As Vogue editors, we often wax poetic on the latest runway must-haves, but not every item we gush about on this website ultimately ends up in our closets. Our discoveries are nice to behold—they’re lovely to look at and inspire fun conversation—however, of all the tempting things to buy, what did we actually end up purchasing? Each month we’ll highlight those special finds our editors welcomed into their lives—all the things that made us buyers rejoice.
Vogue Editors’ Picks:
The Quilted Liner
“The crazy freezing temperatures this month once again reminded me that I don’t own a proper cold-weather puffy coat. I looked and looked and ended up buying this long quilted liner from Everlane which is… not a proper cold-weather puffy coat, but it’s a wonderful warm layer underneath my other non cold-weather coats. Maybe one day I will be practical towards the elements but that day is not today.” —Laia Garcia-Furtado, senior fashion news editor, Vogue Runway
The Cuffed Sweaters
“Cuffing season calls for sweater investments. I love this Marina Moscone with the squiggly red M and a full burst of red with this High Sport crewneck.” —Chloe Malle, editor, Vogue.com
The Retro Sneaker
“Sambas have never quite done it for me but I caved when I saw these Tokyo sneakers in store last weekend. I love the slim profile! I plan to wear these with trousers and a suede jacket for spring.” —Talia Abbas, senior shopping editor
The Versatile Boot
“I made my big seasonal purchase in mid-January with these Toteme black Chelsea boots—and I’ve promptly worn them at least four times a week since, as they pair effortlessly with both the knit maxi skirts I wear to work and wide leg denim I wear on the weekends. As my mother always said…if you’re going to spend, spend it on something classic.” —Elise Taylor, senior lifestyle writer
The It Sneaker
While most of my office looks are anchored by a ballerina or kitten heel, the centerpiece of my transitional wardrobe this season is Dries Van Noten’s python-print sneaker. It’s the Year of the Snake, after all! The Antwerp-based brand released the shoe in a number of new colorways and finishes, but I couldn’t resist this punchy print to wear with skirts and opaque tights now, and on its own with dresses in the spring. It’s a comfy yet totally unexpected finishing touch that no fashion girl (myself included!) can resist! —Laura Jackson, shopping writer
The Canadian Tuxedo
“When I saw that the latest JW Anderson x Uniqlo release was going to have Canadian Tuxedos, I immediately ran to the nearest store to get myself the navy blue set. Uniqlo’s jeans are so soft and comfortable, and the fit of the denim shirt and jeans are just perfect. My only con is that the pieces are quite thin so I would definitely recommend layering with some heat tech on those ultra cold days.” —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate
The Suede Loafer
“While the Khaite sale was going on, I tried to avoid the website. I had just bought a new China cabinet, a new lamp, and a new entryway table. I’ve been in full home nesting mode—but, the call of Khaite kept drawing me back in. I scoured the site and instantly saw the loafers I’ve been waiting for. I’m quite impulsive so before I could think about them too much longer (especially since I’d been dreaming about them for a while) I clicked to purchase. They needed no breaking in! The perfect treasured essential.” —Cortne Bonilla, senior shopping writer
The Soft Sweaters
“In case you haven’t noticed, it’s freezing in New York. I’m seeking small comforts in cozy sweaters—and I can’t get enough of J.Crew’s extra soft selection” —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
The Leopard-Print Mini
“I’m so excited about this dress. The denim has a nice weight to it, so I plan to wear it this winter with tights and boots. Come spring, I’ll be bare-legged and pairing it with platforms.” —Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director
The Warm Layers
“If I was to purchase anything in January, I only had one priority top of mind: warmth! New York City experienced a few sub-zero temperatures, so I knew I had to quickly add more base layers to my shopping cart this month. I was inspired by Willow Lindley’s Fashion Finds column, and ran to Uniqlo to stock up on these cashmere Heattech tops. They’re already running low in stock, but I was able to snag the piece in a dusty rose, and a natural white colorway—both neutral enough to pair with any and everything, and feel on-trend for spring ahead.” —Clarissa Schmidt, marketing & production manager
