One of the best parts of working at The Everygirl is being surrounded by endless fashion inspiration. Our editors are always spotting the next big trend, and I’ve loved dipping my toes into all of them—from “Tomato Girl” summer to my short-lived “Mob Wife” moment. The problem? After a few seasons of chasing every aesthetic, my closet was overflowing with trendy pieces but lacking the staples I actually wore on a daily basis.
This fall, I wanted a more sustainable reset: a wardrobe that still nods to trends but is built on elevated, everyday pieces I can wear again and again. That’s where Wantable came in.
Why I stopped chasing fall trends
For years, I equated shopping with style. A new season meant adding a handful of trend-driven pieces to my closet—puff sleeves, chunky loafers, a leather blazer. While some stuck, most were worn once or twice and then forgotten. I realized my everyday life doesn’t call for a runway-ready wardrobe—I need pieces that move with me, from dog walks to dinners, without feeling overdone.
I still love fashion and being in the know, but over time I’ve learned I don’t need to adopt every trend to feel stylish. Rather than another quick-fix haul, I wanted to build a wardrobe rooted in versatility and longevity. Enter: Wantable, a curated style box designed to reflect my personal taste and make everyday dressing effortless. Their Cozytober Edit—built around comfort, contentment, and slowing down—feels like the perfect reset for fall.
What is Wantable?
Wantable is a personalized styling service that delivers curated clothing boxes based on your unique style, size, and preferences. Here’s how it works: It all starts with a quick style quiz where you share everything from your go-to colors and silhouettes to the types of pieces you want (or want to avoid). You can flag the trends you’re into, call out fit issues you usually run into, and even note lifestyle details, like whether you need workwear, weekend basics, or a little bit of both. From there, a stylist puts together a box of nine handpicked items just for you, which you can try on at home, keep what you love, and send back what you don’t.
Try outfits before you buy and pause or update your subscription any time.
First impressions
When my box arrived, I was honestly surprised by how well it matched my style. Opening it felt like getting a stylist who actually got me. The pieces were practical but elevated—exactly what I’d been missing in my closet.
One cardigan stood out right away. It wasn’t something I would’ve picked on my own, but once I tried it on, I instantly got it. I pictured the rushed mornings, standing half-asleep in front of my closet—this was the kind of piece I’d grab without a second thought. The rest of the box followed suit: easy-to-style, mix-and-match staples that made getting dressed feel intuitive again.
Here are three fall essentials from my Wantable box I can’t stop wearing:
- A lightweight jacket: Part trench, part shacket, part chore coat—basically perfect for indecisive dressers. I’ve already styled it three different ways.
- The perfect neutral pants: A polished alternative to my usual denim—comfortable enough for weekends, elevated enough for work.
- An essential crewneck sweater: One of those basics you don’t realize you’re missing until you wear it twice in a week.
How Wantable shifted my mindset on fall fashion
What surprised me most was how much easier outfit planning became. Instead of defaulting to the same three basics or debating what “aesthetic” I wanted that day, I suddenly had pieces that worked for my actual lifestyle. A few styling reminders Wantable reinforced for me:
Using one piece, multiple ways
The difference between looking repetitive and looking polished is all in the styling. When you invest in versatile, quality pieces, wearing them on repeat feels intentional. For example, I wore my new crewneck with straight-leg jeans and loafers one day, then layered it over a satin slip dress with heels for dinner the next. Same sweater, completely different look. Repetition isn’t a faux pas—it’s how you develop personal style.
Leaning into layering
Elevated outer layers—like my new jacket—can instantly make basics look less like errand-wear and more like a curated outfit. Accessories work the same way: a bold shoe (I love leopard) or a monochromatic bag is always going to take your look to the next level.
Dress for my life, not my algorithm
The perfect fall outfit doesn’t need to scream “on trend.” The real key is building a wardrobe that fits your actual lifestyle, not your For You Page. I’ve found I feel most confident when I balance flowy pieces with more structured styles—and no matter what’s trending, quality fabrics and well-fitted staples are always in style.
For me, Wantable eliminated those “I have nothing to wear” spirals in front of my closet. Instead, I reach for pieces I love—and I actually leave the house on time. Using Wantable shifted my mindset from “I need to shop for trends” to “I can invest in versatile pieces that make me feel like myself.” And because the box is curated, I save time scrolling, second-guessing, and overspending on things I don’t need.
The biggest difference? Getting dressed doesn’t feel overwhelming anymore. It feels simple, intentional, and like me again.
