September is one of the biggest shopping months of the year for a number of reasons—the main one being that it’s when we start to seriously think about fall and what our wardrobes are missing for the impending change of season. It’s also when the market is flooded with new fall pieces as summer’s swimsuits and shorts have finally cleared out to make way.
The first thing I recommend shopping for each fall is basics that you’ll wear over and over throughout the season. Once you’ve taken care of buying whatever fall wardrobe essentials you need, it’s a good time to move on to shopping for those more trend-forward pieces. But today I’m focusing on the former. I made a list of six fall basics that it’d be smart to focus on shopping for in September. Scroll to shop my simple list of chic fall basics along with me.
