Fall trends this, fall trends that, I know our feeds are inundated with everyone and their mother telling you what’s in for fall (yes, including myself).

It can be hard to filter out the noise and discover what actually feels like you, or what you truly need vs. seeing it on your feed 100 times and convincing yourself you need it.

That’s why this month I’m launching SHORTLISTED, the curated monthly shopping list to help you filter out the noise. I will be actively updating this throughout the month with fresh finds and items that relate back to other topics and articles. Be sure to subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss any updates!

We will focus on solid wardrobe staples that you can build upon from season to season as well as some fun WOW pieces because, well, fashion is supposed to be fun! As I add new picks, I will continue to build out the guide, broken out by category.

This month, SHORTLISTED is all about fall items like denim, pants, jackets and boots.

Let’s get into it!

Denim & Pants

Should you go slim, barrel, wide-leg, or skip the denim altogether? Here are my top picks below for every vibe and budget. If you need more tips on styling jeans and how to create an effortless look, be sure to check out this article where we go more in-depth. Don’t forget to read this article as well to find your perfect fit for jeans.
