Truth be told, I don't like spending too much money on my clothes. I love keeping up with the latest trends, sure (I'm a fashion editor, after all), but I hate spending more than $100 on something that might go out of style a few months down the line. That said, there are definitely some product categories I feel comfortable spending a bit more on—you know, the things I know will always be current.
So, what do I consider splurge-worthy? A good pair of jeans, easy-to-wear jackets (blazers count too), classic handbags, and leather boots. The key to purchasing these staples is choosing timeless, neutral designs, IMO.
