Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
Call me crazy all you want for already starting to build my fall wardrobe, but anyone who's attempted to do so starting in actual autumn knows 1.) how stressful it can be and 2.) how much of what you want is already sold out. Thinking ahead is never a bad thing, and if you follow my lead, I promise you'll come to thank me in time.
As we speak, brands are mostly consumed with their annual summer sales, but at the same time, most are sneakily dropping new collections full of transitional-weather buys that are perfect for those early fall weeks when it's still warm but we all have summer-fashion fatigue. We want to dip into suede, full-length denim, and boots instead of sweating our way through strictly linen pants and poplin dresses. Yes, you should absolutely shop the discounts for right-now deals, but once you're finished, I highly suggest you check out the new fall fashions launching all around you. When the first slightly chilly day hits and everyone else is panicking about their autumnal rotations, you'll be calm and collected knowing all too well that your wardrobe is already prepared for the season ahead.
Scroll down to shop 30 early fall fashion items I'm already eyeing.
This new Massimo Dutti bodysuit is so sleek and versatile. I imagine wearing it with slim-fit black jeans and heels for a night out and during the day with a slip skirt and boots.
A perfect knee-length slip skirt to style with boots, sandals, and more.
These new Saint Laurent boots are so sultry—I think I need a pair.
A maxi T-shirt dress is like the ultimate blank slate. Let cool accessories do all the work.
Okay, Banana Republic. Way to stock fall's next It necklace.
This lightweight, semi-sporty pullover has my name written all over it.
Haven't you heard? Genie pants are in.
I own this bag in two sizes and am ready to expand my collection. It's truly the perfect handbag, both for work and nights out.

Suede pants are all I want to wear this fall.

This liquid-satin minidress is already fall's top buy.
Not your average boring tank top.
The shape and structure of this skirt make it a must-buy.
Dreaming of these every night until they miraculously show up in my closet.
Now this is a perfect suede jacket.
Not too baggy, but not too fitted—these jeans are just right.
