I'm a Fashion Editor Who Loves to Plan Ahead—31 Fall Essentials I'm Shopping for Early

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top must-haves or current wish-list items.

I’ve always been a planner, often thinking weeks ahead about even the most inconsequential of decisions. Like the industry I work in, where everything has a six-month lead time, I thrive when I can plan for things in advance. As I watched designers debut their fall/winter collections in February, the gears in my brain were already turning, planning which items would become essential to my wardrobe when the season actually arrived.

With fall now on the horizon, I’m stress-free, as I’ve already made all of the hard fashion decisions that come with the arrival of a new season. From new-and-improved basics like the halter top and stretchy kick-flare pants to of-the-moment outerwear, dresses, jewelry, and footwear that are sure to dominate in a few months, the pieces I’m planning to bring into fall have all but been added to my closet. Now, all I have to do is buy them. See and shop all 31 of them below.
