Trench coats are having such a fashion moment — and not just on rainy days! Garcia loves the versatility. According to her, you could pair this faux suede pick with a simple base outfit like jeans and a tee, or even leggings and a tank if you’re running errands. Come holiday season, it’s the perfect piece to wear with your go-to LBD, too. Adding this trench makes the outfit! Suede is such a great texture for fall and paired with a trench silhouette, it’s the perfect combo. It also comes in navy blue.
Button downs are Garcia’s most worn piece of clothing and according to her, this one by A New Day is incredible. It has her signature oversized fit and there are so many ways to wear it: dressed down with jeans, tucked in with slacks, layered under a blazer — the list goes on! Plus, the crinkle texture gives it that easy, undone vibe (and means a few light wrinkles won’t show too much). It’s available in black and white, with sizes XS through 4X. At just $25, Garcia suggests springing for both colors.
Wide-leg denim is the silhouette right now, says Garcia. These ones are effortless and easy, thanks to the mid-wash, but they still look polished. Pair them with a T-shirt or tank now, then layer up with a blazer or sweater as fall sets in. They’re available in sizes 00 through 30.
Think of these as your updated ballet flat. The V silhouette on top is fresh and on-trend, while the memory foam insole provides comfort all day long, per Garcia. They’re the perfect swap for your sneakers if you’re looking for a transitional shoe that will instantly elevate your outfit.
Big, slouchy shoulder bags are everywhere this fall. This one’s just oversized enough that you can use as an everyday bag or a work bag (a 13-inch laptop will fit). It’s great for moms who need to throw all their kids’ things inside, too. Plus, it’s still elevated enough to wear at night.
Since guys typically love pieces that are easy to throw on and go with pretty much anything they already love, this soft shacket is the ideal fall layer. Made from durable twill canvas on the outside and soft waffled cotton on the inside, it provides warmth and even a pop of plaid on the liner. It’s great for outdoor walks, sporting events and chilly evenings, per Garcia. Plus, it comes in regular and tall sizes.
For those who love a little accessory, if you really want to elevate your bag, Garcia says you can tie this satin scarf onto the strap. There are a ton of color-pattern options on Target.com, so you can opt for whichever style you prefer.
