My Mom and I Agree—These "Forever Pieces" Are 100% Worth Buying
Looking to invest in one (or multiple!) timeless luxury fashion items? Maybe you just like to do your market research for whenever the time does come. While I like to think I do know a thing or two about a thing or two, you don't just have to take my word for what's worth buying right now. You can take my mom's too.
No, she's not an editor or stylist per se, but with 60-plus stylish years under her belt, a closet full of covetable gems, and fewer fashion regrets than anyone I know, she is my personal expert when it comes to all things shopping related. Unfortunately, since most of you reading this likely have not ever met or seen her, you'll just have to trust me when I tell you she's incredibly chic. Even I got schooled when I recently ran dozens of luxury new arrivals by her for the story you're reading. To see what made both my and her cut, simply keep scrolling!
If I was making an "iconic designer dresses" starter pack, this would 100% be in it.
Leather-trimmed trench? Sign us up.
Perfect jeans are the cornerstone to a strong casual wardrobe.
My mom always stresses the importance of choosing comfortable shoes, and this heel height feels just right.
I already own this in black and gray, but I'm thinking I need the navy too.
I feel like I need the jacket too.
If you're looking to elevate your everyday outfits, this chic jean jacket is a great start.
You can dress this up or down to get so much use out of it.
This jacket style is classic, so you'll never feel like retiring it.
If I told you how many times my mom has stressed the importance of a good pair of black pants.
I actually brought these to her attention recently, and she is quite intrigued.
It's so hard to choose between all of The Row's amazing bags, but we feel like this one is particularly wearable and classic.
I can't tell you how many people I've convinced to buy these.
Closing it out with the pair I wear every day.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
