The Very Best Things Our Editors Bought This Year

“It’s official: This year, I broke up with my super baggy jeans, and I invested in a timeless silhouette that doesn’t follow trends. The Khaite Danielle jean checked all of the boxes for me, thanks to its subtle stretch and leg-lengthening design.”—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce content lead

“This coat singlehandedly got me through this year. It goes with everything, and it’s comfortable. I can squish it down pretty flat to pack it, and yes, it is indeed warm! If I could only save one piece of outerwear from my closet, I’m grabbing this one, hands down.”—Meg Donohue, associate fashion commerce editor

“It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Khaite, and I’ve been eyeing these Nevada Leather Ankle Boots for months. In my humble opinion, they’re the perfect way to add personality to your shoe collection and would look great with a midi skirt or a pair of jeans. I felt pure joy when I clicked ‘purchase.’”—Claire Stern Milch, digital director

“I went to Madrid for the first time in November, and one innocuous trip to browse Casa Loewe led me to commemorate my visit with a new purse. Having researched the Spanish fashion houses’s bags, I knew what I was getting into, but ultimately landed on the Paseo. Its silhouette feels both modern and classic, and I love that it reminds me of a dumpling—and really, Loewe’s ultra-soft leather alone is worth the purchase.”—Dale Arden Chong, senior fashion commerce editor

“I stepped up my no-makeup makeup routine this year. And Saie has been my secret to getting that lit-from-within glow. After applying an essence, moisturizer, and serum, I smooth on two pumps of the Glowy Super Gel for an undetectable, flawless, skin-like finish.”—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce content lead

“One of my go-to places for chic basics is The Frankie Shop. I fell in love with this coat this season while shopping for pieces for the colder weather. The coat is a classic style that works well with so many pieces in my wardrobe. However, I think the padded shoulders and longer length of the coat really help elevate it and make it feel different from other coats I’ve previously owned.”—Carson Stannard, fashion associate

“2024 was really my year of baggy jeans, but my favorites have to be from Agolde. The Low Slung Baggy is the perfect style if you’re after a relaxed yet polished jean without distressed finishings. Paired with pointy kitten heels or classic penny loafers, these jeans have seamlessly taken me from casual hangouts to sleek events. If you’re after an even baggier fit, try the men’s sizing!”—Madison Rexroat, accessories editor

“I know there are a million sunscreens out there, and, trust me, I’ve experimented with many of them. But, time and time again, I always come back to Chanel’s UV Essentiel. It doesn’t sit on top of the skin like others, and blends seamlessly with my makeup. Yes, it’s a bit of a splurge, but I’ll always invest in protecting my skin.”—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce content lead

“I cannot resist an expertly crafted blazer, so it was love at first sight when I saw the modern update Rosie Huntington Whiteley gave to this double-breasted beauty for her collaboration with Wardrobe.NYC. It has a cinched waist that’s universally flattering, and its modern silhouette is amplified with sharp shoulders. Overall, it’s been an ultra-chic addition to my wardrobe that I’m tempted to wear every single day.”—Alexis Bennett Parker, commerce content lead
