I'm an Editor With High Standards—27 Winter-Ready Luxury Buys That Will Never Lose Their Appeal

As an editor, I'm often looking ahead to the new season, but right now, I'm completely focused on winter—give me all the bundled layers, elegant outerwear and chunky boots.
Our wardrobes have already been working overtime this season, and if your days have been anything like mine, December has so far been a flurry of gift shopping and planning for the festive period interluded by pre-Christmas dinners and cocktail parties to round off the year. By now, I've been able to identify some gaps in my wardrobe that are ready to be filled.
Whenever I add a piece to my wardrobe, be it high-end or high-street, the criteria remain the same. It has to complement my existing wardrobe to ensure I’ll make the most of it, and it needs to have timeless details like a classic silhouette or eternally chic colourway to ensure its longevity. And when the cooler months arrive, the fabric becomes even more important, as luxurious cashmere, hardy leather and refined wools come into their own. With this in mind, I'm looking for investment buys that will tick all the boxes and serve my wardrobe this winter and for many more to come.
When it comes to luxury items, I can spend hours scrolling through the sites of my favourite designer brands, but if I want a concise edit of the best new-in luxury buys, multi-retailers are the way to go. Of them, Harrods, Net-a-Porter and Harvey Nichols are three I consistently turn to for an update on the latest designer styles. So I thought I would bring together three of my most reliable designer retailers for you, and sift through the thousands of products to highlight the very best winter buys from each.
In the edit below, you'll find a selection of knitwear that is sumptuous in fabric and timeless in design, making for an ideal investment for this winter and every one to follow. Handbags are my personal obsession, and I've picked out a few extra special styles that truly deserve their time in the spotlight.
Ready to invest? Keep scrolling to explore the best winter buys from Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Net-a-Porter.
