Our honest take

A hot list is a trap if you buy it all. We would pick five and skip the rest.

Lists create urgency, but a wardrobe is built over seasons. Choose the pieces that fill real gaps, buy them in colors that match what you own and let the rest wait. A year from now you will be glad you picked quality over quantity and fit over fashion. Choose two items from this list rather than ten, and buy the best version you can afford of each.

If you take one thing away: buy the coat first, because it is the piece others see most.

Etro Collaboration: Birkenstock by Etro Clogs, Sandals and Cape

The Etro collaboration with Birkenstock first appeared on the runway at Milan Fashion Week for Etro's Fall/Winter 2026 show. I gather every piece of the drop, plus new-in Etro dresses and skirts that suit the taupe and chocolate palette.

Pink and Chocolate Brown Outfits to Try This Fall

Pink and chocolate brown is the softest way to wear pink in fall. These four outfits put pale pink knits, a silk skirt, a mini dress and a shirt with brown corduroy, cashmere, shearling and suede. The brown keeps the pink grown up.

Gray and Chocolate Brown Outfits to Try This Fall

A gray and chocolate brown outfit puts gray cashmere, wool or organza with brown suede or leather, a grown-up way to skip black this fall. I built five looks, from a herringbone scarf with brown suede to a gray wool dress under brown leather.

Burgundy and Chocolate Brown Outfits to Try This Fall

Burgundy and chocolate brown is the richest-looking pairing of fall, two dark colors from the same warm family. These five outfits put burgundy leather, knits, jersey and ruffles with brown denim, cashmere, alpaca and suede. Keep chocolate brown and burgundy both dark, and mix the textures.

Olive Green and Black Outfits to Try This Fall

Olive green and black is the low-effort pairing of the season, military without looking like a costume. These five outfits put army green satin, cashmere, twill and corduroy with black leather, crepe and suede. Wear olive like a neutral and black will do the rest.

What to Wear to a Fall Rehearsal Dinner

What to wear to a fall rehearsal dinner: a satin or velvet midi or maxi dress with a sharp jacket or sculptural bag. I pick dresses with evening texture, outer layers that count as part of the outfit, and polished shoes.
