Tapping industry experts and leaders for shopping guidance is often great for inspiration and wardrobe exploration. One insider who's routinely filled with interesting intel is Diego Abba, CEO of Italist. He's at the helm of the luxury-fashion site, so his finger is on the pulse of what's cool and what customers are gravitating toward at any given moment.
For reference, Italist sells designer pieces at the "local" Italian retail price. As we mentioned here, current-season collections are often up to 40% off, and past-season collections are up to 75% off. Oh, and everything ships for free and comes super fast. So if you're looking to invest in something, Italist is a great place to start looking. On that note, Abba is sharing a list of the fall items that are top sellers on the site now.
Keep scrolling for shopping tips, complete with product recommendations if you're interested in investing in a designer item this season.
Statement Heels
"Sparkly, bright, and exaggerated statement heels are popular right now—anything with some 'wow' factor."
Shoulder Bags and Totes
"By volume, the top-selling styles right now are totes and shoulder bags, like from Stella McCartney. Her Falabella style, trimmed with a silver or gold curb chain and made with the supplest faux-lambskin leather, is a modern classic. Introduced in 2009, the style helped launch her fashion label into the forefront and is reimagined each season in new colors, styles, and finishes. You'll always find a great selection of Stella McCartney bags on Italist at huge savings off retail."
Bomber Jackets
"The cropped varsity/bomber jacket style is definitely a trend this fall. It's appeared in both women's and men's collections, and it's a welcome change from the puffers and teddy-style coats and jackets that have dominated the last few years of winter style."
Clogs
"We're also predicting shoppers will double down on clogs, mules, and sabots this fall, especially lined with fur or faux fur. They're comfortable, easy to slip on and off (ideal for house parties and gatherings where hosts ask you to remove your shoes at the threshold), and go with almost anything—jeans, dresses, etc."
Logo Tops/Knits
"Everyone will be in logo-heavy sweaters this fall, too. Just the latest category to be logofied, look for intarsia knitwork and a new, bold way to drop your favorite names and stay warm during the cooler months."
