I’m Shopbop’s Style Director—I’m Telling Everyone to Buy These 5 Fall Trends

As editors, we’ve been continuously sharing our thoughts on the fall trends that are going to be popular this season. While we love to rely on each other for sartorial knowledge, there are some people in the industry who we look up to when thinking about what’s “it” in fashion for the season ahead. Since we scan the market of Shopbop on almost a daily basis, it makes sense that the site’s fashion director, Caroline Maguire, is one of the said people. It’s her job to direct one of the largest fashion e-commerce sites, so trust us when we say her opinion is one you should listen to.

Many trends that have been thrown around into the mix for fall are a little risque (wader boots and sheer dresses), but Maguire chose five that you can wear with no fuss. Think statement pieces like it-knits or simple trends like oversized blazers. Keep scrolling to see all of Maguire’s picks for the season ahead.

“Fall is all about novelty knits—from cropped cardigans to chunky crewnecks, knitwear is an integral part of the autumn wardrobe. I love to add dimension to my look by layering fitted pieces with oversized wovens or split-hem silhouettes. Think cozy and chic!”

“Platform boots are a must-have for fall. Reach for new heights with thick flatforms, exaggerated lug soles, and elevated platforms. The chunkier the better, I love that this trend gives you that extra inch.”

“The micro mini is still here to stay this season. I love to pair my mini with chunky knits and lug sole boots, to lean into the modern femme style.”

“The ideal transitional top coat, an oversized blazer is a closet essential. Style it over your favorite knits and poplins for a casual feel, or pair it with a mini dress and heels for a sophisticated look. This is a classic staple for every occasion.”

“From bright cherry reds to muted maroons (and every eye-catching tone in between!) you are sure to make a statement with this powerful color. I love to mix my red pieces with khaki, cognac, and deep browns for the ultimate fall look.”
