KCM Editors Are Falling for These Seasonal Fashion Finds

“Loafers are in, although, if you ask me, they’re a classic fall staple that never left. I already have my go-to flat black ones, so this season I added this three-inch metallic style to my collection. The best part is that I didn’t need to suffer multiple blisters to break them in. They’re comfy from day one, and other reviewers agree.” – Alaina Mancini, Managing Editor

“I LOVE my Rothy’s. The slip-on sneaker is my favorite for fall. They’re stylish but also super comfortable, and I can wear them to the office or to my son’s soccer game (even in the rain, because they’re waterproof). I have two pairs. And if my husband wasn’t already harping on me about my shoe habit, I’d buy another.” – Mary Agnant, Senior Producer and Editor

“This comfy oversized Lululemon half-zip hoodie is perfect for throwing on over leggings to take the dog out in the morning or to ward off the chill coming home from a workout class. It’s so soft that sometimes I debate whether or not I should just sleep in it.” – Alaina Mancini, Managing Editor

“As I was perusing Madewell for a new pair of boots, I stumbled upon this blazer. I work from home (usually in my pajamas) and KCM is a pretty casual establishment anyway, so it was a ridiculous item to purchase, but this blazer kept calling me with its siren song. And who was I to ignore it? I cannot even explain how much I love this blazer. If my house was burning down, it’s the one thing from my closet I would grab. It’s not boxy, but is still masculine enough that it looks awesome when paired with a more feminine top and heels.  I don’t mean to brag, but it just makes me look so cool — like Princess Diana when she wore that blazer with jeans and a flat-brimmed hat. With this blazer, you, too, can look as cool as Princess Diana (LOL, just kidding of course you can’t…but it’s probably about as close as you’ll get).” – Emily Pinto, Senior Producer

“It’s finally time to break out the boots! I’m a fall person through-and-through, and you can catch me living in these Blundstone Chelsea boots all season long (and beyond, honestly). Not only do they go with just about everything, but they’re waterproof, so you can wear them while it’s raining or snowing, walk around all day in them comfortably, and easily pull them on without having to fiddle with zippers or laces.” – Katie Pittman, Commerce Editor

“This beautiful cinched blazer from Walmart stopped me in my endless online scrolling tracks. I can wear this on its own with a pair of jeans or layer a pretty camisole underneath it, making it the perfect statement piece for both date nights or the office. It comes in at less than $50, so I might just have to get a second one in the caramel, too.” – Alaina Mancini, Managing Editor

“Is it a sweater? Is it a blazer? It’s both! I can dress this up with jeans, dress it down a pair of slacks, or even wear it with a dress. It’s super cozy and works well on any occasion.” – Mary Agnant, Senior Producer and Editor

“It’s no secret that the KCM team is obsessed with SuperGoop — and what’s not to love? Sun protection isn’t just a one season thing, and for those of us trying to keep our summer glow going, this super light daily primer, SuperGoop’s Glowscreen with SPF 40, is your new best friend. It’s a super (LOL) lightweight primer that leaves skin dewy, and it will give you a hint of a bronzed glow while also protecting your skin from the sun.” – Julia Lewis, Producer

“OK, let’s not overthink this — is it basic or just a timeless accessory? I use my L.L.Bean boat ‘n tote literally every single day. It’s rugged, sturdy, and of course will NEVER go out of style. My favorite part is putting your own fun (or funny) monogram on the bag to make it totally yours. With the smallest size starting under $40, you can’t beat it.” – Sam Vastis, Account Associate

“At this point, I may need to buy stock in Patagonia because my whole closet is just their coats and fleeces. Nothing says fall like a warm vest. This one is super cozy, and the best part of Patagonia is that they have a lifetime guarantee, so if it rips, they’ll literally give you a brand new one.” – Mary Agnant, Senior Producer and Editor

“Parachute may be known for their bed collection, but they’re making an epic foray into the loungewear market. I’m a huge fan of their unisex cloud cotton robe. It’s made just as thoughtfully as their bedding, and works for everything from lounging to taking a Zoom call. Light a candle, wrap on your robe, and settle in for movie night.” – Lucy Spahr, Production Assistant 

“I may travel way less than I used to, but this neoprene bag is still my trusty companion. It’s a perfect combo of style and substance: The vibe is modern and fun without looking too teenager-y, and there are tons of sturdy zipper pockets for all your vitamins and paperbacks and little Ziplocs of cashews. Plus, the material has a bit of stretch, so you can cram in an extra souvenir at the very last minute. My favorite feature is the luggage strap on the back, which slides over the handle of a rolling suitcase, keeping your airport “look” very tidy. (Even if the inside of your bag is, in fact, full of goofy souvenirs.)” – Molly Simms, Vice President and Editorial Director

“To cut down on my perennial search for the most comfortable en vogue jeans this season, I asked a sales clerk to show me the most comfortable high-waisted straight leg jeans they had. Enter these Re/Done 70s Stovepipe jeans. I’ve already worn them countless times: They’ve got just the right amount of stretch, but are still sturdy enough that they don’t look like jeggings. Snag this slightly cropped pair on sale right now at Saks for over 60 percent off.” – Alaina Mancini, Managing Editor

“After moving to NYC, a professional wardrobe refresh was a must. The Uniqlo double-breasted jacket was first on my list. Not only is it a functional and comfortable fall look for the office, it’s a stylish and chic piece to layer up on the street as winter approaches.” – Corinne Brown, Graphic and Brand Design Associate

“Who says bucket hat season is over? This faux fur option is so cozy that I may just have to keep it on indoors. It also comes in a range of colors, like kiwi and azure blue, for a bright pick-me-up during those drearier days. Expect compliments.” – Lucy Spahr, Production Assistant

“I was definitely Instagram influenced (/targeted) to buy these super soft joggers. I ordered these to wear with my Dudley (which is a Katie’s Shop brand) turtlenecks, and I’ll likely order a second pair to keep in my daily rotation. Plus, I love that they make a long option.” – Sara Sajadi, Director of Strategy and Operations

“I’ve had this bag for years — it’s truly a year-round bag that serves as a catchall for *everything* (laptop, wallet, snacks, baby wipes, you name it). In fact, I love it so much that I even bought the smaller crossbody version. I always get compliments on these bags, but what I really love about it is that you can buy different covers and straps to switch out whenever you want, and I love doing this every fall for an instant seasonal refresh. I usually swap out my summer hot pink cover for my fall leopard print or metallic gold cover, and mix up the straps. You can “Create your Combo” to get one bag base, two sets of straps, and two covers. That bundle right there will take you from fall to winter fashion!” – Sara Sajadi, Director of Strategy and Operations

“I’m a sucker for a red pullover. I don’t want to get into my hunt for Meg Ryan’s legendary cable-knit sweater from When Harry Met Sally last fall, but rest assured it took many hours and several calls to my mom for advice. This sweatshirt, on the other hand, was a no-brainer: It’s the exact lovely burgundy color that we’re all craving in the fall, and it’s made of a mid-weight cotton that you can wear on its own, over a black turtleneck, or under another jacket.” – Ciara Hopkinson, Marketplace Associate
