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!
Birkenstocks are always a great investment—especially these ones with shearling for colder temps.
A midi skirt in this gorgeous tan shade? Yes, please.
This is an Amazon fan favorite, so if you don't take my word for it, just look at the reviews.
Hello to this stunning neckline and cute floral print.
A shiny pair of pants can dress up any outfit.
You'll never have to tuck in your hem again with this T-shirt bodysuit.
A faux-leather blazer is just the thing you need to throw over a simple tee.

Consider your search for the perfect straight-leg jeans over.
Wear it with a long-sleeve and boots in the winter or a tank and sandals come summer. This does it all!
Yet another Amazon fave, and for good reason between the comfortable fit and the fashion-forward design.
You probably need a new pair of black boots, so you might as well get these top-rated lug-sole ones.
Nothing like a classic button-up to make you look effortless.
These expensive-looking tortoiseshell sunnies are surprisingly under $20.
Roomy? Check. Affordable? Check. Classic? Check.
So plush! This longline jacket has a gorgeous rich hue and gold snaps.
Yuzefi's designs are kind of like art, but you'll get a surprising amount of wear out of this perfectly sized shoulder bag.
A super-relaxed pair of jeans looks great with kitten heels or sneakers.
I swear by this best-selling puffer jacket. It comes in tons of shades, and it's the perfect piece for transitional weather.
Yes, everyone knows about Uggs. Yes, they are 100% worth it.
These popular high-waisted jeans come in sizes 23 to 35 and in both regular and long inseams.
A mock-neck sweater with visible seams will stand out from the rest.
If you want a subtle pop of color with your jewelry, this necklace is for you.
Agolde's jeans are always worth the buy, and I'm eyeing these black, vintage-looking ones.
The feel of sweatpants combined with the look of, well, regular pants.
