Outerwear holds a certain presence this season, defined by the fluid sweep of trenches, the soft drape of wraps, and the ease of mid length coats that fit every setting. Painterly patterns lend a touch of artistry, leopard adds spirited contrast, and fur trim always feels elegant. Together these details create outerwear that feels both expressive and lasting, pieces to wear throughout the season and well beyond.

Okay, it’s official, I am mentally switching gears to fall. It finally feels like the time! When it comes to my closet I tend to be a bit of a hoarder. I hold onto and rewear quite a few pieces, and when a new season rolls around, typically I am looking to buy the following: new trends that I love, items I may be missing in my closet, and replacements for the items that are truly falling apart. With that being said, today I am delivering my big, big fall wishlist.

CATEGORIES TO CONSIDER

BLACK RIDING BOOTS // I am pretty well covered when it comes to boots, but while looking through my closet this weekend I realized I would really love to add a pair of black riding boots. My top picks are these, these, and these. I feel like any of them would look fab back to this equestrian blazer, a turtleneck, and a pair of skinny jeans.

SATIN EVERYTHING // Satin is trending in a big way and I am here for it. It appears I have so many satin items on my wishlist that it is nearly impossible to keep track of them all. My current favorites are this high neck top, this top with fringe, and this chic maxi.

VELVET PLATFORMS // Sandal platforms are a staple for me in fall. The perfect transitional shoe that looks great with a sock or pair of tights. While I have pairs of satin platforms and suede platforms that I love, this season I am looking for the perfect velvet pair. Tippy top of the list are these, these, and these.

TAILORED PANTS // Menswear pieces for fall are always timeless. This year the trend seems to lean to menswear, but with an equestrian twist. I am looking for a great pair of tailored pants in a rich, fall fabrication. I just ordered these and these.

COAT WITH SCARF // Okay, I need another coat like I need a hole in my head, but they have always been the most favorite pieces I own. I can’t get enough of outerwear. The silhouette I am eyeing this season are all the beautiful, oversized coats with attached (or detachable) matching scarves. I love this cape version, this budget friendly one, this long mustard style, and this beautiful baby blue!

LEATHER OR LEATHER-LIKE GLOVES // All of my leather gloves have seen better days. I think that gloves are such a fun and easy way to add some interest an outfit or even as a pop of color. Currently I am eyeing these that are on sale, these, and these!

A SUEDE JACKET // I love finding a perfect third piece. Suede feels like a fresh take on a tailored blazer or jacket and I have this one on my list. If you like the idea of a suede jacket but are looking for more of a barn coat style, well I love this piece. But, if you are more of a girly girl, how darling is this peter pan collar swing jacket?!

MORE FROM MY FALL WISHLIST

A reflection on my favorite small brands always leads back to those whose designs carry effortlessly from season to season. I love Chan Luu for its relaxed yet refined clothing, and Destree for its sculptural stand-alone silhouettes. FForme’s elegant draping brings fluid sophistication, while Heirlome’s rich patterns and textures offer depth and personality. Hunting Season’s beautifully crafted bags remain staples I reach for again and again, and Julietta’s jewelry adds a polished touch to any look. Kallmeyer’s thoughtful classics go with everything, and Leo Lin’s romantic details add a sense of story. ROHE’s timeless lines create balance, and Soer’s elevated essentials complete the mix. Each captures a lasting kind of beauty from this season to the next. Discover why below.

This season’s moodboard brims with energy: silks and satins that flow with movement, sequins that catch the light, and velvets with a deep, dramatic richness. Moody florals and lace bring a romantic touch, while suede and leather ground the palette with texture and balance. Embellished coats add a statement-making layer, while sculptural bags and simple flats bring striking dimension. Each element stands out on its own yet comes together in my early season planning, shaping a wardrobe that embraces autumn’s darker tones and the spirit of what lies ahead.

Fall shopping is finally upon us, and while neutrals often rule the season, this year’s style is headed in a decidedly vivid direction. After months of ethereal fabrics and bohemian-inspired textures this summer, we’re finally seeing that ’70s-inspired, free-spirited aesthetic blend into fall. From rich royal purple to chartreuse, decadent chocolate brown, and The Life of a Showgirl‘s wave of orange, this season’s trending palettes are bringing a bold, lively refresh to your standard cold-weather wardrobe. Ahead, we’re breaking down seven standout fall fashion color trends to try, including standout product picks in each hue to add to your rotation.

SPRWMN Top, Alemais Pants, Gucci Slides, Gucci Sunglasses, Savette Bag, Sherman Fields Necklace

In Charleston, sandals still hold their place, especially in richer shades that hint at fall, but I’ve started weaving in suede and textured sneakers, loafers, and flats to balance out the in-between weather. For upcoming travels to cooler places, I’m already planning to bring out various boot styles, pieces that feel instantly grounding the moment the air shifts. It’s a mix-and-match rhythm, keeping summer ease while slipping in just enough structure to feel aligned with the season ahead.

Dolce & Gabbana Top & Skirt, Manolo Blahnik Heels, Sauer Earrings

Late summer to early fall style carries a sense of transition, with colors turning richer, textures gaining substance, and silhouettes reflecting sharper definition. Each element resonates in the present while extending naturally into the cooler weeks, creating continuity as the season unfolds. The mood reflects depth and refinement, shaping looks that remain compelling well beyond the final days of summer.

Valentino Jacket & Skirt, Prada Heels, Dior Bag, Calle del Mar Top, Silivia Furmanovich Earrings

The transitional color palette I’m drawn to right now feels equal parts grounding and forward-looking, with buttery cream, earthy green, warm caramel, deep denim blue and rich brown lending just enough contrast to keep things interesting. These tones shift easily between late-summer ease and the moodier textures of early autumn, offering a kind of fluidity that works whether layered together or standing on their own. It’s a palette that invites a calmer rhythm, timeless yet quietly evolving, ready to carry through the weeks ahead.
