We've officially entered cold-weather territory. I've been contemplating what pieces to add to my wardrobe to get me through the chillier seasons ahead. Well, if your goal is also to look elevated this fall and winter, you've landed in the perfect place. I've done my shopping-editor due diligence and combed through the latest arrivals at top retailer hot spots—COS, Shopbop, and Zara—so you do not have to.

Yes, you've read that correctly. You can expect the latest and greatest shopping picks worth adding to your cart expeditiously. In the mix, you'll find a variety of sophisticated-looking jackets, coats, sweaters, and more that'll give you an overall elevated appearance.

Shop COS New Arrivals

You can count on COS for a range of elegant pieces to carry you through the fall and winter. I'm partial to its famous chunky sweaters, but the Scarf Jacket and Croc-Effect Leather Loafers are perfect pieces to add to your wardrobe too.

Shop Shopbop New Arrivals

Shopbop is not messing around with these latest additions. If you want boots that'll make people stop you in the street, the perfect dark-wash jeans, or chic dresses, look no further.

Shop Zara New Arrivals

If your budget is $100, then try these Zara clothing picks. I've also thrown in a few footwear styles that are all under $200 that you'll surely wear for many months to come.

Alright, everyone, let's continue building that stylish closet. I scrolled through two of our favorite retailers, Nordstrom and Shopbop, to curate an edit of chic fall staples that will bring an elevated and modern twist to your wardrobe.

For the most part, I focused on versatile pieces (ahem, next-level basics) that could mix and match with your go-to fall items. Think cool funnel-neck jackets, dreamy cashmere sweaters, and "wear all the time" flats. Keep scrolling for all of that and more.

Nordstrom

Shopbop

At Who What Wear, we talk about elevated basics a lot, and it's because they're foundational wardrobe staples that have the best cost per wear. Even celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner have become known for making them the focus of their personal style.

While browsing various retailers to see what's new for fall 2026, I noticed that Shopbop launched a dedicated section for elevated basics, so I looked through all 1344 items to narrow down the best options.

For tops, anti-trend long-sleeve white T-shirts have been popular lately, such as PerfectWhiteTee's Harley Long Sleeve Boxy Crew Tee, and you can't go wrong with crewneck sweaters, turtlenecks, and cardigans for fall. As soon as summer is over, everyone is shopping for jeans again, with Citizens of Humanity and Agolde being editor favorites. Leset's cotton poplin pants have also been best sellers, such as the Jamie Carpenter Pants.

Two other items that have been on my wish list include Alex Mill's Perfect Weekday Tote and G.H.Bass's new Whitney Weejuns Loafers (I wore my old pair until their last day), which are both under $200. Shop all of these items and more below.

Shopbop Elevated Basics

You'll find everything from forward high-collar jackets and delicious cashmere sweaters to cool jeans and trousers you'll live in, sneakers, and so much more. Note that the regular prices are listed because the discount varies based on the items and your cart size.

Since summer is almost over and temperatures will (hopefully) start cooling soon, it's a great time to add some intentional fall pieces to your wardrobe. It can be a bit tedious figuring out what to buy. The hours scrolling through multiple websites aren't for everyone. Lucky for you— your resident shopping bestie is on it. Lately I've been seeing some specifically great sweaters, jeans, and shoe options at Shopbop, so I did some digging and highlighted some top picks worth checking out just for you.

Yes, you read that correctly. I've hand-picked some strong, editor-approved options that'll make beautiful wardrobe additions.

The sweater picks feature lightweight and chunky knits with everything from bold stripes to solid hues in the mix.

Shop Jeans New Arrivals for Fall

As far as denim goes, there's definitely been an uptick in interest for more fitted styles. Levi's Ribcage jeans will be a favorite more affordable style, but you can't go wrong with any of the picks ahead. If you're more partial to relaxed denim, wide-leg and barrel-leg silhouettes are still in the zeitgeist and a great option this season.

Shop Footwear Arrivals For Fall

Closed toed styles like boots, loafers, flats, and mules are all wonderful options in the comming months. The fashion set are reaching for a rang of cool pairs to complement the incoming cooler weather.

Shop Sweater Arrivals for Fall

I'm partial to a great striped sweater. Ahead shop a variety of color combinations and styles. Are you in the market for a cardigan? A lightweight layering pieces? Perhaps something chunkier? We've got you covered on all fronts.

Wardrobe basics are the true MVPs of my closet. They are the foundation for almost all my favorite outfits—especially simple pieces elevated by modern details. I think the same goes for many of the other fashion people in my circle. A well-curated and balanced closet just isn't the same without elevated basics.

I'm sure you have a collection of go-to pieces already, but if you're looking to expand upon your assortment for fall, I rounded up my favorite basics from two retailers many of us rely on—Nordstrom and Shopbop.

Keep scrolling to shop easy-to-style items, including forward jackets, cool tees (I'm living in long-sleeve T-shirts right now), "wear all the time" sweaters, and so much more.

I love shopping from emerging brands, and I recently covered which ones are stocked at Nordstrom—and today, I went through Shopbop's list of designers to do the same.

While the retailer has it's fair share of household names, it's also an underrated place to shop for less mainstream brands too. I first thought of the Lower East Side's Alex Mill, whose tote bags and ballet flats I've been seeing all over New York City. Other personal favorites include Cecilie Bahnsen, Chimi, Cou Cou, Donni., Enza Costa, Leset, MargeSherwood, Sandy Liang, and St. Agni. Beyond that, there are editor-loved labels like Chan Luu, with its viral taffeta pants, and Apparis, a go-to for faux fur coats.

Across these lines, I found fall staples: layers like cardigans and cashmere sweaters, basics like pointelle t-shirts and boatneck tops, and trending bottoms like cotton poplin pants and capris. Keep scrolling to shop these and more at Shopbop.

Fall shopping is finally here, and our team has been looking through retailers to save you time sifting through what's worth seeing for the season. Today, I went through Shopbop.

I started off looking at brands I know and love: I've been eyeing Alex Mill's The Perfect Weekend Tote, and Ferragamo's Vara Low Heel Pumps are timeless. Kitten-heel pumps are also on my fall wish list, like Tory Burch's Double T Buckle Kitten Heel Pumps. And one of the biggest wardrobe staples we've seen everywhere lately is a classic long-sleeve white t-shirt, like the best-selling Lioness Bloom Long Sleeve Tee.

After months of summer heat, people are starting to buy denim again, such as the Citizens of Humanity's Savannah Cigarette Jeans, Still Here's Childhood Jeans, and Agolde's 90s Pinch Waist High Rise Straight Jeans. With capris coming back as well, the Leset Rio pair caught my eye, and croc-effect bags are trending for fall, like DeMellier's Midi New York Bag.
