Despite the suppressive heat of summer, pre-fall trends are popping up everywhere, triggering a Pavlovian longing for cozy layers and crisp nights. Soon it will be time to pack up the pastel skinnies and bright crops of spring and summer in favor of a more autumnal denim palette. Shopbop buyer Alana has been keeping an eye on the latest trends: “Jewel tones are huge for fall. Deep purples, teals, merlots, rustic browns, nudes, and of course, winter whites! The style is still skinny, but with a mix of fabrications—not only denim but also leather, coated, and corduroy.” But, adversaries of the skinny jean fear not. She also noted, “Nothing is better than a ripped boyfriend jean to mix up your new fall wardrobe.”
