In the league of affordable brands with a knack for trendy silhouettes, Reformation is a clear winner among millennials and Gen Z. Founded in 2009 by Yael Aflalo, the California-based retailer excels at infusing a sense of vintage romanticism into contemporary shapes, and the formula seems to be working. The price point is approachable, while the garments (and admittedly, the brand imagery) seem imbued with a cool-girl factor.
For fall, Aflalo’s design team looked to the ‘90s to introduce a range of items fit for becoming cold-weather staples or statement makers reserved for special occasions. Personally, I own one of the pieces—the Beckie Cashmere Collared Sweater, and can speak to its ease of wear and versatility. It’s given me a taste for more, so I went looking for the absolute must-haves in the fall collection.
From a seductive slip skirt to an ultra cool pair of ballet flats, the fall offerings make a strong case for joining your weekly rotation. But you won’t want to miss the sheer two-piece set or shimmery knit top, which call for date nights or holiday parties. There is also a faux-fur jacket that guarantees style and attitude, as well as an off-shoulder knit top that is as office-ready as it is fit for late night cocktails in a dimly lit booth.
Ahead, discover the items that will be making their way into my shopping carts.
