My Classic-Cool Fashion Recs Always Sell Out—I Bet These 16 Fall Finds Are Next

As a fashion editor, I draw inspiration and product recommendations from others in the industry, but not just anyone. Over the years, I've curated a tight list of people I follow on Instagram, TikTok, and Substack—those with distinct personal style and a "less is more" approach to fashion. They aren't swayed by micro-trends or rushing to buy the same Zara jacket everyone else has, and they don't overhaul their wardrobes every season. Instead, they focus on building a strong foundation and a thoughtful capsule wardrobe anchored in timeless pieces with the occasional fun, fresh addition to keep things current and personal. One individual who excels in this area is Chicago-based influencer and personal stylist Ilana Torbiner.

No matter the season, Torbiner's goal is clear: staying true to her personal style. "My aesthetic goal is to stay true to my personal style and incorporate all the clothes in my closet from past years while adding in some newer arrivals to keep things feeling fresh," she tellsBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing .

Her signature look? "Laid-back with a '90s influence," she shares. "My mom worked at Barneys in the '90s, so her wardrobe from that time has played a strong role in shaping my style." Comfort is also a priority for Torbiner. "I tend to gravitate toward quality fabrics, classic shapes, and simple styles, but at the same time, I don't aspire to have a super-minimal style," she notes.

For fall 2025, that balance of comfort, timelessness, and a touch of trendiness will guide her. When it comes to the smartest method for shopping for the new season without feeling overwhelmed, she advises readers to "fill the gaps in their wardrobe first and build the foundation, adding fun pieces in from there." She shares that everyone should keep their eyes on the new collections from designers such as Kallmeyer, Aflalo, and Attersee.

If it's not clear by now, Torbiner has a knack for finding items that look expensive and are wearable. To explore the specific pieces Torbiner is currently excited about for fall, I asked her to curate an exclusive edit for theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing audience—you're welcome. Because she plans to fully embrace the Western fashion trend this fall (think denim, suede, fringe, boots, leather, plaid), you can expect pieces that capture that aesthetic. Keep scrolling.
