Shopping inspiration, anyone? Well, nobody asked, but I’m certainly delivering anyways. With a dizzying number of new pieces hitting the market, it can be downright intimidating to peruse what’s out there in the hopes of making a little wardrobe update. But that’s where I come in, friends. On a typical day, I’m doing some online browsing to highlight the very best shopping picks of the moment, but today, I’m taking it a step further by showing you what we’re personally adding to our closets and including some inspirational outfit photos.
No doubt, our editors are a stylish bunch—I personally look to their Instagrams for my own style ideas—so when I tell you these new tops, dresses, sunglasses, jewelry items, and shoes are “it,” I think you’ll agree. From Allyson’s Bottega Veneta It bag to Indya’s Y2K-inspired top that’s a “buy immediately” level of cool and a few of our personal faves from our very own namesake collection, keep scrolling for our new fashion favorites.
“This was, by far, my favorite outfit I wore to fashion week. That’s probably because it was also the most comfortable. I’ll be honest. Fashion week outfits don’t always lend themselves well to being worn outside of the week, but I can confidently say I would wear this outfit in real life, too. I think the Ganni dress speaks for itself, but I’ll just add that I’m convinced everyone should own it. Yep, it’s that good.”
“It’s true. I’ve been influenced by TikTok. I love how these boots read as a combo between Western boots and bucket boots—arguably two of the biggest trends right now—but are still really effortless. I plan on wearing them with a big blazer and bare legs.”
“After recently realizing that basically all of my bags are a neutral color, I had my sights set on this little Kermit-colored bag. The problem is that it’s always sold out in green, but I finally tracked it down on Mytheresa (one of my favorite places to shop). I’m so happy with it—it fits a lot more than you’d think it would, and it gets so many compliments. And you’re in luck if you’ve been searching for it, too, as it’s finally available for preorder.”
“This Ciao Lucia cardigan is so special. The cool print, the perfect cropped length, the tortoise buttons… It was all enough to make me order it on the spot. It’s also ridiculously soft, which is always a plus.”
“This blazer is everything. My colleague Nicole actually pointed it out to me, and I instantly fell in love. It’s hard to find a blazer that is perfectly oversize, and this Zara one is exactly that. If you’ve been in the market for a blazer you can wear with legitimately anything, look no further.”
“This top is quickly becoming one of my new go-tos. This, to be honest, is a surprise to me considering how crazy it is. Somehow, it always pulls through as the one piece my outfit is missing. Whether I layer it underneath a blazer, pair it with baggy jeans, or even wear it with tailored trousers, this top looks good, so yes, I’m telling everyone to buy one.”
“I love a knit set, but they often come in neutral colors. I love that this comes in celery green. It’s a fun shade that isn’t too loud. Not to mention, it feels so comfortable, and I can dress it up or down however I want.”
“Although these specific YanYan pieces are out of stock, I can guarantee that anything else from the brand is just as good. The vests are cozy yet lightweight, and the fabric isn’t itchy to the skin like many knits can be. Plus, they come in all sorts of fun prints and colors, so it’s always going to put a smile on my face.”
“This really doesn’t look like H&M at all. You could totally fool people into thinking this came from someplace like Ssense or Opening Ceremony, but the reality is it costs way less than you’d expect. The contrast stitching really sets it off, but if there’s one thing that stopped it from becoming a complete win for me, it was the super-short length. I’d advise wearing it with high-waisted bottoms (like these pull-on pants) to counteract the cropped look, but I’m sure fans of the Y2K wave will go for ultra-low-rise jeans. On the flip side, these pants are quite comfortable and are an all-around useful staple.”
“I am so obsessed with our Who What Wear Collection Stella Dress. It’s the perfect cutout dress, and I happened to scoop it up in both colors because it’s just *that* good.”
“The first time I spotted these Steve Madden mules, I swore they were designer. The twisted heel and cremé color give rich vibes, sans the price tag. As far as styling, I’ve been wearing them nonstop because they go with everything and are so comfortable.”
“I did not think this Storets set would look so luxe, but I was obsessed once I tried it on. It’s so comfortable, and it’s one of those matching sets you can throw on effortlessly, and you look like you spent more time getting ready than you did.”
“I own a few With Jéan pieces, and I have to say the brand’s iconic Andy Dress is still one of my favorite dresses of all time. The ruching is so flattering, and the fabric is über-soft, but the best part about this dress is that you can get it in everything from fun floral prints to solid chocolate-brown hues.”
“I just got this dress, and I can not wait for the perfect opportunity to wear it. It’s so soft, and the fit is immaculate, making it the prime dress for date night.”
“We must take a moment of silence for this woven vegan-leather bag. I just got it, and I had no idea how soft the fabric would be, and it’s become one of my new favorite bags, as it’s practical and downright pretty.”
“I haven’t worn jeans in a minute (approximately since March 2020), so I was both excited and nervous to bring denim back into my regular rotation. Enter Paige’s new curvy denim line, Flaunt. At barely 5’3″, I always have to get my pants hemmed, but I love the distressed, unfinished look of the Bombshell style, so I went for it. With an updated fit to the waist-to-hip ratio, plus a bit of stretch where it counts, this pair of jeans has won its rightful spot back in my weekly wardrobe. If you like to wash your denim (I do, especially after commuting into the city on the subway), I recommend ordering these in a size up, as all denim shrinks a bit in the wash.”
“I styled this look with Mango’s Double Handle Baguette Bag and have to say that I’m really into it. I’ve been on the hunt for a new everyday bag, and this style feels so versatile. It fits all the daily essentials without being too giant.”
“I basically live in Anine Bing sweatshirts during fall, and I couldn’t resist this silhouette this year.”
“I’m obsessed with Sarah Troy’s pearl necklaces, so I got two more. They’re unique and just gorgeous.”
“Before I even received my new iPhone in the mail, I picked out a cute new case for it! What can I say? They’re basically an accessory to me now.”
“I will be carrying this little ’90s-inspired mini bag everywhere with me this fall. Let’s give it up for this extremely chic croc print.”
