One whiff of the cool-crisp air of fall and I am a transformed woman. Somehow the season’s arrival just makes me feel in my element both mentally and when it comes to my closet. It’s for that very reason that I perked up when I came across an email announcing the latest Splendid x Cella Jane capsule collection—it is filled with a chic array of pieces that speak to my inner fall-girl and I know it will speak to yours as well.
The collection has a variety of standouts that are a mix of seasonal staples and key fall trends. Think cozy knits, ribbed separates, elevated tops, and more, alongside of-the-moment outerwear pieces—the scarf coat and toggle-front sherpa coat are both must-haves. Keep scrolling to check out 15 of my top picks from the collection as well as some outfit ideas to get you inspired.
As lovers of Scandinavian fashion, we can’t help but get excited when an American A-lister puts one of our favorite brands on the map stateside. Yes, Scandi folks have known about the Skall Studio, the women’s ready-to-wear fashion and accessories brand, for ages. But, thanks to a recent rainy day sighting, we can thank Kendall Jenner for directing the spotlight on this Copenhagen-based designer.
Celebrated for its smart, functional outerwear, highest-quality knits, and capsule-wardrobe-like offerings, Skall Studio is known as a value-based brand, striving to make a difference in the fashion industry by emphasizing the use of natural materials, while also excluding fur or leather from its collections. Ahead, shop 10 pieces from Skall’s Fall/Winter 23 collection.
It’s almost like the universe is aligned with my shopping proclivities because as soon as the first day of fall arrived, sweater weather came with it. As an unabashed fan of fall, I’d be lying if I said that I hadn’t been thinking about cooler weather for months now and anticipating the fall days that are breezy enough to give me an excuse to cozy up into layers. Now that they’re here, I can finally use the weather as justification for all the stunning sweaters I’m seeing in the market right now.
All over the place, brands are releasing sweaters into their new-arrivals sections, and there’s a large variety of knitwear to choose from. I spent over four hours going through 50+ pages of products, so when I say I did the legwork to find all the best fall sweaters for you, I mean it. I may be a tad biased here, as I’ve personally fallen in love with many of the picks you’re about to discover here. Once you see the chic options I pulled in a range of prices, from affordable to investment, I think you’ll agree these 29 knits are the season’s best.
Who else is still on a fashion inspiration kick from NYFW? Out of all the contemporary and elevated pieces I spotted, a few looks stood out above the rest, and I just had to shop them for myself. First off, classic silhouettes aren’t going anywhere, which explains why almost every fashion person running from show to show was wearing leather or tailored suiting. I also fell in love with the elegant long coats and statement party dresses (with lots of fringe) for a night out. Finally, any fall wish list wouldn’t be complete without some cozy layers. In my opinion, the best place to shop all these trends is at Bloomingdale’s. The iconic retailer has everything I need for an upgraded fall wardrobe. I’ll be stopping by its flagship store on 59th Street, but if you’re not in NYC, don’t worry—its online store has an even bigger selection of trendy pieces. (I could scroll for hours.) Keep reading to check out the pieces I’ll be prioritizing for fall.
Ask any fashion editor and they’ll reluctantly share that their secret to buying expensive-looking knitwear for fall is H&M. From rib-knit dresses to cashmere crewnecks the Swedish retailer never misses when it comes to cozy, soft pieces that not only bring us comfort but also exude luxurious vibes. In fact, all the knits I’ve selected today look way more expensive than their price tag. H&M’s latest knitwear drop is also filled with trend-forward styles that look like they came straight off the runway. Think cinched waists, peplum silhouettes, and trending gray hues, along with the classic cuts you’ll reach for time and time again. I scoured their entire collection of knitwear and below, I’m sharing the styles I’m most excited about for the forthcoming drop in temperature. And don’t worry—I won’t judge you for snagging more than one.
While the word “cardigan” may not exactly set your pulse racing, it’s clear the classic staple is having a major fashion moment this season. The easy basic never really left the runways or our wardrobes, but there was a deluge of styles and iterations on the fall/winter 2023 runways—from Miu Miu’s prim and proper crew-neck cardis styled with sheer midi skirts to Prada’s fitted ribbed silhouettes styled with corporate-chic tapered trousers to slouchy cardi-and-skirt sets seen at Loewe—proving the power and unexpected versatility of the fall staple.
If you love cardigans as much as I do and want some inspiration on how to wear them this season, I’m sharing a whole host of fresh and cool styling suggestions from the street style set and the runways as well as my favorite cardigan picks of the season.
If there was one piece of clothing that I overcompensated on last fall, it was pants. So this season, I decided to give myself a “pants ban,” opting to focus on knitwear and accessories instead. I’m a firm believer that these are the items that can make or break a fall outfit, so I want to invest in expensive-looking pieces that I’ll be able to wear for many years. For this reason alone, I made my way over to QVC. The retailer has really surprised me with an array of fall finds, especially in the site’s pre-owned section. (I’m still salty about missing out on an original ’90s Dior saddle bag.) The site’s carefully curated knitwear basics are the front-runners in my cart, making the hard task of refreshing my seasonal closet that much easier. Keep scrolling to take a look at the pieces that I’m taking to checkout.