The Dramatic Knee-High
“I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect knee-high boots with a dramatic elongated toe, and this pair from Schutz hits all the right notes. Soft yet sleek, they add an easy chicness to any outfit. I especially love how the slim silhouette pairs with a midi skirt, but they look just as great with dresses, denim, or tailored trousers.” —Sam Ravin, community manager, Vogue app
The Finishing Touch
“One of my 2025 goals is to work on styling the pieces I already have in my closet in new ways, so I’ve been amping up how I accessorize my outfits to make them feel fresh and fun. This month, I picked up a few new pieces of jewelry and I’ve found myself reaching for this statement necklace from Heaven Mayhem every time I want to make a sweater and jeans look more exciting. It always does the job!” —Taylor Lashley, manager, social media
The Cowgirl-Inspired Accessories
“It might be the resurgence of Cowboy Carter on loop in my apartment, or my boyfriend’s obsession with the new season of Yellowstone, or my bestie’s bachelorette weekend coming up in Austin—but I am all for Western-inspired styling right now. I have been wearing Maje’s classic fringe bag nonstop as a subtle nod to the trend.” —Lea Donenberg, associate producer
The Statement Trench
“When it comes to cold-weather dressing, your outfit begins with outerwear. This season, I finally found the perfect coat: Retrofête’s Knightley leather trench coat. The long black trench coat is the perfect statement piece and instantly gets me compliments every time I step into a room.” —Taylor Anderson, associate manager, social media
The No-Fuss Tote
“I wanted a “no-fuss, fits-everything” bag, and Cuyana delivered with its Classic Easy tote. It’s even monogrammed in gold foil with my initials… I love a good personalization!” —Alexandra Ditch, associate commerce producer
The Rugby Knit
“The only thing getting me through this brutal New York City winter is cute sweaters. I recently picked this one up from Gant, and it has quickly become my favorite go-to. The only problem is that I have to fight my boyfriend off from stealing it.” —Molly Barstein, associate manager, audience development
The Warm Wool
“Even in the bitter winter cold, I try to find ways to bundle up and still look cute. This coat from & Other Stories helps me do just that—it’s lined, has a good weight to it, and is long enough to almost reach my ankles. It’s perfectly oversized so I can layer chunky sweaters and turtlenecks underneath for extra warmth.” —Katie Henwood, associate director, audience development
The Valentine’s Day Special
“My Valentine’s Day tradition with myself is getting this candle duo from Diptyque. It’s my two favorite scents—Baies and Roses—in limited edition packaging that changes every single year. This year the vessels are bright red and soft baby pink… I can’t wait to transform them into something new once I’ve used the candles.” —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty & wellness editor
The Trendy Frames
“Love these Bonnie Clyde oval glasses! Feeling so trendy—which, if you know me, is rare.” —Sache Taylor, director, special events
The Stylish Ski Wear
“Dreaming of bluebird days on the slopes, I treated myself to the impossibly chic skiwear from X2 NYC, a brand I recently discovered and fell in love with. Created by the Guidry twins, McKinley and McKaelyn, X2 NYC blends the elegance of Hollywood’s golden age with cutting-edge performance. Think modular ski suits with detachable sleeves and vintage-inspired details that transition effortlessly from powdery peaks to après-ski cocktails. Designed for skiers who can’t resist both glamour and function, X2 NYC is guaranteed to turn heads on the slopes—making the real challenge to ensure my form on those icy black diamonds lives up to my ski suit!” —Sasha Pinto, experiences manager, Vogue100

The Becky Malinsky-Inspired Outfit
“I am head over heels for Becky Malinsky’s Alex Mill collaboration and particularly love this taffeta, moss-colored anorak. The perfect topper for holiday parties with a slouchy sweater and miniskirt (I also got this Banana Republic mini to go with it, inspired by none other than Becky’s substack!)” —Chloe Malle, editor, Vogue.com
