7 Fashion People I Admire Just Shared Their Autumn Wish Lists With Me

As someone who waits all year for al fresco dinners and picnics in the park, I'm not about to wish the long summer days away. But while I'm not ready to let go of the no-jacket-required weather just yet, I am getting excited for the new season ahead, especially when it comes to thinking about the outfits I'm going to wear. Autumn is when you can pause your monthly pedicures to wear the latest boot trend (I think buckled and suede pairs will be key), and invest in lightweight jackets—the leather Whistles style below is firmly on my wish list. So while the sun might begin to shine less, there's still a lot of joy to be had at the turn of autumn.

I know I'm not the only one who looks forward to new-season drops, so I spoke to some of Instagram's finest dressers and people whose style I admire to find out what they have on their own personal, pre-autumn wish lists. Spoiler: Both @bubblyaquarius and @thandimaq chose the same reversible coat from Aligne, @trishnagoklani found the dark denim COS shirt everyone will be wearing, and @lisaingmarinelli confirmed my buckled boot theory.

There's more where that came from, too, for they each sent me a selection of pieces they think are going to be big this season. The best part? You can shop all of their picks before they've even bought them.

No doubt you'll be heavily influenced by these 28 new-season buys that'll make for the perfect transitional outfits. I know I have been!