The leaves haven’t even started to change color yet on the East Coast, but it’s safe to say that most people are more than ready for fall. After an unbelievably hot summer, I’m looking forward to crisp sunny mornings, cooler temperatures at night, and perhaps a fall foliage tour well before Halloween. But, before all that, I’ll have to carve out a weekend to do my seasonal wardrobe swap. Thanks to small NYC apartments and even tinier closets, I’ll be getting my chunky fall sweaters, cashmere knits, and leather jacket out of my under-bed storage and into my closet.
While unearthing forgotten gems from my own wardrobe is enjoyable, I’m not afraid to admit that fall is my favorite season to shop for clothes. This year, I’m looking to replace worn-out basics like button-up shirts and blue jeans, add a few fun statement pieces, and yes, probably several new sweaters. Hey—sweater weather is a thing for a reason, right?
Given my affinity for classic style, I always make a point of stopping at Gap to see their new pieces each season. And, although I haven’t been inside a store yet, I have spent hours scrolling through Gap’s new arrivals for fall. Yes, they’re that good.
If you’re ready for 60-degree days, check out the 25 pieces I’m adding to my closet ASAP. Even better? Most items are on sale! So, shop it while it’s hot, and get ready for cooler days ahead.
There are so many amazing fall items in Nordstrom’s new arrivals section right now. After scrolling through recently, I specifically noted the top-notch assortment of jackets, boots, and sweaters. You know, the fall staples. Naturally, I decided to put together an edit of the standout finds I think you’ll love.
But here’s the thing. I think many of the items coming your way below could sell out rather quickly over the next weeks because they’re chic and also seem to be already popular among other customers. Fun fact, you can often see how many shoppers are viewing a particular item on the product page.

This weekend, while taking a break from online shopping for work, I decided to do some in-person shopping for some much-needed fall inspiration. Sure, it was 90° with a dew point of one million, but my excitement for cashmere couldn’t be stopped. One glance at the window displays at Banana Republic on 5th Avenue, and I knew my September budget was toast. Its fall collection is what anti-trend dreams are made of: a plethora of cashmere, herringbone everything, and brown suede accessories. After perusing this jackpot of fall essentials, I knew I needed to share my findings. If you’re in the market for high-quality, luxe fall staples with an approachable price point, I’ve got every item you need below. Keep scrolling to shop my current favorites from the collection.
One princess’s trash is another auction-goer’s $1.143 million treasure, as it turns out.
The iconic “Black Sheep” sweater worn by the late Princess Diana sold at auction at Sotheby’s New York Thursday for an eye-popping sum, breaking the record for the highest price fetched for an item worn by Diana. Previously, the record was $604,800 for an aubergine evening gown Diana wore, designed by Victor Edelstein. The sweater was originally estimated to sell for somewhere between $50,000 and $80,000.
The sweater depicts a flock of white sheep set off against a red background, with one black sheep standing out among them. Diana wore the sweater out and about with jeans in 1981, just a month before she married now-King Charles III. She was just 19 years old, and the sweater made an instant impression.
The sweater, designed by Warm and Wonderful and available in reproduction today due to its lasting popularity, is one of at least two that Diana owned—and was the original. The designers of Warm and Wonderful, Sally Muir and Joanna Osborne, recalled getting a letter from Buckingham Palace shortly after Diana made headlines in the attention-grabbing sweater. She’d damaged it, and was hoping to replace or repair the jumper. The company sent a new sweater to her, and the old one was tucked away and forgotten about—until recently.
“I was in the attic in February searching for a pattern, and I just happen to notice this old wine box in a corner—and there was a red sheep jumper wrapped in a cotton bedspread,” Osborne told People. “It was well preserved, and I had a kind of Groundhog Day moment and thought, ‘Could this be the one?’ I looked at the cuff which had obviously been sewn back on, and I called Sal and said, ‘I think I’ve found the actual real Diana jumper!’”
“We had just sort of forgotten about it,” Muir said.
After looking at photos of Diana in the original, Osborne said, “we both felt certain that it was the actual one. We just knew because every jumper is different, so it was easy to see. So we called Sotheby’s!”
Diana wore the design again, her replacement version, in 1983.
Last week, three of Princess Diana’s gowns sold at auction for a total of $1.62 million.
We currently live in a world of chunky sweaters, chunky lug soles, and chunky jewelry. The era of oversized clothing has transformed into the era of chunky clothing. While I’ve loved this trend for quite some time, as minimalism reclaims its place at the forefront of our industry, it’s made me begin to step away from the “chunky” clothing items that everyone went crazy over not so long ago. The first item on my chopping block is, truly, the chunky sweater.
Seriously, I’m over it. Instead, I’ve been opting for the minimalist J.Crew-style fitted cardigans that feel so elevated to me. This is a win for my wardrobe because of how much space chunky sweaters took up. Luckily for me, there will be no more of that. Below, find the 29 fitted sweaters I’d buy first.