The Everyday Crossbody
“This was a little birthday present to myself. I wanted a crossbody to wear on the weekend and thought long and hard about which color or material to choose—Khaite has so many, all equally covetable! I’m happy I settled on the python leather, the snakeskin goes with almost everything in my wardrobe, and for once, the strap isn’t too long! I like that you can remove it, too, and turn it into a clutch.” —Talia Abbas, senior shopping editor
The Winter Styling Trio
“Winter is all about amping up my accessories game. I recently bought a vintage faux fur coat while thrifting, and I’m obsessed with it. It gives The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel aesthetic in the best way possible—and there’s a very similar one by LouLou studios you can get right now, no digging through clothing racks necessary. Next, I can’t stop wearing my Andreia earrings from Shashi because I love the sculptural shape. Finally, let’s talk about W 78 St’s bags. They are chic and feel like fluffy little pillows.” —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
The Neutral Upgrades
“Around this time of year, I am hyper-focused on holiday gifting for my nephews and family, of course, but I still always sneak a little something in for my husband, James, and myself. I recently realized I don’t own many black knits, only cream and brown, and other neutrals. So I re-upped on my favorite heavy-hitter! I also needed a new robe for getting ready in the morning, and James needed a new leather jacket. I’ve also been on a home furnishing journey, so I purchased this lamp for our new entryway table.” —Cortne Bonilla, senior shopping writer
The New Year Refresh
“As I threatened I would, I did indeed purchase these Reformation Rae ankle boots on Black Friday and I am so glad I did. They’re sleek and comfortable, and they make a great addition to my winter wardrobe. I also picked up a Calvin Klein tank top during the holiday sales and I am so impressed by its quality: it’s thick, soft, and supportive. No bra, no problem.” —Hannah Jackson, fashion writer
The Fashion Fleece
All the cool girls are sporting sherpa right now! The retro fleece jacket has made a grand return—Miu Miu put the style back on the fashion map—and I’m cozying up in this quarter-zip from J.Crew that looks great with black leggings, corduroys, and my red pants! The Fair Isle print adds a festive touch that can be worn well after the holidays. —Laura Jackson, shopping writer
The Cool-Girl Jeans
“I’m not really on the internet, but someone said “ok jeans” to me while I was wearing these, and I’m pretty sure that’s a compliment! These jeans are comfortable, cool, and somehow manage to feel both laidback and put-together. They’ve quickly become my favorite pair!” —Sache Taylor, director, special events
The Not-Too-Precious Jewels
“I want my jewelry to be precious but not too precious that it feels like I can’t live in them every day, and California Dirt makes pieces that are just that. Handcrafted in LA out of precious metals, all the California Dirt pieces are reminiscent of the sun and the sea, and blend the hard with the soft in a way that fits into lots of styles perfectly. So this December, I’m pulling the trigger on a purchase. I have my eye on the Luci pendant (although my name is spelled with a -y not an -i), or you can go with some of the simpler or sleeker shapes.” —Lucy Dolan-Zalaznick, creative development senior associate
The Cozy Faux Fur
“I am in my cozy season and reaching only for super soft options! Alo’s faux furs are like little clouds and I’m waiting for this Opulent crop to arrive in time for our annual Nana Klaus friendship holiday party so I can rake in the ‘oohs’ and ‘aahs’!” —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
The Sequin Touches
“In honor of the festive season, I couldn’t help but browse some fun sequin skirts! I was looking for the perfect New Year’s Eve outfit, but also wanted something that I could continue styling on a regular basis once the holiday season is over. (Luckily, Vogue Shopping’s Laura Jackson has pulled together the perfect guide for sequin skirt outfits, to help you put together a full ensemble!) I landed on these affordable options, and can’t wait to take them out for a spin!” —Alexandra Ditch, associate commerce producer
The Holiday Packing List
