Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
In a perfect world, I’d have endless amounts of free time to scroll through the dark depths of the internet and find the best fall fashion picks the world has to offer. And while I don’t have that kind of time on my hands, I do have an eye for spotting pieces with main-character energy. From the perfect pull-on trousers to the ultimate zip-up sweater to slip-on sandals that go with anything (all pictured on me above), all of the pieces I’ve included below are guaranteed to rake in the compliments. Consider this list your personal shopping guide, and get ready to ace fall (and beyond).
Keep scrolling to see all the five-star gems that I’ve stashed in my cart for fall. You can thank Nordstrom (and me) later.
