My Style Is Thoughtful and Tasteful—30 Must-Have Luxe Pieces I'm Shopping for This Winter
One of my New Year's resolutions this year is to step away from fast fashion and fleeting micro-trends. Instead, I am focusing on being more intentional by investing in high-quality, classic pieces designed to stand the test of time. While this approach may require a more significant investment for specific items, I'm confident that I'll be saving money in the long run since I won't constantly be replacing purchases.
To embark on this journey, I started reviewing my closet. I assessed which pieces I currently have and identified any gaps that need to be filled. After that, I turned to my go-to online retailers—Nordstrom, Net-a-Porter, and Mytheresa—that are known for their thoughtful and tasteful selections. I spent time curating a list of clothing, accessories, and shoes that I believe will seamlessly enhance my wardrobe.
Understanding that many others are also interested in crafting their own capsule wardrobes filled with timeless, well-thought-out pieces, I have decided to share a glimpse into my shopping carts. As we dive into January, I've focused initially on winter attire that keeps you warm and stylish and transitions effortlessly into the spring season. Keep scrolling to discover which items made the cut in my quest for a refined and sustainable wardrobe.
