Back to City Wardrobe Must-Haves: Pieces That Redefine City Cool

Welcome to fall in the city: the crisp air, your favorite café buzzing again, and finally — fashion worth layering. Whether you’re back on your commute or just back to brunching like a pro, Fall 2025 is all about effortless polish. Think smart silhouettes, textured fabrics, and staple pieces that bring big main character energy without harming the planet.

We scouted the most-wanted drops from female-founded and sustainability-forward labels to bring you six wardrobe heroes for the ultimate “back in the city” vibe.

Frankie Shop - Mavis Oversized Trench

The Mavis Oversized Trench in Khaki from Frankie Shop is peak cool-girl outerwear. With exaggerated shoulders, a storm flap, and crisp tailoring, it’s the trench that turns every sidewalk into a runway. The water-repellent fabric and deep khaki tone make it both practical and undeniably polished — think Paris meets downtown NYC in the best way. Layer it over chunky knits or silky slip dresses all fall long.

Schott NYC - Roughout Cowhide Suede Trucker Jacket

The Roughout Cowhide Suede Trucker Jacket by Schott NYC brings rugged Americana into the city with a luxe, modern edge. Crafted from genuine roughout suede, this jacket has a lived-in texture that softens over time and molds to your shape. With its classic trucker silhouette and durable cowhide, it’s a statement piece that’s as functional as it is fashionable. Pair it with wide-leg jeans or a silky midi skirt for a high-low fall look that turns heads.

Alohas - West Braided Black Leather Ankle Boots

The West Braided Black Leather Ankle Boots by ALOHAS are a must-have for your fall city wardrobe. Handcrafted in Spain with sustainably sourced leather, these boots feature a delicate braided detail that adds a Western-inspired edge without going full cowgirl. The low block heel makes them comfortable enough for all-day wear — from morning meetings to rooftop drinks.

Cuyana - Classic Easy Tote

The Classic Easy Tote from Cuyana is the ultimate “throw-it-all-in” bag — elevated. Made from supple, responsibly sourced Italian leather, this tote is minimalist in design but major in functionality. It’s lightweight, unstructured, and fits your laptop, planner, and everything else you didn’t plan for. Whether you’re heading to work or escaping for a weekend, this timeless staple carries it all — effortlessly. Plus, it’s made by a female-founded brand championing slow fashion and intentional living.

Agolde - Dame High Rise Wide Leg No Cuff

The Dame High Rise Wide Leg Jeans (No Cuff) by AGOLDE are the denim equivalent of main character energy. With a structured high waist, relaxed wide leg, and clean no-cuff hem, they’re made for city days when you want to look cool without trying. Crafted from organic cotton in a low-impact wash, these jeans prove that sustainable denim can be effortlessly stylish. Pair them with a slouchy knit or sleek blazer for that “off-duty editor” vibe.

Reformation - Darla Sweater Set

The Darla Sweater Set from Reformation is your fall capsule wardrobe's softest power move. Featuring a cropped, relaxed-fit sweater and coordinating midi skirt, this matching duo is made from a luxe recycled cashmere blend that’s as gentle on the planet as it is on your skin. Equal parts polished and plush, it's perfect for everything from WFH days to wine nights. Just add heeled boots or sneakers, and you’re city-ready in under five minutes.

Fall in the city is a feeling — that first crisp breeze, the sound of boots on pavement, the joy of getting dressed again. These pieces are more than trends; they’re staples designed to support your lifestyle and the planet.

So whether you’re heading to the office, a date, or just a walk through downtown — trust these six picks to carry you through the season in effortless, sustainable style.
