Few moments match up to the excitement of seasonal transitions, especially when it comes to fashion. And while it may be sad to leave the poolside days behind, the promise of fall fashion and cozy weather is enough to push our wardrobes into a new chapter.
For our editors, that means trying everything from ways to wear an anklet in the fall and sporting matching outfits with their partners to testing some of the season’s biggest trends, including biker boots and quiet luxury handbags.
As summer comes to a close, here are all the fashion recommendations our editors swear by this September.
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
“I’ve been loving everything that Coachtopia, Coach’s sister brand that launched earlier this year, has been releasing from the cutesy cherry print bags that I wish existed when I was in high school and college to the clothing from the Observed By Us collaboration. I eventually landed on this graphic, checkered bag that looks just as well on a beach vacation (pictured here) as on the streets of New York City. While my handbag’s exact colorway is sold out, this woven bag is equally statement-making.” — Irina Grechko, Fashion Director

“Until recently, I’ve never worn baseball caps. Although I appreciated the ways people styled them, it never occurred to me that I could enjoy wearing a sports-centric accessory. But, this Anthropologie hat convinced me otherwise. I love the simple design that can be worn with anything from a matching set to jeans and tenniswear. And that’s exactly how I plan on styling it — anything goes.” — Frances Solá-Santiago, Fashion Writer

“Thanks to brands like Miu Miu, moto boots are having a big moment in 2023. So, this fall, I’m hoping to channel my best bikercore energy with this style. I love the buckle details on the sides that add an edge to any outfit. ” — Frances Solá-Santiago, Fashion Writer

“I grew up by the beach, where anklets were part of my wardrobe year-round. That said, after moving to the East Coast 16 years ago, I’ve relegated the accessory to the back of my closet until this chunky style from Jenny Bird caught my eye at the beginning of summer. Since then, I’ve worn the elevated style everywhere from, yes, the beach to, more unexpectedly, work.” — Irina Grechko, Fashion Director
