Here are my picks for fall fashion under $300, pieces that work together for a chic look but can equally shine on their own. They can even be placed next to your most luxurious items!
Mango leopard print coat
Fall’s leopard print craze cannot be ignored. Feline prints have made their mark on everything from shoes to slinky slip dresses — the latter being particularly nostalgic. While my personal style leans toward simplicity, I’m no stranger to adding a playful print or two. So naturally, when I scrolled through this mango print coat, it was immediately added to my cart. I styled it for a more formal evening occasion with a black mini skirt and little heels, or for a casual weekend look with a plain white tee and blue jeans.
Pixie Market oversized bomber jacket
An edgy leather jacket is a must-have in any cold-weather capsule wardrobe. While there’s nothing wrong with heavy metal, biker jackets, casual styles are taking over for fall. They first debuted on the runways of Chloé, Saint Laurent and Khaite – like most It pieces – before becoming dominant in street style and being seen on just about everyone from models to off-duty models figure. Fashion Editors are the same. Leather bomber jackets for under $300 at Pixie Market that To the police. The loose fit and chic olive green fur collar add an inherent coolness to any outfit. I love it paired with a simple gray hoodie (very Miu Miu FW23 style) or a sexy Chloé lace-trimmed slip dress.
Gap Fair Isle cropped cardigan
The festive Fair Isle sweater transcends the wooden frames of a snowy ski lodge and feels right at home in any wardrobe, thanks to designers like Khaite, Loewe, Gucci and even Gap incorporating the pattern into their core winter collections. And shows us how it works to dress appropriately before (and after) the holidays. Evoking nostalgia, Gap’s cropped cardigan is the centerpiece of any fall wardrobe and pairs perfectly with everything from corduroy and velvet pants to calf-length leather skirts. Not to mention it’s thick enough to fit comfortably under any coat you have on hand. Its contrasting chocolate brown hue makes it the new neutral I never knew I needed. Style-wise, I wear tailored trousers and a loose trench coat for my commute to the office, and a little black miniskirt, a loose leather jacket, and strappy heeled sandals for a night out. After all, you can never be too comfortable.
Black Studio Logan suede mules
Looking for a great pair of shoes for under $300? black suede studio is fashion magazine go. Featuring a range of trendy silhouettes including polished penny loafers and pointy-toe ankle boots, their perfectly polished kitten heel is undoubtedly a standout. Take the pair below as an example. With the same wearability as my trusty little black dress, I’m hoping to pair them with any occasion and everywhere this fall, from the 9-to-5 (or let’s be honest, 9-9) to an elegant evening out Go out.
Zara checked ruched shirt
I’ve never been particularly fond of oversized flannel shirts—you know, the ones photographed in pumpkin patches and apple orchards worn with a plain white T-shirt and blue jeans. This fall, though, my fashion style has changed! In part, I have the street fashion world to thank for showing me chic, unexpected staples, and brands like The Row, Róhe and Toteme, whose flannel offers a new and improved silhouette. a unique style. That led me to Zara’s red and black plaid shirt, a fresh look with an asymmetrical hem and draped side detail, and one of many iterations of the clever top we’ve come up with. Fashion– myself included – love autumn.
Source unknown Lidiane suede midi skirt
Textures are all the rage for fall, but none are as gorgeous and easy to style as suede. While suede jackets dominated our shopping carts earlier this season, suede skirts now dominate. When looking for quality fashion pieces under $300, Source Unknown has Fashion Editorial seal of approval. Its seamed suede midi skirt is the perfect example. This fall, I’m elevating my basics by pairing them with matching suede boots, a lightweight cardigan, and an oversized jacket. Not to mention this is also something that transcends seasons – the ultimate 365 staple.
Aligne satin long vest
British brand Aligne is a contemporary label for everyone – and we mean everyone’s— lips this fall. Need more evidence? Fashion’s favorite It Girl Katie Holmes is a particular fan of this need-to-know brand, and she loves showcasing several of the brand’s key styles, from its standout (and affordable!) outerwear options to its ever-popular drawstring jeans. I, on the other hand, was drawn to their stylish tailoring, which included tie vests and collarless blazers. In elegant satin, I plan to make the following styles the centerpiece of my holiday wardrobe. I think it would add a chic touch to a festive sequin dress, luxe velvet pants, or even a matching satin mini. Fall and winter temperatures don’t exactly scream “sleeveless,” so I’ll layer up with a cropped faux fur jacket or tailored wool coat to add some much-needed coverage.
Banana Republic Vida casual suede bag
If there’s one item that makes me stop or gets the most compliments, it’s this casual suede shoulder bag from Banana Republic. It looks and feels just as luxurious, and is roomy enough to hold all my essential wallet essentials. I could wax poetic about its stardom in my cold-weather wardrobe for hours, but I’ll save you the pleasure. My final piece of advice? Get yours now while you still can!
Aligne Marcus corduroy horseshoe trousers
There’s a reason a pair of cool chocolate brown corduroys are a fall wardrobe mainstay, but this fall, Aligne’s cherry red corduroy is the pop of color I’ve been looking for. It has an oversized horseshoe shape and a relaxed design, making it the ultimate casual essential. If you ask any of me Fashion Colleagues, they’ll tell you, I’m not necessarily a pants person, but with this, I have to beg to differ. I added them to my everyday lineup earlier this season and never looked back.
Rails cherry lace satin slip dress
I love unexpected wardrobe combinations, and this Fall/Winter 2024 season, I’m inspired when I see how brands like Chloé, Saint Laurent and Khaite pair edgy leather jackets with romantic lace-trimmed slips and dresses . Needless to say, the juxtaposition of the two fashion moods had me hooked—and more importantly, I scurried to my already-filled shopping cart. I was almost instantly drawn to Rails’ lingerie-inspired skirt and fantasized about wearing it on the runway with a leather bomber jacket and chunky knit sweater, a styling combo that’s particularly popular in the fashion world.

They pair perfectly with just about anything, from vintage Levi 501s to modern workwear, and they embody the range we all strive for when buying, from trendy to wardrobe essential. Add these to your cart? Trust me, you won’t regret it.
The Frankie Shop Kate Vegan Leather Shorts
Back to the “I’m not necessarily a pants person” statement. If I had to choose between perfectly tailored pants, a super mini skirt, or shorts, I would choose the latter over and over again. More specifically, these vegan leather shorts from The Frankie Shop. During the fall and winter months, you’ll find me wearing chunky sweaters, oversized jackets, sheer black leggings, and loafers. This is my unofficial uniform and I will stick to it!
