I rely on autumn essentials like sweaters, jeans, and ankle boots, but after seeing the fall trends coming out of New York Fashion Week this season, I'm rethinking my classics-only style philosophy. From the week's most popular sneakers to the colors I'm seeing everywhere on the runways, the trends for the next few months have me more tempted than ever to shop. So, I set a budget of $350 and searched for trendy fall finds on sale.
I went scrolling (or researching, as I like to call it) across all my favorite retailers to find my favorite discounted pieces. In doing so, I checked off many must-buy pieces on my list that meet the moment and my budget. I found trendy jeans for under $50, a pair of Nike sneakers worn by Kendall Jenner and Kaia Gerber, and a barn jacket that will keep you warm in these in-between months.
Fall is the perfect time to add new life to your wardrobe (It's like the "back to school" season for adults), so keep scrolling to shop the rest of my finds.
If Katie Holmes is a fan of barrel jeans, then I'm a fan of barrel jeans. She wore the divisive denim silhouette with a button-down shirt and ballet flats in New York, proving that the trend is much more wearable than you may think. Save even more with one of our Banana Republic promo codes.
Draped tops and dresses were seen all over the runways at the Fall/Winter 2024 shows, and you can achieve a similar style with this top-rated cashmere scarf. Bonus points if you add a brooch for a "ladies who lunch" vibe. Save even more with one of our Bloomingdale's promo codes.
If you get one new jacket this season, make it a barn jacket. Dua Lipa, Katie Holmes, and Hailey Bieber have made it their go-to transitional piece, so I expect it to be a major hit once the weather has permanently cooled off. Save even more with one of our Selfridges promo codes.
Colorful sneakers have been massively popular this year, especially when they're designed by Adidas. It's a celebrity-favorite sneaker brand, and it's easy to see why. With fun colorways like this yellow and blue pair, it would be impossible to be sad while wearing these kicks. Save even more with one of our Farfetch promo codes.
I got these jeans a few weeks ago but have been too preoccupied with skirts and dresses to give them a fair chance. I'm so mad at myself for not trying them out sooner because they are the perfect baggy jeans—relaxed through the leg with just the right length at the hem. Save even more with one of our Abercrombie promo codes.
The fall 2024 runways were splattered with all variations of Brat green, so why not add this easy-to-wear sweater to your closet? This luxe knit would be easy to dress down with jeans or dress up with a leather skirt and boots. Save even more with one of our Net-a-Porter promo codes.
