Oversized jackets + Bombers

I especially like them slightly boxy and worn over something more feminine.
 
Maryann Niederman profile picture
Plaid + bomber proportions is such a good combination. It feels preppy, slightly oversized and much cooler than a standard fall jacket.
Aimiray Women's Barn Cropped Plaid Bomber
 
Maryann Niederman profile picture
The oversized leather bomber is doing serious work this season. Boxy, slightly vintage-looking and very easy to throw over something feminine.

A classic trench with one unexpected little detail. The ruffle collar makes it feel much more interesting than another beige coat

The cropped proportion completely changes the trench. So good with high-waisted denim, wide-leg pants or a mini.
JOE'S JEANS Women's The Liz Cropped Trench Coat

Suede Everything

Jackets, bags, boots. Suede is doing a lot of heavy lifting this fall and I’m completely fine with it.
 
Maryann Niederman profile picture
Suede is everywhere right now, and the cropped shape keeps this feeling current instead of Western.

The fringe hardware is what sold me. It feels like an actual fashion piece rather than just something to carry your phone in.

Loafers aren’t going anywhere, and I like them best a little chunky and exaggerated.
DREAM PAIRS Women's Platform Chunky Loafers
 
Maryann Niederman profile picture
Mary Janes are still one of the easiest ways to make a basic outfit feel more current. The square toe gives these a slightly sharper look.

These are the kind of fall 2026 boots that make people stop and ask where they’re from. Suede, square toe, chunky heel, and seriously expensive-looking.

Statement Earrings w Sculptural Details

easiest way to make a simple fall outfit feel finished. Oversized hoops, sculptural silver, chunky drops, mixed metals and slightly imperfect shapes are all having a moment, especially with hair pulled back or tucked behind one ear.
 
Maryann Niederman profile picture
A very convincing argument for adding color when the rest of the outfit is neutral. These basically style the outfit for you.

Sculptural without being difficult to wear. One of those earrings that works with almost everything.

Plaid + Prep

Argyle, plaid trousers, polos and loafers, but styled slightly oversized or unexpected so it doesn’t feel costume-y.
 
Maryann Niederman profile picture
Sporty prep is taking up a lot of space in my brain. I’d wear this oversized with loafers, denim or a mini.
Tankaneo Womens Oversized Striped Polo Shirt
 
Maryann Niederman profile picture
The oversized rugby-shirt look feels perfectly preppy without being too polished. Very good with baggy denim or tiny shorts.

A little grandpa, a little prep-school, very cute. I’d keep everything else slightly modern so it doesn’t feel costume-y.

Cool Toned Fall Home

Warm amber glass, rust and chocolate tones, tiny lamps, sculptural silver, interesting candleholders and cozy textures. Fall decor without turning your apartment into a pumpkin patch.

If decorative pumpkins are entering my house, naturally they need to be checkered.

One of my favorite finds on this entire list. Pistachio + capiz shell makes this look like something from a much more expensive design shop.

A designated home for keys that also makes the entryway look significantly more put together.

Boots Worth Building an Outfit Around

Kitten heels, chunky soles, fold-over shapes and the shoes that can basically carry the entire outfit.
 
Maryann Niederman profile picture
That tiny kitten heel completely changes the vibe. Much more fashion-forward than a standard ankle boot.

Supposed to be one of the boots of winter 2026, and the snakeskin makes them even better. The pointed toe + low wedge feels very cool-girl, very fashion-week, and way more interesting than another basic black boot.

The slouchy boot is having a moment. The wedge + relaxed shape makes these feel way more fashion-forward than a basic fall boot.

Royal Purple

The color of the season. Deep jewel-tone purple suddenly feels incredibly fresh again, especially as a sweater, bag, flat or one unexpected pop against brown, gray or denim.

Animal Print

Leopard is back to behaving like a neutral, except considerably more fun.
