I Shop at Moda Operandi More Than Any Luxury Site, and These 35 Finds Are Why
Few luxury destinations make me want to drop everything and shop more than Moda Operandi does. It's not unusual for me to browse the site on the daily since I tend to discover something new each time. To me, the Moda edit strikes the perfect balance of the buzziest designer buys while also making even the simplest of basics seem exciting. I chalk it up to a number of reasons, from the impeccable styling to the well-edited mix of high designer and contemporary labels. But no matter the reason, I keep returning to the site like a moth to the flame and these 35 finds are the reason why.
Launched over a decade ago with the aim to make the runways shoppable, Moda's "see now, buy now" model remains at the site's core, offering shoppers the ability to preorder the next season's collections before they hit the market elsewhere. It also makes shopping the site feel like an insider experience since you're perusing current-season finds along with what's to come. While the site is vast, I always beeline to Lauren's Closet—the section dedicated to pieces hand-picked by co-founder and fashion veteran Lauren Santo Domingo—to see the distillation of the very best finds of the moment.
Ahead, discover the Moda Operandi finds that are the reason I'm not shopping anywhere else right now.
New Frankie Shop alert! If these nylon shorts (and their button-down counterpart) are half as popular as last year's iterations, they're bound to sell out quickly.
Yep, micro belts are becoming a thing.
The staple I'm committed to this season.
