At the onset of autumn, my trusty go-to becomes none other than the Agolde Riley cropped jeans. Its ability to flatter even my petite 5’2 frame is a game-changer, and it complements any top I choose to wear. This specific pair boasts a frayed hem and a light wash that consistently triggers a whirlwind of sales, leaving them in high demand and rapidly disappearing from shelves. I managed to find them in stock at Shopbop and Revolve.

Of course no one is thinking about Uggs right now, which is why it’s prime time to scoop them up. Retailers couldn’t keep them in stock last year once the fall shopping frenzy ignited. They’re going to be just as popular as they were last year – especially the mini boots. So, if you’re chasing the cozy, cool vibe this upcoming fall and winter, don’t sleep on these!

The Mango Coatigan has basically reached holygrail status by now. I love that Mango brought it back in 3 additional colors this year – and since they always sell out by October, you might want to grab yours now.

Without fail, every autumn, there’s one item that effortlessly secures its spot within my top 10 best sellers: the coveted Free People thermal tee. It’s able to transition from one year to the next without hesitation, proving itself as a timeless staple. The anticipation is real, and this season is no exception. I hunted down this gem at Revolve, and yet, even now, certain shades are selling out fast – a testament to its enduring popularity.

This chunky knit is a splurge but remains one of my most-worn sweaters. I love how it bridges the gap between laid-back comfort and understated chic. Every time I slip into it, I’m reminded that this piece is so much more than just a clothing item – it’s an embodiment of fall’s cozy essence. Sizes are already starting to go, so keep a pulse on it!

I get asked about this sweater every year – and I’m happy to report that Revolve is finally bringing it back! The off-shoulder neckline and balloon sleeves make it such a sexy yet subdued piece. You can pre-order it now to wear later! I also included some affordable alternatives in the link above.

Another piece brought back by popular demand is this faux leather skirt. The high-shine finish and beautiful camel color is just perfect for the fall season! You’ll love pairing it with everything from chunky knits to sleek turtleneck tops.

If you love the western trend but can’t commit to the cowboy silhouette, then these boots are the perfect shoe for you. They’re now on sale at Saks for under $100 (plus, you can take an extra 20% off when you spend $500)! They were one of my most sought-after pieces last year but sold out so quickly so be sure to take advantage of the great price!

This under-$100 mesh top never fails to ring in the attention. It’s showstopping design makes it highly desirable – and a fast seller. There are only a few sizes left!

One of my favorite fall finds last year that couldn’t stay in stock is this stunning top. For the price point (under $70), you really can’t beat the luxe design and impeccable fit. It layers beautifully underneath a blazer so you can wear from the office into the evening.
