It's practically essential to my job that I have high standards. I can't just recommend anything—it has to be good, or why bother listening to me or shopping my endorsements? So when I say that I like something, you can trust that it's been properly vetted and ticks off a bevy of boxes in my head. When I love something, well, that's a level of approval in an entirely different universe. And love is what I feel when it comes to the 32 anti-trend items below. You can't tell, because I'm hiding behind my computer screen, but I'm actually kind of freaking out over them.
From the perfect baby-pink button-down shirt (a wardrobe staple that I've been after for months) to the dreamiest scarf-coat that's selling fast from Helsa, the list ahead houses one of everything a minimalist with an affinity for non-trendy but incredibly stylish wardrobe items could ever ask for. You'll also find lady jackets, LBDs, quiet-luxury handbags, and perfect-on-the-butt denim. But I won't give it all away. Scroll down to shop my meticulously crafted list of timeless fall staples.
This knit polo is giving major '90s Prada vibes.
The fold-over detail has me predicting a major sellout for these otherwise perfectly classic trousers.
Everything you could ever want in flats for only $60.
Show off those collarbones. I dare you.
Pencil skirts don't have to be boring. See this skirt for proof.
Elsa Hosk wasn't messing around when she designed the fall Helsa collection.
At every chic event I've gone to in the last two weeks, someone's been wearing these '80s-inspired Khaite earrings.
Halters are the move for fall. You heard it here first.
Every fall wardrobe needs a jacket like this, and that's a fact.
I shouldn't have to convince you to buy these epic Levi's.
How very The Row.
This scarf does it all without doing too much.
I'm a sucker for good cashmere. Can you blame me?
The cropped fit is next-level good.
BRB, I'm copying this entire outfit for the office next week.
This new Tory Burch pocketbook is going to live in my closet one way or another.
Get this plissé dress before it sells out. If you want to look like a model for The Row, wear it with elbow-length leather gloves.
Swoon.
The styling possibilities are truly endless with this gorgeous zip-up skirt.
The price on these could easily be missing a zero.
My dream wardrobe includes this Liberowe jacket no matter how often I tell myself I don't need it.
Just the right level of relaxed.
When in doubt, add a belt.
To be worn with trousers, jeans, skirts, and more.
Classic doesn't even begin to describe these stunning black pumps.
Any time I hate my outfit, I throw on a trench and am instantly satisfied.
For those days when you just can't be bothered to put together an outfit.
Objects in this photo may appear smaller than they are. (This bucket bag is wonderfully huge.)
All I wanna wear is a baby-pink button-down these days. Check my Instagram for proof.
I need her.
These boots really are darling, but in a sort of wicked way that I'm very allured by.
Touch this jacket IRL and you'll know why I added it here.
