Okay fashionistas, be honest: you’re starting to run out of show-stopping outfit ideas for this season. “I can’t wait to sport fall clothes again,” you say to yourself as you sift through your seemingly repetitive summer wardrobe. Fortunately, it’s almost time to rock the hottest trends that debuted during February’s fashion month. Although most of us can’t afford to own Céline’s stunning tartan or Givenchy’s Bambi-inspired sweatshirts, some of our favorite collegiette-friendly stores are unleashing their take on these coveted fads. Excited? Check out these “to die for” collections.
1. ASOS
A sartorial cocktail of grunge and unapologetic glamour, ASOS’s newest additions pay homage to Saint Laurent’s fall collection. From powerful jumpsuits to playful prints (plaids, leopards, checkers…the works), the brand’s new stock of threads screams “good girl gone bad.”

2. Madewell
To be blunt, this collection is a game-changer. While Madewell’s fall look book boats some expected yet drool-worthy denim, the brand offers bevy of statement pieces such as cozy knits and sharp leather pants. With cobalt sweaters, midi skirts and sporty baseball caps, we cannot wait to get our hands on this collection.

3. Topshop
If Topshop’s collection teaches us anything, it’s that the power suit is back and better than ever. A mix of Yves Saint Laurent’s le smoking and the 1980’s trend (sans shoulder pads, naturally), this line offers the perfect way to let your inner career woman shine through.

4. GAP
Once upon a time, the American design empire was merely a slew of comfy sweatshirts—you know, the ones with the huge GAP logo? Don’t be ashamed, we all had one. Now, the brand features streamlined silhouettes and menswear-inspired pieces. From sleek sweaters in soothing hues to masculine jackets, GAP’s fall collection is synonymous with “on the pulse fashion.” We have one thing to say: thank you, Olivier Rousteing.

5. Miss Wu
Season after season, we can’t help but swoon over the American phenomenon’s ready-to-wear collection. Luckily, Jason Wu’s affordable line is just as fabulous. Exhibit A? This season’s fall look book. With a healthy blend of cheery colors, clashing patterns and classic silhouettes, this collection is perfect for a modern-day Audrey Hepburn. Loving this line? Pick up your favorite Miss Wu pieces at Nordstrom.

6. Club Monaco
According to Club Monaco, it’s not fall without some boxy jackets and oodles (yes, oodles) of fur. After looking at the brand’s array of wintry hats and jackets, we’re dying to throw on some layers. But if you’re not completely ready to say goodbye to summer, this collection features upbeat prints, bright pops of color and the flamenco ruffles that were featured on the spring catwalk.
