As with other areas in life, when it comes to fashion, my sister and I don't always see eye to eye. We aren't polar opposites in our fashion tastes by any means, but I tend to lean into classic, fashion-forward styling, whereas she stays in the trendier Gen Z space. This, of course, seems to reflect our difference in age, as there are seven years between us. If you were to also break down our favorite places to shop, the selections would be similar, especially with Nordstrom, Shopbop, and H&M.
With that in mind, my sister and I set out to do an online-shopping session with the goal of seeing what fall basics we will both be reaching for this season. First, we decided what categories we both had in mind. Think outerwear, flat shoes, sweaters, and more. From there, we scrolled through the different online stores until something caught our attention. Naturally, we left our shopping date with a virtual cart full of fall-ready finds.
Keep scrolling to check out all of the chic fall basics my sister and I would both buy this season.
