My Friend Asked for a List of What to Buy for Fall—I Said These Under-$100 Items

I recently caught up with one of my dear friends over Zoom. Given my role as a fashion editor, our conversations often end with her asking questions about what trends matter for the season and what’s ultimately worth buying if she is in the mood to shop. While she specifically shops at a range of stores, one of her go-tos happens to be Shopbop. So I told her I’d scroll through the site during my market research to bring her a list of all the items I’m loving at the moment. Specifically, I focused on those chic fall items that just so happen to be under $100.

I ended up saving 27 items in total. And while I clearly wasn’t encouraging her to buy the entire assortment, I thought there was bound to be an item or two she’d love from the edit. I also thought you may be interested in well, so I’m showcasing said shopping list for you below. Keep scrolling to uncover a smattering of fall items, including A+ denim cuts, comfy sweaters, and chic blazers. Hey, you may just find one of your new go-to staples.
