My Style Is Classic Yet Eclectic—30 Must-Have Pieces I'm Shopping for Fall
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.
If I had to describe my personal style, I'd say I strike a balance between classic and eclectic. I tend to avoid simply following trends—when I find a clothing item I could see myself wearing for years to come, that's when I know it's a quality purchase. But when the trend cycle does happen to sync up with my taste, I welcome the serendipity.
For instance, I'm hearing that the boho chic aesthetic is resurfacing for fall—but in my opinion, boho was never truly out of style. I've had an affinity for suede fabrics, cowboy boots, and unique waist belts for as long as I can remember, and I shamelessly wear them regularly. I'm all about balance, so I like to combine these pieces with classic wardrobe staples like crisp button-down shirts, wide-leg jeans, and knit cardigans to create my own unique look.
I'm already brainstorming what I want my dream outfit lineup to look like for the new season, so I've created my wish list of must-have fashion finds, along with beauty essentials that will add a finishing touch to any look. Enjoy!
I'm all about finding the right silhouettes to elevate my outfits, so the chic flared sleeves on this cardigan instantly caught my eye.
Citizens of Humanity just dropped a new soft-stretch collection, and I'm eager to try this baggy, wide-leg style. They're giving forever jeans.
I've seen this timeless suede blazer way too often on my Insta feed, and it's safe to say I've been influenced. It's the perfect layering piece to experiment with this fall.
This is the type of accessory that will give any of my current wardrobe basics a stylish update. (Of course, it's by Paloma Wool.)
This forest-green shade is so stunning. Imagine this nail color paired with an all-black outfit.
Made from crisp, cotton poplin, this button-down shirt can be worn year-round. Come fall, I'll be layering it under cozy crewnecks and textured jackets.
The pintuck pleats are so unique and help these poplin pants feel more fashion-forward.
She is beauty, she is grace. The vintage-inspired hardware is what really sold me.
I'll definitely be refreshing my intimates for the new season. This set by Miss Crofton has that classic French girl flair, and the frill detailing is so pretty. (Editor tip: If you're in L.A., you can pick up this set and more from Le Boudoir in Echo Park.)
This is my new everyday lip product. It's smudge-proof and lasts all day.
Crafted from red carnelian-jade stones, this statement necklace instantly elevates any outfit.
If you haven't browsed ALIGNE's new arrivals recently, I highly recommend doing so. The brand is fully stocked with chic fall essentials like this cardigan. The boxy fit makes it easy to style with practically any bottoms.
You'll be amazed at what these barrel-leg jeans by EB Denim will do for your legs. Not to mention they're insanely comfortable and the dark denim looks so sophisticated.
I've been wanting to add a ballet pump to my lineup for a while now, and this square-toe style is giving me the motivation I need to finally make the purchase.
This is my go-to fall scent. The floral notes with the woody undertones are the perfect combination.
This chunky Fair Isle cardigan is perfect for my bohemian aesthetic. I plan to throw this piece on top of all my wardrobe staples once the temperature drops.
Now this is a statement belt. It'll give all your neutral separates that coveted vintage touch.
Some may call me a late bloomer, but I tried blush for the first time a couple months ago, and let's just say my life has changed for the better. I'm eager to get my hands on this glowy liquid one.
Fashion people are no strangers to soccer jerseys. I always buy mine in men's sizing since the fit is more relaxed and oversized.
These Adidas shoes are reminiscent of vintage Prada sport sneakers from the late '90s. The pink colorway is so fun and electric.
Made in the most luxurious leather, this chic shopper bag is perfect for the office, travel, and more.
Want the secret to perfectly sculpted eyebrows? Try this long-lasting brow gel to get the laminated look.
Trust me, once you try a pair of satin undies, you'll never turn back. These are so delicate and soft on the skin and are made by La Chatte de Françoise, a slow-fashion French brand.
I'm trying to curate a cute at-home wardrobe and this knit top is just what I have in mind. The lace trim and rosette add just the right detail.
And, of course, the matching shorts are a must for the full look.
My current cowboy boots are showing major wear and tear, so I've been scanning the market for a new pair. Tecovas have that authentic Western style and the quality is truly unmatched.
These cool trousers remind me of the pajama-inspired pants style that is trending right now. The plaid pattern helps these pants feel more fall-forward.
This eyeshadow stick adds just the right amount of shimmer to your nighttime beauty look.
