’Tis the season for transitional dressing, lightweight layering, and ultra-soft knits! Although the steamy NYC temps have us caught in a summer daze, we’re already gearing up for the return of crisp air and having too much fun getting dressed to brave it. And so, as we await fashion’s most desired season, we’re stocking up our sartorial shopping carts with the proper wardrobe pieces—from must-have denim to statement knitwear and everything in between.
Lucky for you, we’ve already compiled the styles destined to be seasonal faves—all that’s left to do is shop! Read on for our non-negotiable purchases for Fall 2022…
A closet hero time and again, this unapologetically insouciant style is back and better this season—and with an even more stylishly carefree way about it. That same undeniable confidence met with a luxurious suede finish makes for a closet staple you’ll be reaching for time and again. Whether you prefer ankle-length or thigh-highs, an unconventional heel or a poignant block heel, feel free to style yours with a tight-fitted leather pant or cropped baggy denim jeans.
Given its memorable presence on the Fall 2022 runways, it’s inevitable that the wide-leg trouser will make its mark this season. Practiced and poised, yet breezy and laid-back, the trouser is a trusty companion to any pared-back tee, button-down, or sweater you’ve got on hand. Our advice? Take our very own high-waisted wide-leg pants, and style with a ribbed knit tank top and platform sneakers for a polished, no-effort-required look.
Arguably the most necessary wardrobe item come fall, layers have always been must-haves. This season, though, we’re stocking up on layers with personality, and ones that are tired of being covered up. The styles in question, you ask? Lightweight pieces flaunting ribbed textures, cropped cardigans, color-popping polos, unconventional prints… the list goes on.
There’s something irresistible about breezy, loose-fitting yet socially-acceptable pants—and a timeless denim fabric makes it all the more. We’re obsessing over the trend in all forms—from floor-sweeping to cropped hems, traditional wash to color-stained. Whichever look you choose, you’re destined to have that desirably easygoing look down to a T.
But this goes without saying, right? The blazer has grown to well-deserved fame in seasons passed, and we’re nowhere near ready to bid it farewell—most especially not for fall. Worn atop itty-bitty cropped tops and heavy-weight cashmere sweaters alike, transitional blazers make getting dressed a breeze. Whether you tend to opt for something classic (Something Navy fall drop alert!) or oversized, something black or printed, be sure to invest in one that takes you from day to night with ease...
Odds are, the summer has lent this closet staple to be a repeat in your wardrobe. The good news? Fall is poised to do the same—a win for summer closet clean-outs! It’s no secret that, here at SN, we’re faithful habitués of a versatile tank, especially our very own ribbed tank tops. Nonetheless, we’ve ventured out and discovered new renditions to stock up on. Our style tip? Break any unspoken rules by choosing edgy cut-outs and one-shoulder hems, and you’re set to be the coolest wherever you go.
Gone are the days when knitwear was confined to the dreary neutral tones associated with cold-weather dressing. Now, we’re keeping close to kaleidoscopic colorways and multicolored prints. As for the items in our shopping carts? Striped cardigans, loosely-knitted crewnecks, pleated midi skirts, and floor-dusting maxi dresses. But while the silhouettes may vary, one thing remains the same within the category: these colorful pieces are destined to vivify any room you walk into.
A closet staple that makes its rounds all year-round, the denim jacket is a habitual non-negotiable fall season piece. This year, we’re loving elevated details—like, patchworking, cropped hemlines, and refreshed distressing. Our fave, you ask? Our cropped lightweight denim shirt-jacket hybrid—a timeless starlet from our most recent drop. Get yours ASAP, and enjoy it for years to come.
The classic button-down has reclaimed its fame in recent seasons—and, by the looks of loosely-dressed runways, we’re sensing it has something to do with unrestrictive comfort. As far as our vision boards go, we’re getting ready to layer our button-downs atop bralette-inspired cropped tops, ultra-high turtlenecks, and… well… nothing. Load up your armoires with striped, cropped, oversized, and tapered silhouettes.
While we love ultra-mini clutches and statement arm candy, we’re ensuring our fall lookbooks are heavily stocked with bags that fit all of the necessities. Enter, the larger-than-life carryall—a prophesied must-have come fall. Some of our favorites include autumn-revised raffia totes, supple leather shopping bags, and oversized hobo silhouettes. Stow your belongings inside and turn heads as you go.
