Although I no longer shop during back-to-school season as I did as a child, fall always brings in that spirit regardless. Even with it being mid-October, the new-season shopping is still going strong, especially as the temperatures continue to drop in New York City. Pre- and early fall were less about staying warm, but this part of the year, we get inspired to start thinking more about outerwear, cashmere knitwear, and cold-weather accessories—from wool coats to scarves.

Since each season brings many new arrivals across retailers, I curated a selection from some of the ones our readers love the most—including COS, Gap, and J.Crew—as well as independent brands and even a few luxury houses. My favorite items include the new Eckhaus Latta x J.Crew Rollneck and a high-neck coat from Rue Sophie. Whether you're looking for a new jacket or a fun pair of shoes, keep scrolling to shop new arrivals for fall 2026.
