Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
As a New Yorker in my (very late) 20s, I move around a lot. Every few years, I have to sort through my belongings and move into my next shoebox—I mean apartment. Moving can be expensive and physically draining, but I look forward to the great closet purge that comes with it. After almost a decade of regularly packing up my life into boxes, I now know which brands always survive the move. I've never parted with my clothes from Banana Republic—one button-down, in particular, has lived in five different closets. I share this with you to prove just how much this brand is worth your investment this fall. The brand's latest arrivals suit every need you may have for an autumnal shopping spree. Headed to the office? There's a skirt for that. Attending a holiday wedding? I've got the dress for you. Below, you'll have the chance to shop my exact outfit pictured above and 26 other arrivals I'd like to keep forever.
If you want to invest in a suede jacket, this is the one. It's lightweight, but warm and feels well lived in like a vintage find, minus the vintage smell.
