A Fashion Editor-Approved Shopping List For 2026

I’m already mapping out my key shopping buys for 2026. Year over year, my approach is rather consistent—my buys are rooted in timeless finds that I can add to my closet to wear immediately, but also plan to keep in rotation in my wardrobe for many years ahead. My plan for 2026 is no different, and I already have a short list of items I’m eyeing to add to looks first.

I have everything from practical, everyday items in mind, such as a Polo Ralph Lauren quarter polo sweatshirt, a classic cotton pajama set from J.Crew, and beautiful, versatile sunglasses from Persol. Winter essentials, including shearling gloves and a polished coat are topping my list of seasonal buys. I’ve also been building out my jewelry collection, so I’m planning on investing in earrings from Chanel and La Pietra. Ahead, see my highly personal, fashion-editor approval list of pieces to shop in 2026.
