When it comes to my closet, I’m entering my cool-girl fall era and loving every minute of it. This has meant prioritizing standout pieces with an undeniably cool vibe on all of my latest shopping sprees. My recent virtual shop was focused on three of my favorite retailers: Zara, J.Crew, and Gap. Each of their respective new arrivals sections just so happened to be overflowing with chic finds that fit the bill perfectly.
Below, I rounded up 31 picks from Zara, J.Crew, and Gap that offer an instant confidence boost. You can discover and shop everything from of-the-moment suede pieces like jackets and bags to compliment-worthy jeans, stellar sweaters, and head-turning dresses, to name a few. I’m especially excited about the waisted cardigans and the snakeskin slingback heels. Keep scrolling to check out every last piece.
