14 Hot-Ticket Items for Fall 2023, According to Fashion Editors
Now that a new season is upon us, I'm looking to make some welcome updates to my fall wardrobe. I'm particularly seeking out the It items of the season that are of-the-moment and on-trend yet possess a quality of durability.
To get inspired, who better to tap than my fellow fashion editors who report daily on the biggest trends and shopping picks of the season? I asked them to share the trends and hot-ticket items that they're eyeing, loving, and shopping this season—the types of pieces that are blowing up on the fashion scene right now.
Keep scrolling to see what's on the wish lists of our fashion editors and shop their picks, from trending moto boots to designer earrings and timeless It bags.
"At several events I've gone to in the last two weeks, I've spotted someone wearing these new Khaite earrings. Now, I keep finding myself looking them up and adding them to my cart on numerous shopping sites. I just know they'll make every outfit look chicer this fall."
"If you're also obsessed with Sofia Richie Grainge's birthday look but saw that her exact top is already sold out in your size, this similar scarf top from Reformation is a great alternative. The color is very on-trend, and I love how easily it can be dressed up and down."
"This is no longer a 'new' It bag, but it's one that's proven its longevity, as it's still hard to find in stock. But The Row just released it in brown suede, and Net-a-Porter is stocked (probably not for long, though)."
"We all know that Miu Miu made moto boots a thing again, but I personally think that Reformation's pair is a bit easier to style since they're more subtle and classic. The only tough decision is whether to get them in black or brown."
"I'm on a big belt kick this season, and I have not been able to stop thinking about this one from Mango since it crossed my screen the other day. I also love how they styled it over a skirt with no beltloops!"
"In case you're wondering what jacket all the It girls will be wearing this season, this is it."
"Ever since I saw these pretty pointed-toe flats on the F/W 23 Prada runway, I cannot get them out of my head. I've seen a number of fashion people wearing them, and they do not disappoint. They're perfect for day or night. I love the idea of styling them with a white miniskirt, a gray crew-neck sweater, and a suede tan blazer just like on the Prada runway. I guarantee we'll see these chic flats all over the fashion set this month and beyond."
"A tailored black coat may not send your pulse racing, but it goes without saying that the classic piece had a massive presence on the fall/winter 2023 runways and is one this season's key wardrobe investments you should make. Choose wisely—you'll be wearing yours for years to come."
"This season is all about embracing the waist. Whether it's a chic belt cinched over a dress or a tailored nipped-in blazer like this Zara number, the hourglass silhouette will have you looking altogether on-trend this fall."
"The humble hoodie is taking the spotlight this season thanks to Miu Miu and a plethora of other designers that featured the casual basic in their collections. Style a gray or beige one with a sheer or sequin skirt this season for a look that feels very fall 2023."
"They might be gaining tremendously in popularity now, but I have coveted Dragon Diffusion's chic woven bags for almost a decade now. Each style the brand creates is timeless and can be worn year-round with everything from a casual outfit like a T-shirt and jeans to a more elevated ensemble with a chic dress or trousers."
"Mock-neck tops are having a major moment this season, and I couldn't be happier. They make for great elevated basics and can be styled with jeans and just about any trousers and skirts. I noticed when a chic one pops up it sells out fast, so act quick if you find one you like."
"Ever since Miu Miu's moto boots debuted on the F/W 21 runway, I have been hooked on the style. This season, there are a plethora of cool options available at a variety of price points. Pair them with everything from leggings and an oversize sweater to a crisp button-down and full skirt."
"I can't stop talking about the latest bag silhouette from Loewe—the Puzzle Fold Tote. It's both functional (it folds flat!) and fashionable. It's one of those special gems that will withstand the test of time. It's definitely on my dream list to use for travel, work, and everything in between."
