Pictured: H&M Twill Jacket ($75)
One of my dear friends messaged me recently and asked what fall fashion trends and items she should start looking at in an effort to prep her wardrobe. She said she's most interested in versatile yet chic pieces to style with her existing fall staples. I mentioned that H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Madewell are starting to drop stylish and on-trend fall items.
I scrolled through these three retailers and pulled out a sampling of pre-fall fashion items I thought she'd like that hit on fall trends—ahem, tailored jackets and classic sportswear. Below, you'll find the items I suggested, which are included throughout the edit, along with everything else I'm loving from H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Madewell right now.
H&M
This skirt is so sophisticated.
That shawl collar!
Can't go wrong with a gray cardigan.
Cool cut.
You'll get so much wear out of these flats.
Dreamy with jeans.
Slingbacks are having such a moment.
A sweatshirt-cardigan? Yes, please.
The buttons!
A fitted blazer is a fall essential.
This sweater comes in three colors.
Madewell
I told my friend to try this skirt with her favorite boots.
Such a great trench.
Fun flats.
As the name states, this is easy.
My friend actually just ordered these barrel-leg jeans!
So gorgeous.
Store all of the essentials.
Sleek trousers.
Perfect knee-high boots.
Abercrombie & Fitch
You can see how many customers are viewing an item on A&F. There were 2097 people looking at these jeans when I wrote this story.
Wear this dress as is now and with a jacket when the temperatures dip.
A cropped trench is also cool.
Elegant!
Try these bootcut pants with flats or heels.
A sweater tee is wonderful for transitional weather.
Wear this shell on its own or for layering purposes.
Style that sweater tee with these trousers.
