As our feeds are flooded with dazzling Fashion Month footage — including NYFW trends, celebrity front rows, and fall street style — there’s plenty of inspiration to go around. For the last several days, London Fashion Week has been offering seriously good collections for the spring/summer 2026 season, but our eyes have been on the cobblestone streets. Outside of shows for the likes of Simone Rocha, Erdem, Emilia Wickstead, and Harris Reed, attendees strutted in their own runway-worthy outfits.
I first fell in love with Zerina’s work through her styling of Beyoncé’s Black Is King, where every look embodied heritage and power. As the founder of Black Owned Everything and her LA showroom The Show Must Go On, Zerina is committed to elevating the visibility of Black-owned brands and bringing her discerning eye to a wider community. This fall, she’s forecasting Luxe Grunge, an updated spin on academic prep, and bold pops of scarlet, in classic outfit formulas that feel both aspirational and completely wearable.
As we move on from our summer favorites during this transitional weather period, Refinery29 editors have started taking our autumn must-haves out for a spin. From September onward, we reach for versatile staples like fall jackets (think: trench coats with a twist), spacious handbags (from oversized totes to slouchy shoulder bags), and boots (including tried-and-true knee-highs) from reader-favorite brands like Free People, Damson Madder, and Abercrombie & Fitch that can serve as outfit building blocks. For our athleisure needs, there’s an active onesie; for eveningwear, there’s a Brat green kaftan gown. We’re also staying up to date on trending items, such as burgundy jackets and not one, but two red bags, which add a pop of color to our tried-and-true neutrals.
While you can still throw on a kitschy graphic T-shirt or black knee-high boots like Charli XCX did throughout Brat summer, we implore you to add Brat Green pieces (from sweaters to sneakers) into your fall outfits, too. This season, tread the waters with green accessories like handbags, scarves, and kitten heels for a pop of color when styled with neutral pieces. Or jump all in and try a green sweater dress, coat, or jeans for a grander statement. No matter how bold (or brat) you go, you’ll be sure to turn heads and make others green with envy.
“For A/W24 we devised a wardrobe that expresses creativity as well as timeless taste. Taking the pioneers of jazz as a starting point, we applied their improvisational techniques to fashion,” said Linda Wikell, concept designer at H&M Studio, in a press release. “The result is a collection of reinvigorated classics, with clever, versatile pieces that tread the line between day and night, masculine and feminine, always guaranteeing effortless style.”
As a denim lover, fall is my favorite season for fashion. And because there’s no such thing as having too many jeans, I was eager to explore Anthropologie’s fall offering, which is full of designer denim, after having tried and styled its beachy Paige jeans over the summer.
This time around, I’m putting the retailer’s indie-inspired Mother autumnal denim pieces to the test. The LA-based lifestyle brand creates bottoms, tops, accessories, and more inspired by memories of growing up in California in the ‘70s. Tapping into the sartorial experimentation and whimsy of that era, I styled four pairs of Mother Denim jeans for different occasions, from casual seasonal activities to professional commitments.
In general, wide-leg is my favorite pant silhouette, because I find it suits my hourglass figure. So, I of course had to try a couple of pairs in that shape. However, I also stepped into new territory, trying flares (for the first time), since they’re a Mother signature. While I was very skeptical about wearing the stretchy-yet-snug, curve-hugging jeans, I was quite surprised by how I felt in them in the end.
Read on to see how I’m styling Mother wide-leg and flare jeans for the fall (and beyond), and how you can achieve the looks yourselves.

Third time’s the charm for Wrangler and Staud, as the two brands link up for another sure-to-be-hit collection.
Even with so many other fall denim collaborations popping up, this one stands out: The latest Wrangler x Staud capsule features bestsellers — including the fan-favorite Biggest Jean Jacket — with a twist (now in reversible shearling!), plus brand-new styles (including a cropped denim zip jacket, boasting a statement shearling collar) and fresh colorways for the cooler months (true blue, brown, green, black, and cream).
For jeans, there are (excitingly!) three new silhouettes: a cropped bootcut, a slim straight fit, and a dramatic flare. (Since wide-leg jeans are having a moment this fall, don’t be afraid to go bold with denim choice.) More on-trend additions include corset-inspired denim vests and split-hem denim maxi skirts. All the pieces can be mixed and matched easily, which takes the guesswork out of denim-on-denim styling for fall.
The nine-piece collection ranges between $165 and $395, and is available to shop at Wrangler.com and Staud.clothing, as well as in select Nordstrom stores.
Whether you choose to pair a cream denim jacket with matching flare jeans, a black denim vest with a green maxi skirt, or any Wrangler x Staud denim style with existing pieces in your fall wardrobe, the possibilities are endless. Partake in the Western fashion trend, or mix and match to your heart’s desire — just make sure to cart up your favorite pieces ASAP.

Many summer dress styles can transition from summer to fall, but keep an eye out for fall-appropriate fabrics, sleeve-lengths, colors, and prints. Right now, you can find milkmaid dresses in trending leopard print rather than dainty florals, drop-waist dresses in earth tones like green and mauve rather than pastels, and shirtdresses in bold plaid rather than gingham. Look out for midi styles in slightly heavy knits, denims, poplins, and corduroy, too.
