After Living In NYC for 2 Years, I've Cracked the Code on Fall Fashion-Here Are the 15 Styles I'm Eyeing, From $29

"With New York Fashion Week in full swing, the city sidewalks feel like a live runway. Everywhere I turn, someone's debuting a new season trend-from oversized plaid blazers to suede ballet flats and flowy silk pants. It's impossible not to feel inspired when walking around the city, but living here for the past two years has also taught me that the best fall fashion isn't just about keeping up with trends. It's about finding pieces that can actually keep up with me."

"Between long walks, crowded subway rides, and dinners that run late into the night, I need clothes that are stylish, but also versatile enough to handle the pace of city life-and smart enough to pack for trips, too. This season, that means suede trousers that look far more expensive than they are, comfy sneakers that can get me miles without a blister, and a wrinkle-resistant trench coat that instantly pulls any outfit together."
