One of my dear friends messaged me recently and asked what fall fashion trends and items she should start looking at in an effort to prep her wardrobe. She said she’s most interested in versatile yet chic pieces to style with her existing fall staples. I mentioned that H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Madewell are starting to drop stylish and on-trend fall items.
I scrolled through these three retailers and pulled out a sampling of pre-fall fashion items I thought she’d like that hit on fall trends—ahem, tailored jackets and classic sportswear. Below, you’ll find the items I suggested, which are included throughout the edit, along with everything else I’m loving from H&M, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Madewell right now.
