I'm Shopbop's Head Buyer—These Are the 6 Fall Items That Are Worth It

There’s a strong chance you’re reading this in one of your go-to warm-weather outfits given that it’s very much still summer. But fall is fast approaching, so we figured there could be interest in noting the trends that will enter the spotlight soon for a bit of pre-autumn shopping inspiration. While we recently covered everything from the shoe picks to the dress silhouettes that are bound to leave a mark on the season, we thought we’d also get some insight from a top expert for her insider thoughts on the fall items that will hold strong.

Naturally, we hit up the head buyer at one of the largest fashion retailers out there. We’re talking about Stephanie Nelson Roberson, the general merchandise manager at Shopbop. Her day-to-day job is overseeing the buying operation for the brand, so it’s safe to say that she understands merchandise and what will be most popular.

Intrigued? Keep scrolling for Roberson’s debrief on the six key pieces she thinks could be worth it for the season, complete with a bit of visual inspo on various fashion people. And if you’re interested in getting a jump start on fall shopping, you’ll also uncover a range of inspired picks.

"Comfort is key when it comes to fall dressing, but adding chunky novelty knits helps me feel pulled-together." — Roberson
"Soft, supple leathers and fabrics are the perfect pair to accompany a cozy knit." — Roberson
"I love using color as a mood booster, especially in colder months! This fall, I’ll be adding autumnal tones such as burnt orange and hunter green to my wardrobe. Pair these with pops of lemon yellow and cherry red for the ultimate conversation starter." — Roberson
"I love these trends for their face-framing qualities. I am bringing major drama to my Zoom calls this fall." — Roberson
"A high-waisted pant with a cinched ankle is fresh and new. I would suggest pairing with a great knit or tee with some shoulder drama for added volume!" — Roberson

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
