31 Trendy Updates I'm Shopping to Wear With My Basics This Fall

Fall shopping is my favorite kind of shopping. By the time August rolls around, I've completely replaced shopping for swimsuits and shorts with shopping for sweaters. It's usually basics I stock up on first, and jeans, sweaters, ankle boots, and versatile tops like plain turtlenecks are always at the top of my list. While I certainly wear those pieces often, it's what I wear with them that I get most excited to shop for.
A few months ago, I did a story on all of the trendy updates I was shopping to wear with my summer basics, and here we are with the fall edition. I've been steadily shopping for cooler temperatures and have made a point to keep tabs on the best "trendy" wardrobe boosters to consider for the coming season. I'd like to buy all of them, but I'll probably narrow it down to just a few. Perhaps I'll inspire you to do the same.
Whatever your wardrobe needs may be for fall, there's always room for some trendy updates, in my humble opinion. Scroll to shop some of my favorites.
Imagine how cute this would look with a chocolate-brown sweater.
I kind of want this in every color—but especially this pretty berry hue.
These are my new favorite sneakers, and they're perfect for fall.
Don't retire the bucket-hat trend just because the leaves are changing colors.
I expect to see this one all over the streets during fashion month.
