    Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors' curation of the must-know items they can't stop thinking about.

    Summer's not officially over, but when you're a fashion editor, you're always one season ahead. So in our world, it's technically fall, and I'm not mad at it. We've spent the last few months trend forecasting, attending fall previews, and test-driving new styles. It's finally time to start adding items to our wish lists and carts, and let's just say I have some gems for you below. It's the perfect mix of trend-driven pieces and the classics for all the style personas you'll be embodying next season. Consider this your fall style guide featuring bags, sneakers, jackets, activewear, jewelry, and more.
