I’ve always been a planner, often thinking weeks ahead about even the most trivial decisions. Like the industry I work in, where everything has a six-month lead time, I thrive when I can plan things in advance. So naturally, as I watched designers debut their Autumn/Winter collections in February, the gears in my brain were already turning, planning which items would become essential in my wardrobe over the season Actually arrived.
With fall now on the horizon, I’m stress-free, having already made all the tough sartorial decisions that come with the arrival of a new season. From new and improved basics like the white part of the tank; simple, luxe knits to wear tied around the waist (the latest, chicest bow for styling); and distressed denim to of-the-moment items that will dominate the season’s trends, my fall wardrobe is planned to a T. Now, all I have to do is start shopping for it. Below, see which pieces will have the biggest impact on my wardrobe once fall rolls around.
