Go on, you may just uncover a fresh 'fit that could just become one of your new go-to looks.
"The shacket has been bubbling for a while now, but I feel like this fall, it has reached peak trend. With a lot of us hatching plans for the perfect outdoors escape, the outerwear feels low-key, but also stylish. I like that it does most of the styling work for you—simply put on any neutral basics underneath and a pair of trusty boots. This extra-long one from H&M could also be worn as a dress in a pinch."—Kat Collings, editor in chief"I think we can all agree that the #1 outfit goal this season is making sweatpants look a little chicer. The no-brainer way to do so is to throw on an oversize blazer, whether you're venturing out or making a Zoom appearance. And it wouldn't be 2020 without a face mask and New Balance sneakers."—Allyson Payer, senior editor"The '90s-inspired leather jacket trend continues to reign supreme this fall. The oversize shape lends a forward feel to even the simplest outfits, but right now, fashion girls are particularly fond of styling the jackets with their knee-high boots and shorter hemlines to create that 'bare legs' look that's everywhere."—Anna LaPlaca, associate editor"There's nothing that defines fall 2020 quite like the sweater-vest. The grandma trend has flooded our feeds this season—spotted on all our favorite influencers. Whether you opt for a cool print or a neutral hue it will add a preppy-cool look to all your fall ensembles. I'm particularly partial to a slightly oversize fit styled over a button-down or collared blouse."—Judith Jones, market editor"This fall, I am all about the big-blazer–and–big-wellies look. Whether you dress it down with a sweatshirt and comfy shorts or jazz it up with a sleek mini dress and printed shoulder bag. I love how forward the chunky boots look against the tailored blazer. As I said, I'm all about it."—Lauren Eggertsen, senior fashion editor"This is my pick. It's all about classic pieces with a twist. This specific outfit feels modern yet timeless. The slouchy white-shirt–and–straight-leg-jeans combo is A+ on its own (perfect for Zoom meetings), and the addition of the sweater tied around takes the look to the next level."
