Let's talk fall essentials pt. 1

Happy Tuesday! My inbox has been flooded with fall shopping requests, so I figured it was time to get started. This will be a two-part post since covering everything in one felt a bit overwhelming.

Use these posts as a guide to transition your wardrobe to fall. You may not need as much as you thought you did, or maybe you are missing the basics which is why you feel uneasy.

Every September I kick myself for not ordering the sold out items I was eyeing in August (specifically shoes). This is your reminder to grab them!

*All price points included

Dark denim

Cos straight jean. Other favorites include the Joan Jean (size up 2 sizes), Mitchell Jean (true to size), this gorgeous pair from Dries van Noten and this pair from Proenza. The Khaite Danielle jean is a classic and this color couldn’t be more perfect for the fall.

The perfect white tee

1. Cos Clean Cut T-Shirt

2. Frame Baby Tee

3. Perfect White Tee Springsteen

Button downs: absolutely white but if you tend to wear them a lot like me, I suggest a few colors.

1. Toteme

2. Nili Lotan Raphael (I always scout TRR for these before committing to retail price)

3. Cos

4. Banana Republic

Loafers

The Row Men’s Loafer, The Row Soft Loafer, more here (look for less here), YSL Le Loafer (yes Cettire is legit… this is where I got mine. size up half a size), Jamie Haller Penny Loafers, Freda Salvador Elba Loafer

I have also previously mentioned Bally’s new boat loafer that I love a lot (look for less here). Gucci loafers are also forever (and without a doubt the most comfortable).

Flats

The Row ballerinas (look for less here) / fishnet ballet flat (look for less here and here) / Aeyde ballet flat / burgundy flat / taupe ballet slippers (in black here, look for less here and here)

*I also love my Chanel ballet flats. I have these.

Boots

The Row zip boot / Aeyde Neil boot / Khaite nevada (I also love these, these for less… the arizona’s on sale here - I sized up half a size, look for less here) / the new Toteme bootie / Aquazurra honore (trying these out… stay tuned)

A couple other favorites:

1. The Row Ranger Lace-Up Boots. Less expensive option here (people rave about these)

2. These are final sale but I love the croc for a play with texture

A little heel

wilder slingback heel (these new Manolo’s are beautiful) / Manolo maysli / Tony Bianco scooter heel / the bare sandal (look for less here and here) / Khaite river pump (have and love… I am a 9 and have a 40)

This is also a fun area to look to vintage. I will pull some more favorites within the next few weeks but found these, these and these while quickly browsing.

Bags, pants, trench coats, lightweight knits and more outwear will come next week! Drop any other requests in the comments.

In case you missed Thursday’s post…
