At the start of every year, I'm always inspired to browse around what my friends and colleagues are writing about. Namely, I'm looking at things on our wish list, this year's upcoming trends, and what's worth your money in a sea of not-so-great products brands promise to deliver on in 2023. Now that New Year's Eve has come and gone, the only thing on my mind is filling my closet with this year's splurge-worthy and affordable finds. As always, Shopbop never fails to deliver.
Yes, 2023 promises to bring inclusive denim and anythingcore-inspired aesthetics for any rhyme or reason (hello, gorpcore parachute pants!), but nowadays, trends are fleeting, going as quickly as they come on our radar. With that said, there's nothing quite as alluring as finding a long-lasting hidden gem of a style that's sure to last through 2023.
Below are all the must-have finds you need to be ahead of this year's trends. You can thank me later.
You can never go wrong with a pair of classic denim jeans.
Motorcycle jackets are so in this year.
Pretty things are still going strong in 2023, including this rose-accent top.
Metallic, reflective bags are definitely going to be a hit all throughout 2023.
This blazer is the perfect hybrid between a wool coat and classic tailoring. Sign me up.
Did someone say Barbiecore?
Chunky knits are still a must-have this year.
Low-rise jeans, move over. Below-the-navel skirts are my latest 2023 obsession.
Staud makes the prettiest bags.
I've never met a teddy jacket I didn't like.
I'll take one in every color.
Canadian tuxedo, but make it Tory Burch.
Quarter-zip sweaters are 2023's unexpected knitwear trend, and I'm all for it.
Cardigans were my first fashion love in middle school, so there's no doubt I'll be filling my closet with them this year.
Even though big, bulky bags are expected to be big winners in 2023, this adorable wristlet is straight out of my dreams and perfectly on-trend for the people who carry only their phone and ChapStick in the winter.
The cargo-pant craze isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
Stripes are a tried-and-true classic.
Miu Miu, move over. Understated leather ballet flats are my most coveted shoe trend of 2023.
Ruched bodysuits may have been so 2016 only a few short months ago, but I'm itching to bring them back this year.
Unexpected, simple details are going to reign supreme.
Velvet over anything. If this Tom Ford for Gucci–esque suit is any indication, bright velvet items are going to be crowd pleasers this year.
You deserve the matching pants too.
Puffy hearts are one of my favorite low-key Gen Z–inspired jewelry trends of 2022, and I'm buying everything I can in 2023.
Avocado realness.
This pearl-detail silky chocolate set is what fashion people would describe as a "slay."
Donni makes the most comfortable pants, hands down.
Silk skirts are a staple for a reason.
The biggest trend of 2023 is timeless, classic pieces that you know will last in your closet for a lifetime. Case in point: Reformation's ultra-luxe cashmere.
This unexpected pop of pink is just what the doctor ordered.
I promise that a metallic bag is a sound investment for 2023.
I like my Breton stripes in every color under the sun.
Chunky gold earrings are one of the accessory trends I'm buying into this year.
Romantic, rosy silhouettes are a favorite for 2023.
Make a statement this year with this bold cutout dress from Pixie Market.
This boxy blazer is an all-time favorite.
Oversize buttons are an expected way to spice up your knitwear.
Is there such a thing as too many pairs of jeans? Asking for a friend.
Tory Burch is a knitwear queen.
At under $100, this top is perfect for a night out on the town.
The "ugly" sweater trend is the cooler, edgier sister of last year's fall fashion favorite.
Bows in your hair overdone? How about bows on your blouse?
The 2023 metallic trend doesn't just apply to handbags.
Wednesday Addams is calling.
The Staud Moon Bag is a big winner among fashion circles. Why not try the baby version in 2023?
This color is everything to me.
This slinky single-shoulder top is incredibly chic paired with slim-fitting trousers.
What can I say? I'm a denim stan through and through.
Monochrome all 2023.
