If You Want to Dress Like a New York Editor, Explore the 5 Brands on Her October Shopping List
Shop in Shop is a monthly column dedicated to rounding up the latest arrivals, seasonal trends, and styles from our favorite brands and retailers.
It's editor Natalie Gray Herder here, and I'm back to share the brands and arrivals that caught my eye in October. Fair warning: These may do some potential damage to your wallet, but now's the time to start thinking about party outfits, winter style investments, and dare I say, holiday gifting? The brands that made the cut for this installment are Banana Republic, Levi's®, Tanya Taylor, and Chanel for the ultimate luxury accessories. I won't list all my favorites from the bunch, but if you've been keeping an eye out for jacquard tops, cashmere sweaters, and colored jeans, you'll be pleased with the pieces I've curated below.
I'm a firm believer that a new-arrivals roundup should always include denim. Specifically, from Levi's®. This is a brand that can't be beat when it comes to heritage, quality, and price point. I've been on a 501® kick lately, and I'm loving the new crops and colored washes available. If you're in the mood for a little denim refresh, these styles are worth checking out.
I've never regretted investing in designer sunglasses, especially if they come from Chanel. Wraparound sunglasses and bug-eye frames have been trending, but I'm inspired to return to the classics: oval, rectangle, and square styles. My top pick of the bunch? The first Oval Sunglasses ($725) in black.
As I start thinking about holiday party outfits, I'm keeping an eye out for jacquard tops, calf-hair coats, and anything satin. Tanya Taylor's latest arrivals at Saks just checked every box in one quick search. If you are looking for holiday party outfits you can incorporate into your wardrobe long after this season, these are my recommendations.
Banana Republic has stayed on my radar ever since I scored my dream suede jacket from the brand last fall. This fall, however, the brand's collaboration with Zankov has me focused on bold colors and rich textures. The collection is rooted in quality knitwear you can pass down to the next generation. Shop the future heirlooms below.
In the fine jewelry and watch department, Chanel has once again caught my eye. The Coco Crush collection takes the familiar quilted motif of the leather goods and carves it into gold. The result is simple, refined pieces perfect for those who prefer subtle but impactful jewelry. Same goes for the Première watches. These make great gifts for yourself or loved ones this season.
