I Love Them—I'm Sorry: 36 Elegant Buys on My Winter Shopping List
If I had to pick just one word to base my entire winter wardrobe on—hell, my year-round wardrobe—it would easily be elegant. I wouldn't have to stress about trends. I could instead focus all of my attention on timeless and sophisticated pieces that can be mixed and matched with each other effortlessly, making getting dressed a painless part of every day. If I had to bet, I'd guess many people would agree.
Running with my assumption, I thought I'd save those fellow elegance seekers some time by sharing my winter shopping list. Of the 36 pieces currently on it (it's always growing), each was handpicked for its classic and distinguished characteristics. There are hats—pillbox ones, of course—jewelry, footwear of all types, classic handbags of all sizes, and plenty of ready-to-wear, from pencil skirts to capes to satin dresses. It's a treasure trove for consumers who want to appear polished and stylish throughout winter and into 2025.
