9-20-2026 MY INSPO: this season's shift

 p.s. a lesson in transitional staples

this recent substack publication, titled black turtleneck, i can count on you by vogue editor plum sykes dives into sykes' go-to articles she keeps coming back to. this fall, it's not about new pieces, but rather ways to reincarnate pre-existing loved items into a new look. here's 5 closet staples you already probably have, that are tried and true straight from our vogue insider:

indyx fall trends (you didn't know you already own)

here's some more guidance according to my fave clothing app, on how to be more sustainable, save money and the environment, and become more creative with our personal style. the indyx team shared three fall trends in the rising, and alternatives before we get the urge to buy these items we realistically may not wear past fall/winter 2026:

tailoring
fitted suiting is back. no need to buy something new. just take last season's blazer to a tailor and let it become this season's.

baseball tees
so, you don't have a baseball tee. achieve the same pop of color with the timeless look of throwing a sweater over your shoulders, or... a shrug over a white tee.

funnel necks
it's all about a high, defined neck. who needs the real thing? stack a chunky scarf - or dare we say, bring back the infinity scarf.
