Everyone looks forward to a Target run, but when the retailer announces a designer collection, everyone literally runs to get their hands on the newest wardrobe must-haves. It's not every day that you get to step into high-end fashion for less than $100, but with each seasonal drop, the retailer proves it's possible — and doesn't disappoint.

One Shop TODAY contributor had the chance to try a few items from the spring Designer Dress Collection, which included pieces from Christopher John Rogers, RIXO, and ALEXIS, before they flew off of the shelves. That's why we've had our calendars marked for Sept. 25 the moment we found out the Target Fall Designer Collection was in the works.

This limited-time collaboration includes over 180 wardrobe essentials from designers Rachel Comey, Victor Glemaud, Sandy Liang and Nili Lotan — and is officially available to shop right now.

Each designer has curated a collection of modern and trendy apparel that is perfect for fall, but all of the pieces can be worn long after the season ends. The selection goes beyond shirts and dresses — you'll find everything from polka dot sets and quilted joggers to leather blouses and Sherpa jackets in this season's drop.

What might possibly be the best part? Target says that most items are under $50 this time around, so you can stock your closet with designer goodies without breaking the bank. This collaboration is also keeping in line with Target's inclusive sizing, as you'll be able to shop every single piece in sizes XXS-4X.

Below, we rounded up some of the styles Target sent us to try, along with other stunning essentials that are worth checking out. From a chic pencil skirt to trendy flare pants, read on for the standouts you should shop from Target's Fall Designer Collection — before they're gone!