“It’s that time of year that I cosplay as Cameron Diaz in The Holiday. Specifically, Cameron Diaz in Kate Winslet’s character’s cozy Surrey cottage with no central heating. Wearing my Grey/Ven cable knit sweater, my J.Crew brushed cashmere beanie, and my favorite Mini Uggs does the trick. All I need now is for Jude Law to knock on the door!” —Lea Donenberg, Associate Producer
The Statement Earrings
“I firmly believe that no outfit is complete without an ear stack. Therefore, I’ve recently been investing in more earrings. I came across Eight Five One and knew I had found the right jewelry brand to achieve the ear party of my dreams. As someone with multiple piercings, I went with the Clara Studs—but don’t fret if you only have one piercing, they also make it in a cuff version. I absolutely love the draping effect that these pieces give!” —Molly Barstein, associate manager, audience development
The Cozy Staples
“In the spirit of gifting this month, I picked up some winter essentials for my partner, including this fashionable/functional jacket and some more cold-weather staples from Carhartt. Okay, fine—I may have done some damage for myself, too! I recently discovered Quince and grabbed a few gorgeous (affordable!) cashmere pieces in rich, winter-ready shades.” —Sam Ravin, community manager, Vogue app
The Leopard-Print Skirt
“I bought a leopard-print skirt by No Less Than, from one of my favorite LA plus-size shops, Fat Fwd. I’m obsessed with its versatility; it’s basically a neutral and the length is perfect.” —Emma Specter, culture writer

The Cozy Essentials
“I’ve been loving the latest from Bally and picked up this Fair Isle scarf for ski season. I love the classic blue and red pattern. Cozy! Speaking of cozy, and a bit of a surprise move for myself, I bought these shearling slippers from Ugg! I already know I won’t want to wear anything else once I take my ski boots off.” —Talia Abbas, senior shopping editor
The Corduroy Trouser
“Last month, Vogue declared corduroy pants as the perfect alternative to jeans this fall. I didn’t need to be told twice! This brown pair from Everlane is both comfortable and on-trend for the cooler months ahead.” —Katie Henwood, associate director, audience development
The Fitted Blazer
“The shrunken blazer has been the new item we’ve all been talking about in the office. We all feel ready to say goodbye to oversized and masculine and hello to fitted, almost schoolboy blazers. This leather luxe version from Veronica de Piante is chic, elevated, and I’ll be styling mine with a tailored coat over the top. It’s an investment piece, that’s for sure!” —Libby Page, executive commerce director
The Holiday Party Finds
“I hate wearing high heels with a burning passion, but I couldn’t pass up these cute kitten heels from Aeyde, my favorite shoe brand. They’re opening me up to explore the heel territory a bit more and I’ll be wearing my Catrina suede heels to all my evening adventures. And now that the weather is getting chillier, I can’t be bare legged. The best tights I’ve found are from Sézane—they’ve already survived three wears without tearing.” —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate
The Tiny Winter Must-Haves
“November was about stocking up on kids’ clothes for the winter months: Ten Little velvet Mary Janes for Alice and a La Coqueta roll neck cardigan for Arthur. I wish they made these in my size!” —Chloe Malle, editor, Vogue.com
The Seasonal Investments
“After wanting a pair of pointy-toe boots for a while, I finally sprung for these sexy Miistas while on a recent trip to Paris. But now I have a new problem: I’m completely obsessed with the brand and want a million more pairs… I wasn’t necessarily in the market for a new sweater when I stopped by Gap the other day, but I instantly fell in love with this super soft chocolate turtleneck. Plus, it’s on sale! How could I say no?” —Hannah Jackson, fashion writer
The Trending Sweaters
“The holidays are upon us, and the weather here in NYC has finally started to cool down. I’m embracing the season with a knitwear refresh. I knew I had to have Line & Dot’s Atlas sweater the moment I saw it in our Under-$300 edit, curated by our very own Laura Jackson. I love a two-in-one styling hack! Plus, I have a feeling green isn’t going anywhere any time soon… I also grabbed Gap’s avocado green cardigan (bonus: it’s on sale now!). —Clarissa Schmidt, marketing & production manager
