25 Must-Have Pieces for Your Fall Wardrobe (PHOTOS)

Hello, Joan Holloway! These sexy-prim blouses, also known as "pussy CAT bows" (so put that dirty mind away), reached peak popularity in the late '60s. And, as with everything else from that era, theeeeeeyyyy're baaacck! This sheer Nasty Gal Marianne Pussy Bow Blouse ($68, nastygal.com) is so hot, and this Forever 21 Bow High-Neck Blouse ($18 forever21.com) will go with everything.

Granted, not all of us feel like we can pull off mini-skirts, but the very on-trend A-Line cut is pretty flattering! Plus, you can wear a gorgeous skirt like this AQUA Gold Brocade Aline Mini Skirt ($88, bloomingdales.com) with tights. Hot. For a more affordable option, this ASOS New Look 60s Skirt ($32.20, asos.com) with its chic nautical feel will go with everything (like, say, your new pussy bow blouse!).

Yes, that's right. They're back. Look how cozy and sleek this extra long Free People Ribbed Turtleneck Sweater ($98, nordstrom.com) looks. One, please!

I am all for high-waisted jeans; they're so much more universally flattering than the ultra low-rises of the last decade! If you love skinny jeans, try BDG 5-Pocket Seamed High-Rise Jeans ($58, urbanoutfitters.com). If you're feeling the return of the flare trend, check out the super flattering NYDJ Farrah Flare Jeans in lightweight denim ($124, nydj.com).

A "carwash" skirt is kind of a cross between a pleated skirt and a fringe skirt -- a cooler, more wearable cross! They're a little hard to find right now in a really affordable range, but keep your eyes out for something like this Zara Long Studio Skirt ($128, zara.com) and this super chic Tibi Car Wash Skirt ($385, shopbop.com).

Fringe anything is big, so pairing fringe with another of this season's must-haves, a cozy poncho, is a win-win. Two by Vince Camuto Poncho with Faux Suede Fringe ($99, shop.nordstrom.com) will keep you warm in style, and this DAVID & YOUNG COLLECTION Fringe Poncho ($16.99, tjmaxx.com) is a total steal.

Neon doesn't have to scream "THE '80s ARE ALIVE!" As shown on the fall runways, you can work neon into your look in a subtle but still hot way. Look for a classic piece of clothing with neon trim, like this Catherine Catherine Malandrino Striped Short Sleeve Sweater ($98, lordandtaylor.com), or pair a great neon piece, like this J.Crew Factory Neon Skirt in Neon Flame ($65, factory.jcrew.com), with a neutral top and shoes. Sizzlin'!

Shearling was all over the fall 2015 runways, and I'll take it! It's hard to imagine in the summer heat, but once it starts to get cold, there's no better way to get warm in style. Luckily for our pocketbooks, there are a lot of great-looking "faux" options, like this Hail Sunrise Sherpa Jacket By Somedays Lovin ($140, threadsence.com) or this sleek RACHEL Rachel Roy Seamed Faux-Shearling Jacket ($180, macys.com).

Denim and ... more denim! Can you dig it? Because it's in! A classic wardrobe staple like this Abercrombie & Fitch Drapey Chambray Shirt ($58, abercrombie.com) pairs well with another great staple, this dark wash Saint Honore Denim Pencil Skirt ($68, whitehouseblackmarket.com). Both items will go with a ton of other pieces!

Such an easy look to rock. This LOFT Piped Pocket Blouse ($49.50, loft.com) will look great with a black skirt for work, or black jeans for play. This flattering Contrast Shift Dress ($150, whitehouseblackmarket.com) is an entire outfit in one piece, and this Halogen Colorblock Faux Wrap Skirt ($69, shop.nordstrom.com) is edgy but easy to wear.

Bomber jackets have been popular for a couple of seasons now, and they're great transition pieces for fall weather. Go for the military vibe (no, that trend is NEVER going away!) with the Missguided Quilted Padded Bomber Jacket ($70, missguidedus.com), get a little rocker-chic with this Truth Of Touch Astor Leather & Wool Blend Bomber Jacket ($100, nordstromrack.com), or go for something light and super casual like this Old Navy Patterned Bomber Jacket ($39.94, oldnavy.gap.com).

Florals get darker and moodier for fall and winter. This STYLESTALKER Winter Garden Shift Dress ($139, shopbop.com) will look great with tights and boots, while this Warehouse Floral Shirt ($58, asos.com) has a sexy, flowing fit.
