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.
Also available in black and camo, and I think I may need all three.
Pair this with black skinny jeans and knee boots.
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.
This is the coziest bag I've ever seen, without a doubt.
Isabel Marant's sweaters are better than ever right now.
I was floored when I saw that this perfect puffer is only $40.
The easiest way to add some life to a gray winter day.
I predict that this is going to be the Reformation It coat of the season.
This is what I'd call a going-out top in the winter.
For those days when it's just too cold for jeans.
I can attest that this looks even better on.
A chenille midi skirt? Sign me up.
Alexander Wang made the double sweater trend easy.
If you see me this winter, I'll probably be wearing these.
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.
I can't stop thinking about how happy these would make my feet.
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 cut of these is as good as the quality of the vegan leather.
The faux-layered look is a micro-trend that's quickly gaining steam.
These incredible hook buttons are what drew me in.
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.
