Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
As a fashion editor, I'm acutely aware of all the current trends on the scene and have basically made it a pastime of mine to uncover emerging micro-trends about to make it big next. Since I spend so much of my time trendspotting and reporting on the styles that are in and out, I tend to rack up a massive shopping list for all the holes in my own closet. At the start of each new season, I keep a running tab of all the pieces I want to add to my wardrobe to nail each of the overarching trends I'm seeing.
On my list of trendy clothes for fall 2023 are items such as draped dresses, big '80s earrings, and fishnets (just to name a few) that represent each of the larger trends I want to test out myself. By keeping a list like this, I'm able to avoid making impulsive purchases and ensure that each item I add to my virtual shopping cart is one that I'll be satisfied with in several months' time.
Any coat that has a built-in scarf is automatically on my shopping list.
From the color to the shape, these are incredible.
Calling it now: Capri pants are making a comeback, and I'm already test-driving them.
This would look so chic with the capris above or even with jeans and flats.
With all things '80s having a moment this year, are you even surprised to see the return of bubble hems?
Chunky earrings are accompanying every outfit of mine.

Distressing is the moment.
Fall's It hue.
What fashion people are skipping jeans for.

Wear them with red shoes like the above pair if you know what you're doing.
Absolutely oozing with It-bag potential.
I'm in love with Khaite's cardigans but my budget isn't—this more-affordable version is doing the trick instead.
Have you heard? Bubble jewelry is the next on-the-rise jewelry trend to know.
So chic and elegant.
Fishnets are the base to so many of fall's trendiest looks.
Nineties perfection.
