I Used to Give Fashion Advice to Millions of People—These Buys Are Worth It

I've worked in fashion for more than five years, and as an editor at a legacy print magazine, I dished out all my best recommendations and curated shopping picks to millions of readers. And if that sounds like expectations were high, they were! Sorting through products may seem like fun and easy work to anyone else, but there is so much thought put into it and endless hours of combing through websites to make sure I've compiled nothing but the best items.
Here, I've rounded up 30 buys that are worth the splurge—or non-splurge, since there are super-affordable pieces included too! Whether it's from my personal experience of wearing them or reading the glowing reviews, I think you'll be very satisfied with these picks that you can definitely wear on an everyday basis. From stylish sweaters to accessories like designer bags and jewelry, you'll find at least one piece (but most likely more) that you'll be obsessed with. Keeping the seasons in mind, you can wear these pieces in colder weather and transition them into spring and summer to get the most bang for your buck. Can't wait to see what you get!
