Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.

1. A ribbed mock-turtleneck tank that layers like a dream and kind of makes you feel like you accidentally mastered French-girl style.

Target

Promising review: "Great fit, feels soft, and the color is pretty. Seems more high-end than what I paid. Fit is true to size." —Shayschwish

Price: $20 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)

2. A crewneck button-down cardigan so you can channel your inner Rory Gilmore while you wander a bookstore, pumpkin latte in hand.

Target

Promising review: "Goes with everything, great for when it's in the 50s in the morning and 90 degrees by lunch. Will be wearing on repeat!" —J

Price: $30 (available in sizes XXS–4X and four colors)

3. A relaxed faux-leather bomber jacket that’s giving just the right amount of edge — like, “I could totally ride on the back of a motorcycle,” but also, “yes, I do still have lip gloss in my bag.”

Target

Promising review: "This is worth every penny. It really is good quality and looks so good on. Gives the '90s vibes. It’s a true oversize fit, so get your actual size. BTW, I have the denim version too, and it’s also very nice, but this one is better!" —Wanderlust

Price: $65 (available in sizes XS–4X)

4. A faux-suede midi A-line skirt because sometimes you want an outfit that screams "cool art teacher" while still being comfy enough for a full day of errands.

Target

Promising review: "Love this skirt! Perfect for fall. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments. I did size up because the space between the top buttons would gap open when I sat down." —Lexyb

Price: $35 (available in sizes 2–16 and two colors)

5. A faux-suede trench coat that makes every sidewalk feel like your personal runway — bonus points if you dramatically tie the belt before heading out the door.

Target

Promising review: "I found this beauty today by accident, and I am so happy that I did. This blue faux suede trench is a showstopper; a must-have as we transition into fall. The coat is well-made with a nice weight to it, and the color is absolutely stunning. It's that pop of color that every closet longs for. I would suggest sizing down one size for a tailored fit in the shoulders. If you prefer an oversize look, then I would purchase your usual size." —Kimberly

Price: $55 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)

6. A midi shirt dress that gives you lightweight flowiness and a sophisticated collar for casual fall picnics or office days.

Target

Promising review: "Great buy and fit! I never buy anything white, but I was pleasantly surprised! Added a chain belt to pull it together, oh, the compliments!" —Comfort

Price: $35 (available in sizes XS–XXL and two colors)

7. A button-front pullover sweatshirt so you can layer in style without compromising cozy comfort.

Target

Promising review: "This sweatshirt has great style — it dresses up leggings, would look good with jeans, and the buttons and collar add a nice touch. It's soft and fits well." Rarelyreview 

Price: $35 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)

8. A pair of high-rise easy barrel ankle jeans because they deliver sweatpants-level comfort in a silhouette that actually passes for office-appropriate.

Target

Promising review: “I have never worn a pair of barrel jeans before. I decided to try these because they didn't look too 'barrel-ish' and were on sale. These jeans did not disappoint! Cute, comfortable, and the amount of barrel is perfect. I wear a size 10/12 or a medium. I went with the 12. They give Levi vibes and are lightweight. Definitely recommend." —Boymama2

Price: $28 (available in sizes 00–30, including short and tall lengths, and four washes)  

9. A comfy wide-leg jumpsuit that makes getting dressed for a crisp fall outing ridiculously easy, whether you’re headed apple picking, pumpkin patching, or just grabbing your fave autumnal bevvy.

Target

Promising review: "Obsessed with this jumper! It fits perfectly!! So comfortable and can be dressed up or down. I ordered the black and I’m considering other colors as well!!" —Nikki

Price: $46.40 (originally $58; available in sizes XS–XL and 24 colors/patterns)

10. A midi cotton-blend A-line dress with a corset-style bodice for when you want to look effortlessly put-together at a fall wedding, dinner date, or any dressy occasion on your calendar.

Target

Promising review: "The dress could easily sell at Anthropologie! Heavy material feels expensive! A little big, so size down! One of the best dresses I purchased from Target! Get yours!!!" —Jt

Price: $35 (available in sizes 2–26 and three colors/patterns)  

11. A slim-fit short-sleeve seamless baby T-shirt that somehow works with literally everything — jeans, sweats, maxi skirts, you name it — making it the true MVP of your closet (and perfect for seasonal layering).

Target

Promising review: "I love how soft the fabric is and the high neck works for any outfit. I like it for the gym or for errands. I can wear it for work-from-home days too. Great basic." —googlegaby

Price: $15 (available in sizes XS–4X and six colors)  

12. A midi button-up dress since it’s the kind of easy, throw-on-and-go piece that makes wandering around the farmers market look like a whole curated aesthetic.

