I’m a fashion expert — these are the 12 must-have fall finds I’m buying from Amazon

In case you’re not familiar with the “rich mom” trend that’s currently sweeping the style world, here’s how we’d sum it up: dressing like one has money without being flashy about it. That means a wardrobe filled with simple, chic staples like this crisp striped number that looks put together in the easiest, breeziest way — and also works perfectly as a versatile transitional piece. Layer it over a tank on cooler end-of-summer nights or tuck it into some trousers for the office or an early fall brunch date. 

Layer this beauty over a T-shirt and jeans to instantly elevate your look, or toss it on over a dress for added warmth once chillier days arrive. This jacket falls near the knee, so you can wear it over a dress or skirt — it’s even sophisticated enough to wear to a wedding. Made with viscose, polyester and nylon, it’s soft and drapey for a comfortable fit.

Suede accessories for fall are hardly groundbreaking, but I can’t get over how stylish and unique the shape of this mini tote is. You can carry it around by its top handles or attach the longer shoulder strap and wear it as a crossbody. The fact that it’s under-$100 — and the brand is celeb-approved too — makes it a must-have piece.

Sleek and sophisticated, the relaxed fit of this turtleneck is just what I need to stay comfortable as we transition into cooler weather. This top is made with a blend of nylon, polyester and viscose for a super-soft feel. It’s long enough to cover your bum, and loose-fitting yet still figure-flattering — which is tough for any sweater to do.

The start of fall always reminds me of back-to-school shopping, which means it’s time for new jeans. And you can never go wrong with a pair of classic Levi’s. This Wedgie style is designed to lift your butt, and the straight-leg silhouette will look good on most shapes and sizes. There are 16 washes available, but I love this light blue color that will go with everything.

I’ll definitely be scooping up this sleeveless tank and cropped pant duo. It’s the ideal monochromatic outfit to wear for the rest of summer, and it will look just as good under a denim jacket when fall rolls around. The black is classic and timeless, of course, but there are many other styles if you prefer more color in your wardrobe.

This ladylike sweater jacket is not only a bestseller on Amazon, but it looks just like a much more expensive option from J.Crew. The feminine topper boasts a cropped silhouette, polished gold buttons, and two front pockets, and it comes in eight styles — though this classic white and black version is my fave.

Preppy loafers just scream fall, and this Sam Edelman pair was deemed the best by our team of experts. Noted Yahoo’s Deputy Commerce Editor, Izabella Zaydenberg: “I have the Loraine loafers in three colors — that’s how much I love them! I bought them after a near-identical pair (that’s roughly six times more expensive) gave me the worst blisters of my life.” Consider me sold!

I love a cute matching set. Not only does it give you a chic, polished look when worn together, but you can also mix and match the pieces with the rest of your wardrobe. This sweater/skirt combo will keep you warm on chilly days thanks to its cozy knit fabric. Even better, both pieces are machine-washable.

Sculptural jewelry is trending this season, and I love that I can try out the trend for just $10 with this stylish bracelet. The chunky cuff opens up so you can easily put it on and take it off, and shoppers say it looks much more expensive than it is. Plus, it comes with a jewelry bag for easy storage.

Ultra-thin turtlenecks are one of my go-to staples for fall because they are great layering pieces. This popular style comes in 20 colors and ranges in size from XS to XXL. This review is what really sold me: “It’s very soft and comfortable, though the material is very thin; this is a sweater for fashion, not staying warm. I was also unsure how I would look in something so form-fitting, but it’s actually the most flattering top that I own!”
