Fall’s arrival is imminent, and with it, hundreds of new collections from around the world. With Instagram’s growing presence in the fashion ‘scape, we no longer have to rely on the runway for inspiration. No, nowadays, the sheer number of brands on our radar — on and off Instagram — is enough to make our heads explode. Thankfully, it’s someone’s job to curate the best fashion brands of the bunch.
Caught — we’re talking about ourselves. As fashion editors, we scour the collections to decide which pieces are worth buying every season. So to keep your wardrobes looking their best, Refinery29’s fashion team set out on a mission to find the items worth shopping right now. From investment pieces to elevated basics, these are the 15 pieces we’re sending from shopping cart purgatory to wardrobe heaven.

I typically do not respond well to this silhouette, but I want to wear this Zara dress under chunky knits and boots all fall.
This isn’t a trendy buy but I lost one of my hoops and feel naked without them. This pair is 14K (and not plated) so they won’t irritate my sensitive lobes.
First things first, I know that this is a crazy purchase. But no matter how many times I walk away from these Miu Miu ballet flats, I always find myself signing onto Farfetch.com and gravitating toward them.

Ask anyone, I’m addicted to tank tops. I have an entire dresser drawer committed to Hanes little boy tanks that I buy weekly in a convenient 6-pack. But just because I love Hanes, doesn’t mean that I’m unwilling to try out a promising new tank. So, when I found out that Scott Disick’s brand, Talentless, would be designing classic tanks, I just had to try them out.
I’ve recently fallen hard for the way that split-leg pants look with boots for fall, so naturally, I’m going to find every possible pair on the market and… buy them all?

As a uniform dresser, I’m not one to buy a bunch of different, multicolored knits every fall and then ditch them once spring comes around. Instead, I tend to invest in just one or two quality sweaters every few years. Case in point: Acne Studios knits. Last year, I bought two, both on sale, and wore them constantly (literally daily). This navy quarter-zip style is enough to convince me to keep the pattern going.
From the primary color blocking to the chic print, this is the Fall dress of my dreams.

Tie-dye is a huge trend but TBH, I was on the fence about trying it … until I saw this top. The patchwork design — and the myriad colors and prints — really makes it a work of art.

I fell in love the minute I spotted this Hanifa dress on Instagram. It’s dressy enough for fancy parties but I’d also pair it with my bright Sacai x Nike sneakers just because.
