20 Fall Designer Deals Worth Shopping, Per Meryl Streep’s Stylist

If we’re taking fashion advice from anyone, it’s the person that Meryl Streep trusts for her own style choices. A go-to stylist for some of Hollywood’s biggest names like Streep, Lupita Nyong’o, and Jennifer Aniston, Micaela Erlanger knows a good luxury find when she sees one. And now she’s letting Us in on the 20 discounted designer deals worth shopping for fall — and they’re all from the discounted isles at TJ Maxx.

In an interview with Us, Erlanger shared what she predicts will be the top fashion trends for fall, how to shop them at TJ Maxx and about her partnership with the retailer. She recently teamed up with them to launch STYLED by Runway, which is an incubator program designed to help mentor emerging stylists. It was a partnership that for Erlanger “felt incredibly authentic and organic,” since she’s already “long been a ‘maxxinista.’”

“It was a really wonderful experience,” she said. “My role in that was not only to provide them with guidance and mentorship around styling but also to really give them tools and share with them from my learnings and experience.”

According to Erlanger, TJ Maxx’s Runway section was already one of her “best-kept secrets” as a stylist for creating celebrity-worthy looks on a budget. Like many of Us, she loves luxury finds, but doesn’t “always love the price tag associated with it.” So when she finds more affordable pieces on Runway, she feels like she’s “struck gold.”

“The assortment is phenomenal,” she said. “And you can find truly everything from accessories to jewelry to runway looks etcetera.”

Another benefit to shopping at TJ Maxx’s Runway section, which Erlanger pointed out, is that the lower price points make it easier to “experiment more with trends.” The trends for fall 2024 are definitely styles that would be fun to play around with in your wardrobe. According to Erlanger, some of the biggest trends we’ll be seeing this fall will be western wear, early 2000s-inspired styles and menswear-inspired womenswear.

Erlanger gave Us some of her picks from Runway for all three of these fun fall trends — and with TJ Maxx there’s no shortage of options! But of course, she knows that not all designer trends are worth splurging on, which is why she gave us some of her favorite timeless, investment pieces from the retailer as well.
