Fall is just around the corner, which means your wardrobe will soon be experiencing the ol’ classic switcheroo. Knitted
sweaters will be swapped in for
tank tops , mini
skirts will be in hibernation in favor of
loose pants , and
toe-covered shoes will reign while
sandals rest. Since we're folks who spend our days scouring the interwebs for cool stuff to recommend, you can be certain that the Refinery29 shopping team is already eyeing the autumnal gems we want to buy for ourselves. Curious to know what’s on our stylish editors’ minds, I went straight to Slack to ask, “What are the items on your ultimate fall fashion wishlist?” The responses did not disappoint, and, in fact, revealed a lot about what the vibe may be for the months ahead. As you’ll see, we’re edging towards earth-toned clothing, we’re bringing
denim back, and we’re building our looks around mix-&-match
capsule pieces (hello,
Everlane ). Want to shop like our editors this fall? Scroll on for our hand-picked faves ahead.

Levi's Ribcage Straight Ankle Jeans
“Word on the street is that jeans are about to make their big comeback this fall. In anticipation of that, I’ve decided to freshen up my existing denim stock with a new classic cut from Levi’s. I already own (and swear by) a pair of the brand’s iconic Wedgies but have yet to try the Ribcage Straight Ankle — and, this here true-blue Georgie colorway is speaking to me.” – Elizabeth Buxton, Deputy Director

Everlane The Canvas Basket Tote
“I love a good tote — and this $58 style from Everlane checks all my boxes: oversized to fit all the stuff, crafted from a durable cotton canvas in a fall-perfect hue, and fashioned in a modern basket-y, bucket-y design that will comfortably fit over my shoulder while still looking cool. It’s definitely poised to be my cute-commuter-bag MVP.” – Elizabeth Buxton, Deputy Director

Urban Outfitters Stormy Plush Fleece Jacket
“On my quest for the perfect fall fleece, I stumbled across this funky Urban Outfitters number that’s attractively priced at under-100 buckaroos. Although it comes in three other poppy colors (like neon orange and bubblegum pink), I am particularly taken with this faded-khaki green. The style and cut reminds me of a Sandy Liang meets Patagonia (aka the perfect balance of trendy-sporty) and I plan to wear it with wide-leg jeans, chunky boots, and a comfy tee.” – Elizabeth Buxton, Deputy Director

Jenni Kayne Suede Mule
“Although I’ve never been one for dropping $$$ on shoes, these saddle-hued suede mules by Jenni Kayne stopped me in my tracks. They cost a very pretty penny but are well worth the investment for the quality craftsmanship, slip-on comfort, and wear-with-anything style. They’re handmade in Italy from 100% suede and feature a chic pointed toe with a comfy padded sole. I plan to wear them with everything from jeans to sweatpants and flouncy fall dresses.” – Elizabeth Buxton, Deputy Director

Eloquii Menswear Vegan Leather Blazer

Stuart Weitzman Norah Bootie
"I have been a fan of Stuart Weitzman shoes for a while. I especially love that they have wide widths, so I can comfortably rock any style. These are the ultimate bootie — like truly what shoe dreams are made of. I’d love the indigo embossed pair for a statement piece!" – Chichi Offor, Affiliate Associate Writer

Emmibehappy Puffy Hood Scarf
"I'm one of those people who really got into the silk headscarf babushka look this past summer — and I'm not done with it yet! I love this puffer hood from Etsy accessories maker Emmibehappy. I already have one of in a terra cotta color that I bought last year and now I want to grab a second color in a more standard black." – Jinnie Lee, Freelance Fashion Writer

Lattelier Tie-Waist Blazer & Front Slit Trousers Matching Suit
"When it comes to dressing up, I prefer pantsuits over dresses, hands down. One of my childhood pals is getting married this fall and I plan on wearing this two-piece suited number to his ceremony. Plus, a suit is such a wardrobe expander because it's like scoring a twofer deal when you wear them as separates: the blazer can be worn anytime as a lightweight jacket and the trousers can sub in for any pair of jeans if I'm trying to look fancier." – Jinnie Lee, Freelance Fashion Writer

Aritzia The Stedman Coat
"I think a camel coat is one of the chicest, most versatile outerwear pieces because of its neutral color — but it has to be a proper trench length, and not cropped like a pea coat. It inevitably becomes my most worn piece throughout fall. This year, I'd like to give my tattered older style an upgrade! But I have a few rules for the new coat: It absolutely has to be wool, the bottom hem has to hit below my knees, and it needs to be slightly oversized to accommodate for thick knits." – Jinnie Lee, Freelance Fashion Writer

Seb Brown Neapolitan Multi-Stone Signet Ring
"I have a real knee-buckling weakness for jewels and gold and things I can put on my fingers — and this ring makes me so emotional I want to cry. Honestly, I salivate over everything Seb Brown makes. While I know rings can be worn all year round, this multi-stoned signet reminds me distinctly of fall with its vibrant colors and various jeweled textures. I faint!!!" – Jinnie Lee, Freelance Fashion Writer

Holzweiler Vivian Recycled Twill Mini Dress
"I’m not quite ready to give up dresses yet, so I’m eyeing transitional pieces with longer sleeves, that would look good with boots or loafers or that can even be styled over pants as a long top. This Holzweiler dress does all three, plus it's made from recycled polyester." – Amanda Randone, Freelance Fashion Writer

Girlfriend Collective Taro Classic Hoodie
"In a perfect world I would want to buy some sophisticated business clothes that make me look like a bonafide professional, but I just want to add to my sweatshirt collection like I do every fall. I do think the lovely Taro hue and the supple sustainable organic cotton make this hoodie a tad more classy than your average sweatshirt (especially if I pair it with matching sweatpants!)." – Alexandra Polk, Lifestyle Writer

Everlane The ReNew Transit Backpack
"I highly underestimated how much you still need a backpack in post-grad life when you’re no longer running to class every day. This Everlane pack is so pretty on the outside with its earth tone and simple design, but it also has enough storage to haul everything I need whether I’m commuting to the office or heading to the airport." – Alexandra Polk, Lifestyle Writer

Abercrombie & Fitch Denim Jacket
"Since I recently moved to Miami, fall is going to look different for me this year. I expect to the season to hover around denim jacket weather and not a degree chillier. This Abercrombie find is everything I could ask for in a light-medium layer: It’s slightly cropped (which is perfect for petite gals like me) and has a boxy fit that isn’t too bulky. Plus, at under $100? I might even pick up a few washes." – Karina Hoshikawa, Beauty & Wellness Market Writer