Target

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this dress. I stumbled across it at a Target I don’t typically go to, and even my 5-year-old said, 'Mommy, you have to get it,' when I tried it on, and he made me take a picture with him. It is extremely comfortable and just a dream. Every time I wear it, I get compliments and people ask where I got it. Favorite dress of the season by far. I’ve been waiting for this to go online so I could buy it in every color. I wish there were more options!" —fayemarie1993

Price: $35 (available in sizes XXL–4X and two colors)

13. A short-sleeve crewneck sweater because it’s the ultimate in-between piece for those, "Do I need a jacket?” early fall days.

15. A pair of cozy wide-leg flare pants that feel like secret pajamas, but look polished enough to fool people into thinking you actually tried.

Target

Promising review: "I don’t know how, but they made my legs look super long. Came back to buy two more pairs as home/errand pants. Good pants for stay-at-home moms are hard to come by. I’m pretty rough on my clothes chasing a toddler and a 6-year-old. They held up nicely." —Target mom

Price: $24 (available in sizes S–XL and two colors)  

16. A mini sleeveless sweater dress that nails the casual-yet-polished vibe for date night — just add boots and a leather jacket and you’re good to go.

Target

Promising review: "This dress is adorable! It's sweater material, but not too heavy, so you can definitely wear it in early fall with open-toe shoes or sneakers and transition into cooler weather with boots and a jacket layered over it. The price is great for the quality of this dress. It runs true to size; it fits great/not tight, and hits just above my knee. I purchased the brown. Grab it while you can!" —MH

Price: $30 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors/patterns)

17. A satiny slip skirt because it channels serious '90s rom-com main character energy without you even having to try. Did someone say, Practical Magic?

Target

Promising review: “I've been looking for a silky skirt like this. It fits really well. So much cheaper than the other options out there, but it feels expensive. My only complaint is that I wish it came in more colors because I would buy them all.“ —Meerkat2802

Price: $35 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors/patterns)  

18. A statement button sweater vest so you can lean into those coastal grandmother vibes and carry them seamlessly into fall.

Target

Promising review: “Stunning. Purchased in the black/white, looks so modern with no button on the very last spot, where a button would normally be, fabric is extremely soft.“ —Maryann

Price: $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)  

19. A duster cardigan that’s basically an invitation to cozy up with tea, a blanket, and yet another Gilmore Girls rewatch marathon.

Target

Promising review: “I had this in my cart for a long time and finally purchased it, and I'm so glad I did! This cardigan is nice and lightweight, so I will be able to wear it throughout all the seasons. I like how long it is, just as the model shows, and it is a soft, stretchy material.“ —TJB

Price: $30 (available in sizes XS–4X)  

20. A half-zip pullover to give any outfit a sporty edge, whether you’re pairing it with slacks at the office or sneakers on the weekend.

Target

Price: $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)  

21. An oversize pointelle sweater vest that’s perfect for layering over a long-sleeve shirt on chilly days or wearing solo when the sun peeks back out.

Target

Promising review: “Love this vest! It is really versatile and will span the seasons. I bought the black and cream striped version. It looks great with a black cami under it. I am usually between sizes, so I bought two and ended up keeping the smaller size. It is very generous in length, which I love. I will be buying in other colors.“ —JB

Price: $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and four colors/patterns)  

22. A fitted blazer because fall is basically back-to-school season for adults — and nothing says “I have my life together” quite like a fresh blazer.

Target

Promising review: "Great blazer — looks more expensive than it is." —Kristine

Price: $50 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)  

23. A pair of lettuce-edge socks so you can add a little playful flair to ballet flats, sneakers, or honestly any shoes that could use a fun upgrade.

Target

Promising review: "These are so cute. I’ve had my eyes on them for a while, and I thought I had lost my chance when they went out of stock. Luckily, there was a restock, and I was able to snag them. I love having several options for socks. A bold color can really pull an outfit together with minimal effort. I’ll definitely be on the lookout for more colors in the future. Great job, Target!" —Rue Bee

Price: $10 for six pairs (available in four color combos)

24. A pair of ultra-soft high-rise leggings that are cozy enough to live in long after your workout is over (though, yeah, you’ll probably want to change because sweat happens).

Target

Promising review: “Literally the best leggings I’ve purchased. I bought the black and the brown! I am so happy I did. I purchased both an L and an XL. I’ve never felt so comfortable and confident. Please make more colors!” —Tab Pannell

Price: $25+ (available in sizes XS–4X, two lengths, and in ten colors)

25. A floral long-sleeve V-neck A-line midi dress that was basically made for an autumnal boho moodboard — PSL in hand, leaves crunching underfoot, main character vibes in full effect.
