I'm a Fashion Writer in NYC, and Here Are 10 Fall Trends I'm Seeing on Every Block-From $22 at Amazon

"Even though I love New York City in the summer, I have to admit that fall is my favorite season-and it's all because of the fashion. There's something about the return of rich textures, cozy layers, and relaxed silhouettes that makes getting dressed feel exciting again. As a travel writer, I'm happy to report that this season's biggest trends are all about versatility and comfort-pieces that make sense for busy travel days, crisp autumn mornings, and spontaneous weekend trips alike."

"A full-length trench coat might look stylish on the streets of SoHo, but trying to stuff one into a carry-on doesn't sound fun. Thankfully, the cropped trench coat trend is all the rage this fall: It's short, stylish, and so much easier to pack. Pair it with jeans, dress, midi skirts-pretty much anything, really-for an instantly polished look that adds an extra layer of warmth without taking up precious space in your luggage."

Fall fashion centers on versatile, comfortable, and packable pieces suited for travel and city life. Key items include cropped double-breasted trench coats for polished, space-saving outerwear; retro-inspired sneakers like Puma Club 5v5 for lightweight, cushioned walking; suede jackets, roomy totes, and relaxed silhouettes for effortless layering. The cropped trench pairs well with jeans, dresses, and midi skirts, offering warmth without bulk. Retro sneakers provide nostalgic style and SoftFoam+ cushioning for airport comfort. The overall emphasis is on sporty-chic combinations that transition easily from morning walks to busy travel days and spontaneous weekend trips.
