As much as I adore summer, I am enjoying going through the first fall pieces on my favorite sites. And let’s be honest, if August flies by as quickly as June and July did, we’ll be lighting those pumpkin candles before you know it.
So here are some on-trend picks without the designer price tag.
First up, academia-inspired looks were all over the runways. Think plaid and checkered patterns, pleating and collared tops.
This herringbone sweater from Sézane is giving chic college professor - make sure to add a wide belt like they did.
Asymmetry and draping are also big this season, and this STAUD sweater checks those boxes.


Oversized outerwear is in, and I love the shape of this Tuckernuck jacket.
The influx of bohemian and cowboy aesthetics means fringed accessories are everywhere. This Madewell bag is at a terrific price point.
And finally, these Reformation sneakers look just like the low top suede styles that luxury brands are putting out.
