My Fall Wardrobe Just Figured Itself Out With the Drop of This New Collection

One thing is for sure: Team Who What Wear is sticking with the classics this fall. Trend forecasts are still leaning toward the simple, polished look we adopted over the summer, and there's no end in sight. To speak candidly, I'm totally here for it, and so is our editor in chief, Kat Collings. "I'm ready for a return to the kind of dressing that feels easy while still looking smart and put-together," she says. Items such as a cream polo sweater and straight-leg jeans come to mind, and luckily for you, we know just where to find them. Macy's newest brand, On 34th, has totally wowed us with easy and versatile wardrobe staples (apparel, bags, and jewelry included). This collection is made for everyone and every occasion with inclusive sizing up to 4X and a wide range of styles. Every item can be mixed and matched, which is exactly what we need as we continue in our simple yet effective dressing era. Curious to see how Kat styled this under-$200 collection? Keep scrolling to shop her five essential looks for the fall season, all from On 34th.

"I know you were waiting for the French stripe! This On 34th tee is so soft I truly didn't want to take it off. For the styling, I naturally had to lean into classic Parisian fashion with a cigarette jean and cherry-red ballet flats. This look feels like an elevated spin on errands style. A poplin collared shirt makes for a versatile layer, so I can stay out all day without worrying about temperature shifts. And since this look hits on the classics, a slightly more modern hobo bag in unexpected green adds the necessary modern touch. Red and green may be a bit surprising at first glance, but trust: It's a fashion editor–approved combo that serves." — Kat Collings, editor in chief

"This work-appropriate dress has legs beyond the office. It would fit in perfectly at Who What Wear HQ when styled with white kitten heels and a tote bag, but I can just as easily see it with sneakers or flat sandals at the weekend farmer's market. A striped shirtdress is basically anti-trend, meaning the timeless staple will never go out of style. I especially like how this one has tabs to secure a rolled sleeve for a more lived-in look. Now, can we talk about the bag? This tote is an absolute workhorse. It's roomy enough for your laptop, lunch, and an impulse treat (some ideas: a new book, a fall candle, or a baguette) you grab on the walk home. The two strap lengths are genius—the longer one is perfect for over the shoulder just in case you make quite a few impulse purchases and end up needing to shoulder a heavier load." — Collings

"It's important to make sure my overall look feels modern and on-trend. Enter these deeply cool cargo jeans. The material feels high quality, and the pockets are substantial. The cuff and distressing are well executed. Call off the search: I truly think they're the perfect cargos. When you wear something that carries massive style points like these jeans, it's key to balance the look. You can think of your star piece as the main actor, and you'll want at least one other item that packs a bit of a punch—a supporting actor, if you will. In this case, that's the leopard bucket bag. Finally, you fill in the look with extras or background characters, which are approachable basics. (Cue the cream polo knit and black pumps.) I love that On 34th has elevated options to fill all the roles, aka building blocks, of a stylish outfit." — Collings

"If the striped shirtdress is perfect for an everyday work outfit, this is for when you're going for the promotion. Nothing says power dressing like a sharp tailored blazer, and the unabashed pink just turns up the volume. On 34th nailed it with this piece. Everything from the lapel width (which can be tricky to get exactly right) to the luxe material is spot-on, making it a blazer you'll own for years to come. At first glance, a bucket bag might not seem like an obvious choice for work, but I find that this one is particularly roomy. Plus, it has the convenience of a detachable crossbody strap. And like most On 34th pieces, it's a blend of form and function. The braided top handle wins extra style points in my book." — Collings

"Sporty is one of the last words I'd use to describe my style, so I was a bit surprised that this look was one of my favorites. I think the outfit success comes down to three elements: the sleek wide-leg track pants, which feel more polished than a carrot-leg shape, this stunning denim-inspired trench, and the felted baseball cap. The materials are striking in person, and overall, the effect is approachable but luxe. I'd wear this in a heartbeat on a travel day, especially with the large tote that can fit all my plane essentials. Out of all the outfit elements, though, the trench sticks out as a truly versatile pick. I can't think of many places this trench wouldn't be a hit." — Collings
