It’s almost October, which means you really can’t get away with wearing your summer clothes anymore. The temps are dropping, the leaves are changing and it’s time to embrace all things fall in your wardrobe.

If you want to spice up your closet with some new styles for the season, check out the five must-shop fall trends below. Though they are especially popular this year, many of these styles have serious staying power and are timeless enough to wear for years to come.

Worried there’s no room in your budget for a new pair of shoes or a soft, cozy sweater? You’ll be glad to know all the on-trend picks below are $45 or less.
