At the start of this year, I decided to seriously curb my impulsive purchases and actually save up for worthwhile wardrobe investments that will outlast trends and outsmart seasons. It's definitely easier said than done, but this season, I'm setting out to make my closet stronger and last much longer.
I know I'm not the only one feeling this way either. We're reaching a point in fashion where many of us are experiencing trend fatigue, and while I don't foresee trends ever ceasing to exist, I think the answer to this exhaustion is twofold: narrowing in on a personal style that isn't so easily swayed by fleeting trends and being a pickier shopper—a much pickier shopper. I'm focused on building a wardrobe that's timeless and trend-agnostic, and most importantly, feels like me.
When it comes to shopping, I'm navigating things with a "fewer but better" mindset, and now that fall's new arrivals are finally hitting the market, I figured I'd share what I'm currently eyeing in case you, too, want to shop like me. With that, here are the 28 best fall investment buys for the season ahead. They're cool, they're classic, and they're designed to last.
I know it might be a little too early to be thinking about coats, but no matter how trends come and go, a luxe suede style is one that will last you for years and years.
Louise Trotter's first two collections for Carven have been the talk of the town for the modern elegance and refined silhouettes its presented. The square-toe mules that featured have now landed online, and the highly repeatable shoes are sure to be a key item for fall.
Ladies and gentlemen, the It bag of the moment.
Leather-band watches are as timeless as it gets and although Heaven Mayhem only recently released its modular timepiece, it's just brimming with heirloom quality.
If I see you wearing a funnel-neck jacket, I know you get it.
Another piece I'm after from Carven? This stunning sheer organza midi skirt.

There's a reason Celine's Triomphe sunglasses continue to be popular years after their debut: the classic, timeless shape looks good on everyone.
