Best cardigan: Emile Cardigan — $170.00

Sizes: 2XS-3XL | Colors: 13 | Materials: alpaca, wool, and polyamide

For a soft and fuzzy sweater you’ll want to slip into from now until spring, this wool and alpaca cardigan is a must. The slightly oversized fit and balloon sleeves add comfy volume that looks polished when partially tucked into jeans or trousers. Plus, the ribbed knit material and tonal buttons add muted texture without making it look too busy.

Pros: 

• Warm and cozy
• Great for layering
• Made with sustainable materials

Cons: 

• Only one color
• Hand wash only

Best trench coat: Clyde Trench Coat — $350.00

Sizes: 0-16 | Colors: 5 | Materials: organic cotton and recycled polyester

Get rainy-season ready with this stylish water-repellent trench coat. A modernized, less fussy version of the classic silhouette, it has a slightly oversized fit for layering and skips the straps and belt. A soft gingham lining adds the perfect pop of pattern when you cuff the sleeves. 

Pros: 

• Roomy enough for layering
• Water-repellant
• Made with sustainable materials
• Soft, gingham lining

Cons: 

• Pricey

Best tall boots: Molly Low Thigh-High Boots — $390.00

Sizes: 5-11 | Colors: 2 | Materials: leather and rubber

These thigh-high boots are crafted from split cowhide leather and have a soft, textural feel that requires no breaking in. The 2.2-inch heel makes them comfortable to walk in and wear all day, and the inner zip fastening helps them slip right off—no struggle required. Wear them with everything from skirts and dresses to leggings—there’s no wrong way to style them. 

Pros: 

• Soft leather
• Zipper allows for easy on-and-off access
• Roomy calves

Cons: 

• Pricey
• Select colors/sizes sold out
• Not suitable for vegan lifestyles

Best sweater vest: Roxane Cardigan — $145.00

Sizes: 2XS-XL | Colors: 1 | Materials: wool and organic cotton

Sweater vests are the unsung heroes of any fall wardrobe. Depending on the weather, you can layer them over a white T-shirt or balloon-sleeved blouse, and they fit like a dream under tailored blazers. We love the chunky cable-knit pattern and classic crewneck on this option. Plus, the cotton-wool blend can be worn all year round. 

Pros:

• Versatile
• Roomy for layering
• Made with sustainable materials

Cons: 

• Only one color
• Hand wash only

Best loafers: Andrea Loafers — $225.00

Sizes: 5-11 | Colors: 5 | Materials: leather and rubber

Made in Sézane’s Portuguese atelier, these python-embossed leather loafers are show-stoppers that still manage to be timeless. Pair them with thin socks on chilly days or go bare ankled with cropped pants during warmer weather. Either way, you’ll be wearing them for years to come.

Pros: 

• High-quality
• Versatile
• Comfortable

Cons: 

• Pricey
• Not suitable for vegan lifestyles

Best trousers: Martin Crop Trousers — $160.00

Sizes: 2-14 | Colors: 12 | Materials: wool, polyester, elastane

If you need a break from denim, throw these cropped trousers into your pant rotation. They’re high-waisted with a slight flair and made from wool, polyester, and a little elastane for some stretch. They have a hidden front zip and button fastening and come in a variety of colors and prints.

Pros: 

• Comfortable, stretchy fabric
• Versatile
• Made with sustainable materials

Cons: 

• Pricey

Best blouse: Chlo Shirt — $125.00

Sizes: 0-16 | Colors: 23 | Materials: Organic cotton and recycled polyester 

This lacy, high-collared shirt has a sexy Victorian vibe that we’re here for. Ruffles on the placket and collar add a dainty flourish while the all-over geometric pattern of the guipure lace introduces some sophistication. We’d pair this with a black bra, a great pair of jeans, and some heels.

Pros: 

• Pretty lace detailing
• Versatile
• Made with sustainable materials

Cons: 

• Might be chilly to wear in fall/winter

Best dress: Harper Dress — $225.00

Sizes: 0-16 | Colors: 23 | Materials:Merino wool, organic cotton, polyamide, elastane

This body-con sweater dress is perfect for when you want to feel polished and put together during colder months without stressing over what to wear. The mockneck, long sleeves, and midi length provide plenty of warm coverage. We love how the gold buttons pop against the black material, but they also allow the option to adjust the height of the leg slit to your liking. 

Pros: 

• Versatile
• Warm and cozy
• Adjustable buttons
• Made with sustainable materials

Cons: 

• Hand wash only

Best bag: Claude Bag — $450.00

Sizes: 1 | Colors: 18 | Materials: crocodile-embossed cowhide leather, smooth cowhide leather, and cotton 

This chocolate-colored, croc-print leather bag couldn’t be more perfect for fall and winter. Crafted in Sézane’s Italian atelier, it features an adjustable leather handle, metal clasp, zipped and patch pockets inside, and a patch pocket on the back. It can be worn as a crossbody or shoulder bag and is deceptively spacious. 

Pros: 

• Timeless look
• Multiple colors available
• Adjustable shoulder strap
• Spacious and roomy

Cons: 

• Pricey
• Not suitable for vegan lifestyles

Best denim: Le Crop Jeans — $125.00

Sizes: 0-16 | Colors: 15 | Materials:Organic cotton and elastane

The Le Crop style is a new addition for Sézane and we couldn’t love it more. It features a wide, slightly flared leg, a high waist, and of course, a cropped length. It has five pockets, a zip fly with a button fastening, and looks equally cute with flats, heels, and sneakers. 

Pros:

• Comfortable
• Versatile
• Made with sustainable materials

Cons: 

• Cold wash only
