Unless you're a celebrity or perhaps getting married, hiring a personal stylist is most likely out of reach, leaving us all to fend for ourselves in the dressing department. Fortunately, that's where editors like myself come in. We're ready to dole out the same sort of advice—with direct shopping links—to anyone in need of a little style inspiration. It's a job I don't take lightly. This is why I spent the last four hours scrolling through my go-to retailers' fall arrivals in order to say with confidence that, out of all of them, the ones served up below are the very best.
Scroll down for a truly special list of fall finds, from holiday-party dresses that can be unpacked and put on seconds before heading out the door to off-the-runway trousers that'll stop passersby in their tracks to high-voltage accessories able to make any outfit a winner and shoes in the color that's preparing to dominate come spring. It's as simple as this: With them in your closet, you won't need a stylist to look like you hired one.
Whether you've got a slate full of winter weddings or holiday dinner parties, this dress will surely come in handy.