Meghan Markle continues her quiet-luxury streak with yet another look that has sent fans shopping. While dramatic outfits often grab the general public’s attention, Markle, 42, has managed to steal hearts in simple and refined designs. While greeting fans at the wheelchair basketball final on day four of the 2023 Invictus Games with Prince Harry, she opted for a sweater vest by J.Crew and high-waisted cropped skinny jeans from Frame with a classic pair of black pumps from Aquazzura. She topped the look with minimal gold jewelry, including Luna Skye’s baguette diamond leaf studs, Lorraine Schwartz diamond rings, a yellow-gold Cartier Tank Française watch, and her Cartier Love bangle.
If you were to take one look into my closet, you’d quickly get the idea that I am all about elevated basics with an injection of trendy and fashion-forward pieces.

Now that we’ve nearly turned the page on summer, it’s time to update our wardrobes with some fall-friendly fashion. We currently have our minds on chic sweaters and jackets, stylish boots and scarves, and even more cozy silhouettes we started dreaming about when temperatures began to drop. As you work on packing up your summer clothes, take a moment to think about what pieces are missing in your fall clothing and accessories lineup. Handbags? Dresses? Cardigans? All of the above? We’ve got you covered.
Fear not; upgrading your fall wardrobe with several pieces without dropping thousands is possible — it just comes down to shopping savvy. One of our favorite places to scoop up trendy and timeless items is Target. The retailer’s clothes and accessories are our favorite; they’re equal parts chic and affordable. That goes for its new-arrivals section, its highly covetable collabs, and everything in between.

Fall is rapidly approaching, and I couldn’t be more excited. While we’re nearing crisp fall weather and cozy layers, we’re not there just yet, so to hold me over until I can break out all of my cashmere, leather, and layers, I’m leaning into lightweight knitwear. I love a light cotton sweater or loose-weave knit to kick off the fall season—they give you that cozy feeling while still allowing airflow.
The breathability factor is key when searching for a beginning-of-fall knit, so opting for an open-weave material that doesn’t trap heat or a cardigan I can leave open is my strategy. A knit dress or tank top is another great way to start incorporating the texture into your wardrobe before the weather fully permits. I love investing in a lightweight knit at the beginning of the season to start wearing immediately, then layer over a long-sleeved T-shirt once the temperatures start to drop. This is currently the number one item on my fall shopping list, so I’ve saved all my favorite options to strategize my first purchase of the season. Keep scrolling for the best lightweight fall sweaters, in my humble opinion.
I peruse Nordstrom on a daily basis (thanks to my job), and I’m constantly bookmarking, saving, and writing about the chicest new styles and brands that catch my eye. When it comes to their latest fall arrivals, this past week while scouring their site, I was taken aback at the expensive-looking (but affordable!) pieces that I discovered—particularly, in the knitwear department. Don’t worry, I’m not going to gatekeep! If you’re looking to give your fall wardrobe an update with a handful sumptuous sweaters but don’t want to break the bank then take a look at these luxe-looking Nordstrom finds I’m sharing below. From classic crew-neck silhouettes to cashmere knits and versatile cardigans, the picks below will keep you warm and looking stylish. Best of all they’re under $100.
One of the best times of the year to score discounted fashion gems is here—Labor Day sale season has now started and I, for one, plan on taking complete advantage of the moment. The key is to have a game plan set and ready to go so that you stay focused on the pieces you’ll really want to incorporate into your closet now and for many seasons to come. Keeping a list handy of what you have in mind will go a long way as well as a great set of discount codes to use at your favorite online stores.
To help with this, I did a deep dive at three stores that are go-tos for fashion editors and the like: Nordstrom, J.Crew, and Madewell. I rounded up a stylish selection of elevated basics, cool jeans, cool flat shoe styles, standout dresses, and much more. Keep scrolling to shop 33 chic Labor Day sales finds worth having on your radar this season, plus the relevant discount codes to enjoy the stylish savings.
Take a quick scroll through your Instagram feed (or perhaps look at your own current daily wardrobe rotation) and you’ll probably notice a pattern. It’s quite obviously sweater season, and it’s arguably the best season for getting dressed. Sweaters are simultaneously chic and comfortable, and the perfect wool or cashmere sweater feels so luxe. But there’s one little caveat: Do you ever feel like your sweater just won’t stop shedding?
Honestly, the quickest way to ruin your outfit (and maybe even your mood) is to pair say a mauve sweater with black leggings, and the next thing you know, evidence of your top is all over your bottoms. While, stopping shedding completely isn’t likely possible when it comes to natural fibers such as wool and cashmere (sorry, but we’re being real here), we’ve still got a few tricks up our sleeve for minimizing shedding or even speeding up the shedding process to get past that annoying phase.
We know you’ve got tons of sweater looks planned for the season, so read ahead for tips on how to combat their pesky ways.
