As a born-and-raised New Yorker, I feel well within my rights to say that when it comes to fall dressing in the city, the fashion crowd's go-to outfit formula can be predictable. The look almost always starts with a strong foundation: a pair of jeans, specifically a silhouette that straddles the line between relaxed and slim-fitting with a lived-in, vintage-like denim wash. From there, the outfit builds with a long black wool coat and a black leather handbag.

Footwear is where styles typically vary, but they mainly are loafers, ankle boots, or ballet flats. For fall 2026, however, tastemakers are making a compelling case for swapping those choices for something different. Case in point: Olivia Munn's latest ensemble.

Last week, while strolling through Tribeca, Munn was photographed in a casual yet elegant denim ensemble—slim-straight jeans, a white T-shirt, a long black double-breasted coat, black square sunglasses, and a black leather shoulder bag. Most notably, she completed the look with heeled black satin mules.

Munn's style leans classic with a touch of modernity, so it makes sense that she chose this shoe trend. It shares the timeless design of black pointed-toe pumps or slingbacks, two of her go-to shoe styles, but the satin finish feels very of-the-moment. The slip-on design balances that polish with ease, a quality carried through the rest of her outfit. Overall, the outfit reads as sophisticated without trying too hard, and while it may be considered basic, it's a formula one can always count on to look and feel good.

If you're inspired to re-create the look, keep scrolling. Ahead, I've rounded up the best heeled satin mules, jeans, and long black coats on the market.
