I'm constantly on the hunt for the coolest pieces to land at retailers, and since I write the Luxury List column, that includes all things designer. Recently, I've been scouring the new drops at Net-a-Porter, Moda Operandi, and Nordstrom, whose winter arrivals have me thinking about which investment pieces will land in my closet—or, at least, at the top of my wish list.
Right now, I have a number of luxe buys sitting in my cart. Since winter is about to arrive, I'm thinking about pieces like outerwear that will be essential in the coming months and seasonless staples that will last for years and years ahead. From printed statement coats to sleek knee-high boots to strapless tops primed for holiday events, these are all of the cool luxury buys that made the cut.
Net-a-Porter
There are trousers, and then there are Gucci trousers.

Beautiful.
I've been thinking about this since it was everywhere on the street style scene at fashion month.

If you're looking for a special piece, add this beautiful By Malene Birger coat to your cart—a design that is exclusive to Net-a-Porter.
These are so popular they're practically sold out.
Yet another outerwear piece I'm eyeing.
These boots have proven that they're a very solid investment piece at this point.
Talk about a statement coat.

My sister has been on the hunt for a great tote bag, and I just texted her this piece.
Did someone say après-ski?
