Sorry to say this, but summer 2022 officially ended on September 22, and fall 2022 is here. Though I'm devastated to see the hot temperatures go (I'm from Florida, can you tell?), it does feel so exciting and downright inspiring when that crisp fall air starts to hit in the morning. You can finally layer your cute knits, bring out your boots, and bundle up in a cozy coat. But if you dragged out all your cold-weather clothes only to realize that your wardrobe might be in need of some refreshing, you're in good hands.
I've been keeping tabs on some of the most exciting fall 2022 drops, so you can add some newness to your outfits this season. I spent time browsing each collection and picked out only the best, most standout pieces from the brands Dôen, Alex Mill, Staud, Miaou, and J. Crew, so you can find what piece—or multiple pieces—speak to you. Looking for some skin-baring matching sets? Miaou definitely has some options. Or if you're all about cottagecore vibes, you can find so many romantic, lacy, and floral styles from Dôen. Of course, I also had to include J. Crew in the mix since buzzy head designer Olympia Gayot took over. Keep scrolling below for the best designs from these five fall 2022 drops.
