Andrea Lavinthal, Style & Beauty Director:Whenever I wear something from Veronica Beard, I get tons of compliments because the pieces are just so stylish and cool. They’re also on the pricey side, which is why I typically wait until a sale to pull the trigger. These chic pants are perfect for when I go back to the office in the fall.I started wearing this seamless bra style at the beginning of the pandemic when I wanted something comfortable for work-from-home life and I haven’t taken it off since. It’s so unbelievably buttery-soft and creates such a smooth look under even the most lightweight tees, that I’ll never go back to the world of wireless again.Buy It!Left to right:Veronica Beard Jeans,(Orig. $328)On-Sale: $218;Spanx Bra,(Orig. $48)On-Sale: $31.90

I’m planning on making this AllSaints slip dress my transition piece between summer and fall — I can pair it with sandals now, and add a moto jacket and boots when the temps dip. Speaking of… this neutral slouchy pair from Chinese Laundry will go with everything when boot season arrives.

Alex Apatoff, Digital Lifestyle Director:

I do not thrive in summer styles, so I am ready to focus 100% of my attention on fall fashion. I can’t wait for the temps to drop enough that I can pair this gorgeous suede BlankNYC moto jacket with, well, everything.

I’ll also be enjoying the ability to wear hoops again (love this sleek and sparkly pair from the celeb-loved brand Lana Jewelry) without them getting tangled in my mask (thanks, vaccines!).

One thing I’mnotbringing back to my fall wardrobe from the “before times”: Towering heels. I’ll be in my uniform Vans slides, thankyouverymuch. (Though I’ll try to at least make them a little more festive with a cute print, like this tie-dye.)Buy It!Left to right:BlankNYC Jacket,(Orig. $188)On-Sale: $99.90;Lana Jewelry Earrings(Orig. $1,090)On-Sale: $725.90;Van Sneakers(Orig. $59.95)On-Sale: $39.90
