As fashion editors, it's our job to edit the market to bring you a curation of top-notch items. And trust us—we're picky in the process. We're not interested in highlighting just any old thing. The said piece must really hit our criteria. You know, forward, versatile, intentionally priced, and so on. In fact, our new line, Who What Collection, checks those boxes.

On that note, the latest fall offering is particularly noteworthy. You can see the entire assortment here, but we wanted to highlight a few items that are really resonating with us. You'll find various pieces that we're going to be wearing on repeat below. Oh, and everything in question just so happens to ring in under $175.

As a preview, we're talking about items like trending vests (both knit and tailored), pretty sweaters, and gorgeous dresses that would look flawless with knee-high boots. All that and more is coming at you with a little scroll action.

Tailored Pieces

Tailored pieces are key for the season. A three-piece suit is a fashion-person staple for fall, and so are the items (a vest, a blazer, and relaxed trousers) styled on their own.

You just can't deny the power of a matching tank and cardigan to bring a modern feel to a look.

You just can't go wrong with a chunky knit this time of year. This style is unique with the cuffed bell sleeves.

Don't underestimate the power of a knit tank worn on its own, layered with a sweater, or styled over a blouse.
