Who What Wear
Trust Me—Buy This is a series where editor-at-large Nicole Eshaghpour makes her favorite fashion finds shoppable for Who What Wear readers.
If you're someone who loves to read product reviews before buying something, this one's for you. If you get especially excited when those blessed reviewers include photos—because I know I do—then this is really up your alley. Today, I've rounded up not just some of my favorite pieces on the internet for fall but also the ones I actually own and cannot stop wearing as of late. From matching sets to cardigans to bags, flats, sneakers, and more, think of the items below as a little highlight reel of everything you've seen in my shopping roundups over the last few months. I even included the photo evidence to prove my love for them. Speaking of which, consider this an official plea for everyone reading this to excuse the casual selfies I've snapped in my apartment in between two small children vying for my attention.
With that out of the way, just keep scrolling to get started!
These two pieces were originally for summer, but I've loved wearing and styling both for fall so far. I was also blown away by this perfect boatneck tank I found on sale at Nordstrom, so I highly suggest acting fast!
I don't necessarily recommend buying three similar purses, but if someone is in the market for a little luxury bag to invest in, I do suggest they choose one of these from The Row. Regardless of the color or material, they're the perfect size for day to night and are simple enough to go with everything but cool enough to improve any outfit.
I've had this Zara cardigan for two weeks, and while I refuse to admit exactly how many times I've already worn it, let's just say the number is above five and below 10.
It's no secret that I love a set, so when I saw this Pixie Market one on Shopbop, I ordered it within seconds and was so glad I did. It's incredibly useful and flattering. If you're curious how it looks in gray, look no further than my very own colleague, Anna, who clearly loves it too.
Speaking of matching sets, this vest-cardigan combo was one of my favorite things I wore to New York Fashion Week this season. As someone who tends to shy away from color, this shade of pink really spoke to me because it looks so good with denim.
Now that we're in the fall fashion season, I will likely resume wearing this Khaite tote from last year pretty much every day until someone pries it from my hands with the return of warm weather. I love the size, the suede, and how I can throw anything in it and go about my day with ease. Here, I styled it with one of my top two favorite T-shirts of the moment and the easy sweater I'll be living in this season.
In case you're wondering what my other favorite T-shirt is, you're looking at it. I have this Ref tee in three sizes and wear it almost every day with pretty much the exact same outfit—tee, jeans (my latest go-to is pictured), and Sambas.
What does a fashion editor born in August buy herself for her birthday? A fall jacket, of course. I've been eyeing this from Blazé Milano for nearly a year now, so when they continued to make it for this season and it came in stock in my size, I was quick to pounce on it. I plan to wear it with everything from trousers, like the ones pictured by Dissh, to jeans, skirts, and more.
While I've been trying to dress for the coming season as much as possible, the reality is that this is what "transitional dressing" looks like on a lot of days because it can still be super hot in NYC. However, it does give me an excuse to endorse these amazing, marked-down flats that I wore all summer and will definitely be wearing in the coming months too.
