The Category Is Fall 2025 Runways, and the Budget Is $350—30 Finds That Fit the Bill

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
All around me are signs of spring, from the last pools of melting ice on the sidewalk to the new-arrivals sections at my favorite retailers, yet my attention is fully zeroed in on all things fall 2025. With fashion month in full swing, I've been reporting on everything the runways have been presenting us with, and being so obsessive about fall fashion means that my shopping cart has been filling with a lot of key next-season buys. From the breaking trends the New York shows gave us (think fringe, brooches, and tassels) to the sophisticated new silhouettes that the Milan and London runways put forth (think draped dresses and sophisticated suiting)—there's so much to discuss.
I'm usually ahead of the curve, but this season, I'm getting way ahead by shopping the fall/winter 2025 runways in real time. In case you're following fashion month as closely as I am or simply curious about which items are making my early-bird shopping list, continue on to discover every fashion find that taps into the biggest runway trends for $350 or less.
Elevated, effortless fringe details are already set to be one of the biggest trends of fall.
I can't believe these are under $300—they look just as good as the pairs from Khaite and Dries Van Noten.
Prada's runway continued to explore the idea of the unfinished, including intentional wrinkling and crinkled texture.
Whether they were tied around maxi coats or strung through the belt loops on trousers, I spotted similar rope belts all over the runways.
Tory Burch paired track pants with a luxurious fur coat, and I'll be thinking about that combination for a while.
The way to make your scarf and cape coats look new for next season? Add a sleek brooch to cinch them at the shoulder.
There were very few collections where fur outerwear didn't show up, from Fendi and Prada to Altuzarra.
The color and croc embossing make this look like a runway piece.
I have my eye on these Mary Janes to re-create Bally's look 10 with a leather bomber jacket and creased trousers.
Fall 2025 is shaping up to be the season of the subtle statement piece, and this Zara top is just right.
There have been tons of fresh layering ideas, but designers have been especially fond of using a shirt and tie as the base to a cool layered look.
Romantic lace is shaping up to be a huge theme—I'll be buying this editor-loved skirt to tap into the look.
I'm sorry, or you're welcome—thigh-high boots are a thing again.
Altuzarra styled many of the looks with sleek collar necklaces, and that has sent me down a rabbit hole to find similar ones.
On emerging New York–based brand TWP's runway, elegant silk and sequin looks were finished with these exact cashmere sock shoes.
Gucci F/W 25—that's all.
Style yours atop a shirt and tie for a very Sandy Liang moment.
Layering a button-down shirt underneath this shrunken sweater-vest would be a very wise thing to do.
Glove shoes were inescapable this season, and these flats are a more approachable—but still forward—take.
