Sometimes, you really only need one new thing. It’s not about buying more stuff. It’s about buying the right stuff. One new thing can make your whole wardrobe feel sparkly and new, whether it’s literally sparkly like a lab-grown tennis necklace or a statement-making snake print belt. This email is all about a little winter shopping, those special pick-me-ups that can get you through this long stretch of the season.
Accessories are always a good place to start, and I’ve been thinking a lot about belts lately. They’re so often the unsung hero of your wardrobe, providing a finishing touch in a pretty understated way. Make the belt a little louder with this Khaite snakeskin number, and maybe even match it to this snake embossed kitten heel. Animal print in general is a great way to inject a little excitement, like this faux fur leopard coat that brings a dose of glamour to any outfit you can dream up.
If you’re looking for more of an investment piece, we’ve got you covered too. Acne Studio’s new signature bag is a structural origami dream, and there’s something so nice about a complete lack of logos. On the other end of the spectrum, a new Gucci scarf for accessorizing year round wouldn’t hurt either. Emme Parsons loafers are on every fashion It Girls must-haves list, as are the seriously stunning lab-grown tennis necklaces from Dorsey.
Your one new thing doesn’t have to break the bank to be impactful, either. Consider your sneakers. Do you have a lot of chunkier shapes? Maybe a lot of white or brighter colored? May I introduce you to the sleek, low-profile black suede Sambas? It’s a sneaker you can wear like a ballet flat or loafer, really. A similar statement maker? Just one gorgeous necklace. This chunky curb chain isn’t real gold, but that doesn’t matter when it brings so much life to your white t-shirts.
Finally, as we look ahead to spring, I’m already thinking about transitional weather. This oversized trench coat with a built in scarf from COS is deeply chic, and would look just as good with a thick wool sweater (now) or your favorite white t-shirt (later).
