If You Only Buy 3 Pieces This Fall, Make Them These

As we turn our eyes to fall fashion, I’ve been thinking about the essential items to add to my closet this time around. While I have my eye on plenty of cool finds for the season ahead, I’ve been curious to know what the top-selling items are that I should add to my cart before they sell out. To dig into the topic, I turned to Net-a-Porter senior fashion market editor Libby Page. One of the industry’s most well-versed people in all things fashion, she always has her finger of the pulse of what’s cool.

Her main takeaway for what to buy this fall? Cozy (but stylish) pieces. “The common denominator to be found here is trend-led comfortability,” Page told us. This explains the surge in matching sweatsuits that have been selling out in record numbers. Also popular are reinvented wardrobe staples that maximize comfort but have modern touches that make them feel more updated than your standard basics. That means everything from chunky Chelsea boots to reinvented tees.

In particular, there’s one T-shirt style that Net-a-Porter can’t keep in stock. “Shoulder pad T-shirts are great for dressing from the waist up on endless Zoom calls, but can be elevated dependent on the occasion,” Page explained. “It is the upgrade to the plain white T-shirt, which has been a staple wardrobe piece for years.”

If you’re looking to upgrade your fall wardrobe with a few practical but fashion-forward fall essentials, here, you can shop the 3 pieces Libby Page predicts will land on the sellout list.

Chances are you've probably seen the padded shoulder tee trend take off on Instagram, so it's no surprise that it's one of the most popular items on Net-a-Porter right now. "Frankie Shop's Eva tee still continues to be popular with customers," Page explained, "with new colorways recently being introduced to add to our collections."

Wear a padded tee with classic trousers, a chian necklace, and sport sandals. As we move into fall, swap in a pair of ankle boots and add a leather trench.
Is it just me or is this all the proof you need that the padded tee is the ultimate Zoom-ready top?

With plenty of cool boot trends on the horizon for 2020, which one is already winning out? Based on current sales from Net-a-Porter, chunky Chelsea boots are taking the lead. Not only were they a huge trend on the F/W 20 runways, but they also fit into the new lifestyles of their customer base. "The chunky Chelsea boot has been a highlight globally, with styles from Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen, and Loewe taking center stage," Page told us. "Customers have been styling them transitionally to cater to all climates."

I've been waiting for flat boots to make a comeback and this season they're already everywhere. They go with just about anything, including an on-trend fringed dress.
Add a pair of chunky Chelsea boots to a cozy knit set for the perfect take on cool fall dressing. I particularly love the idea of wearing a skirt set like this one.

As I'm writing this, I'm wearing a sweatsuit set from the desk at my home office, so I've definitely tapped into the loungewear trend that is everywhere right now and it looks like it isn't slowing down. "With working from home becoming the norm for many, the cult sweat set has been a go-to for our customers," Page shared. "We are loving new brands Les Tien and Suzi Kondi, who do this so well in a number of colors, to mix and match depending on your mood."

Sweatsuit trends are perhaps the defining trend of 2020. Simply add a pair of earrings and a house slide and you've nailed a chic but cozy look.

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...
