I’m a Shopping Editor with High Standards—15 Incredibly Chic Pieces on My 2026 Wish List
A curated edit of timeless buys chosen for longevity, polish and understated luxury.
Every year, alongside my admittedly over-ambitious list of New Year’s resolutions sits an equally hopeful fashion wish list for the year ahead. Writing it down has become something of a ritual; part planning, part manifestation. After all, if it’s on paper, it feels that little bit closer to becoming reality, and for 2026, I decided to shoot for the sartorial stars.

Once I got started, the list quickly took on a life of its own. My luxury bag wish list spans from The Row’s Marlo—an understated sibling to the much-loved Margaux—to Gucci’s newest breakout style, the Giglio. My footwear wish list is equally as curated; Aeyde’s refined ballet flats and Saint Laurent’s endlessly polished loafers are both firmly on my radar. Outerwear and denim wise, Rohe’s now-viral Mandarin jacket and Agolde’s best-selling jeans (cut so well they feel almost bespoke) both earned their place on my list.
