You might call me crazy, but I take managing my NET-A-PORTER wish lists as seriously as if it were my job. By the way, did you know you could have multiple lists on the site? It's a game changer! I separate my most-wanted buys out into different seasons and events—like a holiday or partywear, for example—and I find this really helpful when considering which luxury pieces to actually invest in. I'll add items I love from the new-in sections (which I regularly check thanks to my actual job as a Who What Wear UK editor), and refer back to the lists over the following weeks to make sure there aren't any impulse buys on there that I would have regretted.
I also find it really useful to see all my favourite items side by side, as it's often the case that certain pieces will jump out at me as being obviously the most versatile—items that I can totally imagine wearing with everything else on the list, for example. Not to mention the handy email updates I'll get if items on my wish lists become low in stock or get replenished. I've been working on building up my winter wish list for a while, especially since the new-season designer pieces tend to drop so early these days. And now that the weather is actually cold enough to wear these items, I'm revisiting it and figuring out which handful of buys I'll actually be adding to my wardrobe (and which I'll be putting on my Christmas list—*hint, hint*).
In case you're feeling nosy and wondering what a stylist and fashion editor is actually considering buying for winter 2023, I've added everything on my NET-A-PORTER winter wish list below for you to shop from (or add to your own lists). Personally, I have quite classic taste when it comes to luxury, and focus mainly on wearable buys that I can get my money's worth out of. So then it shouldn't come as a surprise that you'll find plenty of elevated basics like knitwear and jeans that I know I'll wear on repeat all season. There's also some seriously luxe coats (I'm a sucker for beautiful outerwear, because a great coat or jacket can make any high-street outfit look expensive and polished), along with some hints of both eveningwear and loungewear to cover me for the winter season's two extremes. And of course, there's a little treat or two in there for good measure.
Shop My NET-A-PORTER Winter Wish List:
A red cardigan is top of every editor's list this winter.
Toteme coats are always a wise investment—the quality and design match up to their price points.
A bag I've been considering buying for years now. It's elegant and modern but also timeless.
So cosy, and I'm imagining this will look gorgeous layered under the Toteme leather coat above.
Camel coats always make outfits look expensive, and this one that I've wanted for years has just been restocked.
Rather than repeatedly buying a new pair of high-street knee-high boots every winter, I'd like to invest in these, because I know I'll pull them out every year.
I just think a striped knit always looks so chic layered under a camel or black coat.
I've worn my blue Ayla jeans on repeat, so I know the black version would make a smart investment.
These are so simple and polished.
I have a number of glamorous events this winter, from black-tie weddings to Christmas parties, and a Taller Marmo dress is still top of my list to wear to all of them.
Hands down, these are the comfiest leggings you'll ever wear. I have them in a couple of colours but still haven't got a classic black pair. If you're 5'3" or under like me, the 25" leg will sit just at the ankle, but if you're taller, there's also a 28" leg option.
I think I might have found the ultimate knit: buttery-soft cashmere, a classic cream shade and ribbed edges. It's neither too oversized nor too slim, and it'll fit under coats whilst being thick enough keep you warm. This will be a cherished piece in any cold-weather wardrobe for many years to come.
An autumnal version of my favourite Birkenstocks.
Forget Cartier's Love bangle or Tiffany's T; since Sofia Richie Grainge recently became the face of David Yurman, it's all about the brand's cable classics.
If I'm honest, this will probably be the item I wear the most this winter, especially when paired with leggings, UGGs and a cosy coat for working from home and on weekends.
I love that DeMellier's bags look and feel completely luxurious, but come in at under £500.
The dream "nice top" to pair with everything from denim to smart black trousers this party season and beyond. I can also see it being beautiful to wear to dinners on summer holidays.
A great everyday pair of jeans I know I'll wear on repeat.
The Row's wide-leg trousers are impeccably tailored and impossible to beat.
Perfect thrown over a beige knit and blue jeans.
The chicest festive knit around, but I'll wear this way into 2024 too.
Such a pretty gift idea, but selfishly I'd like one for myself first.
A beautiful, throw-on winter dress that will look great with chunky ankle boots and polished knee-highs, as well as pretty ballet flats come spring.
Luxurious? Totally. But December can be dark and miserable, so opening this up each morning will brighten my days.
I'm in my cosy-girl era and I've heard these feel like a second skin.
A fresh fragrance for the new season ahead.
In a dream world, I'd find a Cartier watch under the tree.
There's nothing better than cosy cashmere socks in winter. I'll be pairing these with the Birkenstocks above and my UGG tasmans.
