I Hate to Break It to You, But Summer Is Over—20 Fall Pieces I'm Shopping RN

I'm here to inform you that we are nearing the end of summer 2025. If I had to guess, I'd say that 50% of you are satisfied with this news and the other 50% refuse to accept it. Either way, the temperatures are starting to dip below 70°, and light layers are making an appearance. Truth be told, I'm pretty happy about the pre-fall changes we're experiencing in NYC right now. When I'm not going on neighborhood strolls without the threat of sweat stains or jumping at the opportunity to bust out a long-sleeve, I've been putting my excitement toward an elevated fall wardrobe. Two days and 20 browser tabs later, there are track jackets, boat shoes, printed pants, statement earrings, and more waiting for you below.
