Jeans, Flats, Jackets, and Sweaters—The Best of the Best In Each Category For Fall

I know we're all trying to squeeze the best from the last bits of summer left, so you'll have to pardon me for turning your attention towards fall for the time being. What can I say? I'm a fall girl through and through, so as soon as the glimmer of its arrival begins to show, I'm jumping at the opportunity to outfit plan, research trends, and of course, shop.
At the start of a new season, there are several key basics that are fundamental to any wardrobe. While summer's looked like sandals, shorts, and tanks, my fall lineup consists of four hero items: jeans, jackets, flats, and sweaters. Regardless of the any major fall trends arriving on the runways, I'll always be seeking out ways to freshen up these four staples since they make up the majority of my day-to-day outfits this time of year.
With that in mind, I've been doing a deep-dive into the best new arrivals hitting the market right now and have pulled together my edit of the best jeans, jackets, flats, and sweaters for fall, AKA my new-season wardrobe heroes.
