Life really does imitate art. As shopping editors and writers at PEOPLE, our roles demand us to keep up with trends, not only to follow them but to set them ourselves. This is why we are here to share our insights on the popular items making their way into our lives this season. Below, we present the trends and pieces we are currently loving, such as Birkenstock clogs and rain jackets, as well as some items we are ready to bid farewell to.
The PEOPLE Shopping Team has curated a list of must-have items for the fall season. From the Zella Travel Lite Ruched Jacket to the Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed Clog, these picks are all the rage. Other favourites include the Free People Solar Cardigan & Pants Set, KanCan Hailey High-Rise ’90s Flare Jeans, and the Edikted Azalia Asymmetric Sheer Poncho. With a variety of options, there is something for everyone this autumn.
Alyssa Grabinski, a senior shopping writer, expressed her newfound desire for a rain jacket, despite living in a region with minimal rainfall. She envisioned styling it effortlessly with silk pants and a tassel necklace, highlighting its lightweight nature compared to a traditional trench coat. Meanwhile, Madison Yauger, a shopping editor, shared her excitement for the Birkenstock Boston Soft Footbed Clogs, a style expected to trend heavily this season, according to TikTok fashion influencers.
As the weather transitions into autumn, Averi Baudler, a senior shopping writer, opts for lightweight ponchos over bulky layers to combat the lingering summer heat. Similarly, Toni Sutton, a shopping writer, plans to embrace flared jeans for their comfort and versatility, favouring them over traditional skinny jeans. Their choices reflect a shift towards more practical and stylish wardrobe essentials.
Jeaneen Russell, another shopping writer, has started gravitating towards knitwear sets for a more polished look, moving away from overly casual joggers. Additionally, Jennifer Maldonado, an associate editorial shopping director, finds solace in wide-leg sweatpants for both work and travel, prioritising comfort without compromising style. By making these subtle changes to their wardrobes, these professionals are embracing a chic and functional approach to autumn fashion.
Among the ‘out’ trends for autumn, oversized leather jackets and chunky boots are making way for sleeker alternatives. Oversized cardigans are taking a back seat, as more fitted and textured knitwear sets gain popularity. Similarly, bulky shoes are being sidelined in favour of slimmer styles, offering a more refined look without sacrificing comfort. By carefully selecting their autumn essentials, these shopping experts are highlighting the importance of versatile and timeless pieces in every wardrobe.
In conclusion, the fashion landscape for fall is evolving, with a strong emphasis on comfort, versatility, and style.
