Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Every September, I emerge from my end-of-summer fashion fatigue and happily refresh my wardrobe for fall. There’s not a flat sandal in the world that could make me want the heat back—my eyes are firmly set on sleek loafers and lush leather boots. Between bold pops of red and timeless classics, I’m ready to embrace this season’s trends and let my personal style shine. Luckily, the powers that be have granted us a season full of the best knits, shoes, and accessories, and I’ve been spending all my free time saving my favorite pieces to share with you. Keep scrolling to see my top 30 fall fashion must-haves (and a couple of beauty picks, too).
