As a fashion editor by profession and someone who dabbles in all types of purchases—high, low, obscure, etc.—I have experienced countless cases of buyer's remorse, indifference, and pride. As you can guess, the latter is what you want to experience after spending money on something. 

There's nothing I enjoy more than when someone compliments me on an item and I can tell them I've had it for a number of years and worn it more times than I can count. And, not to brag, but I have a pretty good track record of *mostly* loving my purchases well after the fact. 

So, what's this rant all for? I've rounded up the luxury buys I don't regret purchasing (just in case you're in the market for a splurge). From designer bags to linen shirts, this is the ultimate list for someone looking to play it safe this season or beyond. Keep scrolling to shop and read my take on each item that made the cut.

3. Designer jeans

4. Quality belts

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