The Sweatpants Reset
“Ahead of the holidays… I bought sweatpants. Yes, sweatpants!” —Madeline Fass, senior shopping market editor
The Wide-Calf Boot
“If you are searching for an affordable statement shoe this winter, I have got just the thing. These nearly knee-high buckled leather kitten heels are an easy way to look effortlessly chic while staying near to the ground—a necessity for this season. Throw it on with a pair of baggy jeans or let them be an outfit highlight with tights and a mini skirt this winter. Fun fact: I wore these while working the New York City Wicked Premiere, running up and down the red carpet, and I didn’t want to cut my feet off by the end of the night! Comfy!” —Maya Layne, entertainment associate
The French Girl Uniform
“Bopping around SoHo boutiques with my strolling partner Tina Chai, we talked about the neighborhood’s new ‘Little Paris’ area (there are even signs!) and how French New Wave film star Anna Karina’s style is forever cool, while we draped ourselves over Chanel tweed couches and BDDW chairs. This White + Warren striped crewneck is on its way to me now to pair with Urban Renewal vintage Levi’s and some ballerina-pink heeled Mary Jane Rothy’s for a cozy French New Wave holiday in New York look!” —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
The Winter Wedding Guest Dress
“I have one final wedding of 2024 in December—so I bought this elegant yet relatively affordable (the best combination!) gown from Kyiv-based brand, Sleeper. I also love that it feels festive without being too on-the-nose holiday.” —Elise Taylor, senior lifestyle writer
The Classic Knits
“I scored a couple of J.Crew’s roll neck sweaters during their early Black Friday sale. You simply can’t go wrong—they’re classic!” —Alexandra Ditch, associate commerce producer
The Celeb-Loved Pieces
“I’m always on the lookout for tall girl-friendly jeans and earlier this month Gigi Hadid was spotted in a pair that looked too good to be true. I tracked them down and can confirm that they are that good—they’re the Kate jeans (in tower wash) from Cotton Citizen and they’re a new closet staple. I also picked up this collarless blazer from Aritzia that will be heavy in my holiday party outfit rotation this season.” —Taylor Lashley, manager, social media
The Y2K-Era Accents
“I can’t stop talking about my Colin Locascio faux fur hat—not only is it absolutely perfect for the current weather, but it’s also so Lizzie Mcguire/Mary Kate and Olsen in the noughties (in the best way)… and yes, I do have this hat in multiple colors. Speaking of daily favorites, I reach for my Extreme Cashmere T-shirt repeatedly. It’s the perfect T-shirt to wear on its own and amplifies coziness when layered.” —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
The Party-Ready LBD
“I booked a December trip to Puerto Rico and immediately purchased this dress, which can also be worn detached as a skirt and a crop top. I’m in love.” —Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director
The Festive Separates
“This month, I picked up this skirt from Vince that I thought would be absolutely perfect for both the holiday party season and the warmer months due to the stunning color. Who knew sequins were so versatile? (This is me justifying this purchase in my mind.) I also finally gave into a pair of satin pants after eyeing them from afar. I’m looking forward to playing with all the ways I can dress these up and down.” —Sam Ravin, community manager, Vogue app
The Patchwork Skirt
“I bought this Frame miniskirt on TheRealReal, and I can’t wait to wear it with boots and tights and achieve my lifelong dream of dressing like Rory Gilmore (if she slayed).” —Emma Specter, culture writer
The Military Jacket
“In a sea of camel coats, oversized trenches, and shearlings, I can be spotted in my authentic U.S. military jacket with a faux fur stole from 74 the Jacket. This woman-owned vintage outerwear brand sources one-of-a-kind jackets and bespokes them with fur collars and a myriad of personalized brooches. Warning: Do not wear this around the streets of New York if you don’t want to be stopped multiple times to share details of this piece. I like to pair mine back with some Chimi sunglasses to stay out of the limelight. Gosh, I just wasn’t born for this much attention!” —Lea Donenberg, associate producer
