I'm a Fashion Editor—Here's Everything on My "Buy for Winter" List
I think we can all agree that fashion editors shop a lot more than the average person. After all, it's kind of our job. Lately, however, I've been overwhelmed by all of the new winter arrivals being stocked across the internet during my daily scrolls. And yes, I buy plenty of fashion items that most people would deem a bit-over-the top or too "fashiony," but much of what I'm drawn to is completely wearable and accessible for non-fashion editors. In fact, as the title of this story implies, I'd be inclined to buy them even if I didn't work in fashion. Given the season, this roundup contains plenty of sweaters, outerwear, boots, and more cozy items that will see you through from until S/S 20 (and for future winters to come), so start scrolling and filling your cart, if you're so inclined.
This new iteration of the classic Cortez sneakers will look perfect with jeans and sweaters.
Two things: a) Winter makes me want to wear burgundy, and b) these are as comfortable as it gets.
The perfect winter dress, with or without the matching boots.
This does double duty as a jacket or a shirt.
Additional sizes available here.
Speaking of knee boots, my jaw literally dropped when I saw these.
If you want a great winter blazer that looks designer for a fraction of the price, & Other Stories is always the answer.
This beloved Re/Done style (Kaia Gerber wears them constantly) just got a brand-new wash.
Isabel Marant's sweaters are better than ever right now.
Alexander Wang made the double sweater trend easy.
Everyone has a faux-fur coat, but not everyone has a faux-fur sweatshirt (and they should).
I love that this coat is blue and black as opposed to all black.
This sustainable brand's hand-knit knitwear should be on your radar.
I love sweaters so much that I think I may need a bag made out of one.
There are a lot of fleeces to choose from out there, but this one takes the cake.
The faux-layered look is a micro-trend that's quickly gaining steam.
I can't think of better boots to wear on those bitterly cold days to come.
Get the matching sweater too, or just pair it with whatever complementary knitwear you already own.
Next up, the cold-weather capsule wardrobe: nine outfits, each under $250 total.
