This pair of jeans feels more elevated than my usual blues, thanks to the extended waistband and stylish wide leg fit. 

Plus, the tummy features powermesh panels that mold to your body and hold everything in for a flattering, streamlined look. No wonder Wit & Wisdom is a Nordstrom shopper favorite year after year.

"Do I need a jacket?" If the yo-yo weather of September has you uttering this common refrain, I have a surprising answer: "No. What you need is a flannel shirt." Specifically, this lightweight Lucky Brand button-up — it'll ease you into the new season before you have to break out your heavier outerwear.

Pro tip: Pair the navy blue plaid piece with jeans now, then wear it under a cardigan or crewneck for a cute layered look when the temps really drop.

I wear booties practically every day in the fall and winter. They're definitely my No. 1 closet staple, but that also means they take a beating. So this year, I'm upgrading my collection with this investment-worthy pair from Sam Edelman.

Available in eight colors (both leather and suede finishes!), these babies can be worn with just about anything — from jeans and slacks to dresses and skirts. They have a comfortable 2.75-inch and classic shape that'll allow you to sport them for seasons to come.

I love a bucket bag for its timeless shape and roomy interior, so this wallet-friendly Mango design is at the top of my wishlist. Available in four neutral hues, including classic brown, this is sure to become your new everyday bag for the fall.

This style features a slightly slouchy silhouette, and it has both a top handle and a removable strap that lets you wear the purse as a crossbody, too.

I love to mix and match my jewelry, so when I saw these silver and gold earrings, I immediately added them to my cart. The geometric orb shape is so unique, yet totally wearable. 

The high-shine metal makes these huggies look so much more expensive than they are. Your friends and family will never know they were only $30! 

This month, I'm swapping out my dingy white sneakers for these sleek brown ones. This '70s-inspired style features Puma's iconic wave detail and has a low top silhouette that lets your favorite socks peek out. 

Whether I'm running errands, going on a long walk or exploring a new city, I know these supportive kicks will keep my feet comfortable all day long thanks to the flexible rubber sole.

While I love leaning into fall hues, like brown and chestnut and deep orange, this plum sweater instantly caught my eye when I was scrolling. Not only does this color look gorgeous next to any shade of denim, but this Caslon top is a wool and cashmere blend that promises to be extra cozy.

The V-neck design has a slightly slouchy fit, and it does come in four other neutral shades if this dark pink hue isn't for you.

Who says loafers have to be basic and boring? Not me! These penny loafers from Vince Camuto feel both modern and classic, thanks to the timeless shape and the scattered gold studs.

Wear these loafers with trousers or jeans and a sweater, or pair them with your favorite fall dress — they're just as versatile as as your go-to ballet flats or clogs.

Master those weird weather days with ease with this breathable trench coat. The double-breasted, belted style is ideal for the days that start chilly and then warm up by lunch. Available in olive, black and navy, the jacket also features corduroy details at the collar and has a removable hood so you can easily combat the wind and rain. 

Take it from this pleased shopper: "Everything about this coat is stunning! It’s lined, has substantial drape and weight, and lies beautifully. The fabric is lovely — it is simply elegant."
