8 Fall Trends to Buy at Every Budget
It’s October, people, and aside from signaling that it’s officially acceptable to leave a pumpkin outside your door, it also means that fall is (finally) in full swing. We’re no longer approaching, not on the cusp, not even in the first week—we are fully in autumn, and it is time to place your sartorial bets on the items you’ll be wearing for the months to come.
Going off the assumption that you already have a handful of basics and essentials in your arsenal, what this mainly means is that you should be choosing which trends you’ll endorse, invest in, and wear for fall. Not sure? I had a feeling. That’s why I’ve broken down eight of the coolest, most versatile—not to mention my personal favorite—fall trends with finds for every budget. So, whether you’re shy about neon and only want to invest the price of a fancy salad (with avocado) or are ready to go full-on pink Prada flame shoes, you can choose between the two (and a lot more) below.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
