It’s now mid-September, which means the official start of fall is just days away. According to the calendar, it’s still technically been summer the past couple of weeks, but this month always has an unmistakeable sense of transition right after Labor Day. In New York, it means bringing outerwear, layers, and tights back into rotation—forever a back-to-school feeling.
It’s also one of the best times to shop online. Retailers are sharing fall/winter collections, which makes browsing feel new again, and I always find myself drawn to Ssense. With its curation that feels handpicked, it’s become one of my favorite places for brand discovery while still stocking designers I already know and love.
Here are the standout pieces I found—from labels like Gimaguas and Baserange—that are catching my eye for the season ahead.
