As summer winds down, fall fashion comes in to soothe our transitional weather woes. We welcome the return of the season’s usual wardrobe staples, from hoodies with a bit more bulk to combat the chillier weather, long-sleeved knits over crocheted cover-ups, and full-length denim over cut-offs. But beyond fall's standard essentials, we’re also looking forward to adding more of-the-moment items to our closets, starting with the fall shoe trends making strides in 2024.

Forget Denim and Trousers—Skirts Are the Moment, and Here Are Fall's 7 Biggest Styles

Shoe shopping can be frustrating. You find a pair that looks amazing only to get them home, walk in them for a day, and realize your feet are blistered, sore, and sad. No one knows this reality better than the doctors who help people repair the damage done to their feet by ill-fitting, ill-advised footwear. Wouldn’t it be easier — and cheaper — to consult those doctors before you buy shoes? Yes. From sneakers to heels: podiatrists swear by these comfy shoes under $40 on Amazon.

I’m so happy that the scorching summer days are coming to an end, so I can take full advantage of my closet. For the last three months, I’ve exclusively worn breezy maxi dresses, tank tops, and shorts. I’m ready to start creating dynamic outfits and styling my coveted jean collection that’s been stowed away since May. I might even treat myself to a new pair to ring in the seasonal shift, and based on the raving Amazon reviews, Lee’s Bootcut Jean may be the style I add to my collection. Plus, pairs start at just $29.

New York City, NY

As someone who lives in New York City, I have a hard time getting excited about summer shoes—something about wearing dainty flip flops in the city grime doesn’t sit right with me. Fall footwear, on the other hand, is right up my alley. But because my mind has been on chunky wedges and slide sandals for the past three months, I’m drawing a blank on what shoes to buy for the upcoming season. So, I called in the fashion experts. Thankfully, professional stylist Marina Ingvarsson answered and revealed the five shoe trends you’re about to see everywhere this fall.

Is anyone else excited at the prospect of wearing jeans again? It's the same sort of excitement I had back in May when the concept of wearing, well, anything other than jeans became an option again. However, after a few months of favouring linen and cotton over denim, I'm once again looking forward to the ease of wearing jeans for autumn. That said, coming up with new ways to style them can sometimes feel monotonous—there are only so many tops and jackets you can wear them with that feel "new", after all. So, ahead of next season, I decided to do some research and stockpile some chic jeans looks to inspire me this autumn. Being a self-confessed Francophile, I turned my attention to French women.

Growing up, I only had one dream: to work in fashion. There was never a plan B. So, I know little me is smiling, knowing that my dream came true and I’ve gotten to work in fashion in many different ways. I will say that I prefer writing about my favorite fashion items as opposed to my previous life of designing them; that experience gave me a deeper appreciation, but it’s a nice perk being on the receiving end of the best styles on the market. With that said, I’ve had the opportunity to test over 20 fashion items this month, but these six from Madewell, J.Crew, Everlane, and more stood out. The best part? Prices start at just $13.

It's that time of year again—as we head into the final days of summer, we are all reaching for our trusty transitional pieces to keep us warm as the evenings become a little chillier. And when it comes to transitional dressing, it doesn't get more classic than the blazer. Each year, a new blazer trend seems to crop up, whether it be the oversized blazer, the cropped blazer, or even the cape blazer. One blazer look that never misses? The good, old-fashioned 1980s blazer—shoulder pads and all. Stepping out in Miami, Florida last night, Jessica Alba made the case for bringing this classic blazer back.
