I spent the last week wearing Upstate clothes, which is a fun kind of drag to step into mid-fall. I’m not a gorp girl, so the outdoorsy pieces I have are the ones intended to complete the package, for the most part…more mix-and-match than endless wardrobe.
Top marks go to the fur-lined Morjas boots that can walk through farmland all the way to dinner, the Literary Sport quarter-zip with thumb holes that’s slim but loose (I wore it under fishing waders), the Keen hiking sneakers Nir bought in duplicate for himself so we have to coordinate who wears theirs when, the &Daughter v-neck sweater already several falls deep, the airy Canada Goose quilted liner jacket (any will do, but this is mine and it’s served me well), the Veilance rain shield that’s done a tour at PFW but lives most comfortably on a trail hike, the Le Monde Beryl outdoor slippers for trudging down to the barn with your morning coffee. Nice to do memory-making things wearing clothing that feels uncomplicated and is done right.
I keep an eye out for
’s new releases each winter, not only for the product itself—re-worked vintage furs out of Russia—but because the styling shows me how the more advanced dressers in New York are going to be putting together looks a month from now.NerejaCollection 24 landed on IGlast night, showing satin-backed pelts crafted into coats, jackets, capes, anoraks, collars, etc. worn in a Miuccia-like fashion—more shrugged-off and accidental compared to past seasons that leaned carefully Old Hollywood or Art Deco, or even LA tomboy. Teaser images of ‘90s-era Chloe Sevigny and Kate Moss pairing their shaggy furs with knits and cord chokers posted to the Nereja account set up the It-girl eclecticism that’s a staple on thePradaandMiu Miurunways, which Nereja’s tundric nativism parses to imposing mink, astrakhan, and fox with a credibility that’s not easy to achieve. Contact them via WhatsApp to inquire, coats are $5k-ish and up.Phoebe Philocontinues playing chess, not checkers. With themost recent interval of Collection E, the designer debuts silhouettes that others might relegate to the sale rack. The 2016-erahooded, cropped bombergot Philoified! She madewader overallssexy! Sculpted from liquidy pearl satin,this maxi t-shirt dresseasily becomes ethereal. And then there were things never seen in couture, like thesetux trousers with a trainand this furry,Hefner-style belted robe coat. All in all, another Grandmaster-level drop from PP.Two exclusive capsules are now live on MyTheresa. First, there’s a tres-beige
Brunello Cucinelliwinter editfor men and women. The brand prides itself on knitwear, so the offering is laden withwool polos,mohair winter accessories, andcashmere turtlenecks(the bungee cord keeps things interesting). MyT has also begun rolling outMugler’sRe/edit collection, for which the house is reinterpreting its signature archive pieces. The skirt suits, in bothruffled charcoal pinstripeand anhonest-to-god black? Exaggeratedly tailored. The hips on thisvelvet bustier gown? Padded. Obviously.What do princesses party in? Moda Operandi
turned to friend-of-the-house Olympia of Greece to curate acapsule collectionof soirée-wear that includes both aset with contrasting eggplant trim and aConnor Ivesboudoir-y magentaRodarteslip. Referencing the lookbook, we’re piecing together what Olympia’s into: voluminous skirts (feather-trimmedandtutu),oversized sunnies, andLouboutinsbeing a few key staples.The
ReformationHoliday Collectionwas more whoa than I was prepared for: asequin-crocheted racerback dressthat goes alllllll the way down, for one (and it’s a big one), and theVeda(its longtime leather partner) pieces that include thisleopard-print trenchandboxy red calf-hair jacket. Thislace topis pure Vaccarello, except its $168.Finally,
the first prettyOuraring coverhas come in the form ofAflalo’sFall 2026 fine jewelrylaunch—the yellow gold cigar band is studded with a hefty diamond (there’s a reason it’s $7,500…). There’s also theLibertine pendant, a silver box necklace adorned with a bedazzled relief, designed to accommodate nicotine pouches (or anything fingernail-sized). Leandra Medine Cohen’sLMCmasterminded these for Aflalo, in the name of beautifying our gadgets and vices. The new “balance between cigarettes and tofu.”There’s also:Comme Si’s quiet luxury version of theJuicy Couturetracksuit, and more from itsnew Knitwear Collection;BirkenstockandStaudreunite to releasecozy shearling clogs; I can only find these new sexy calf-lengthMartinianoboots for sale atTangerineandCarmen Amsterdam(why?!);Fanedoes its first silk bag collectionin ivory (bridal but also, whenever) and tux black; a superpretty-in-pink FW26from Paris-based brandRescha;Em Reitz’snew Nocturne collectionof pleated tops getsT Listedfor its architectural approach; and Rennes has some special stuff fromGrey’sin stock right now, like thisvelvet flight coatand thiscanvas maxi skirt.
FilsonxFreeman’s latest raincoat collabis fit for fishermen and sailors alike (and the two brands are from Seattle, so theyknowrain). The former company’s waxed shell tech keeps dampness out, while the latter’s checkered wool lining adds a layer of insulation to the new Mackinaw jacket, which comes in two colors. Now that I think of it, I’ve never had a rain coat that actually keeps me warm as well.
Holiday collections are officially hitting the home goods market. First,
Sophie Lou JacobsenandJustine Clenquetlaunched somereallycute cocktail sets. Both theamber-bottomed tumblerand theSwarovski-studded Nick and Norascome with chainmail cocktail picks—they’re like jewelry for your olives. Speaking of,Olive Ateliersreleased itsLa Curiositéholiday edit, where it’s selling Renaissance Old Master-stylewrapping paperandgift cardsprinted with pears. AndChristine Gachot(of the namesake interior design studio) just published the ultimate gifting book, titled. She wrote about everything from gift ideas to present-wrapping tips—if you wanted to be meta, you could gift the book itself.The Thought That CountsMaximalist and patterned rugs get a bad rap—people say that you’ll get sick of them, that they’re not versatile, etc. Maybe
Christopher John Rogerswas trying to debunk this whenhe set out to design 10 carpetsforThe Rug Company. Some elements of his new collection, like theLattoro, are more graphic and geometric, but most are pretty painterly, and are named as such (Marker Test,Chalk Line, andPaintstrokebeing a few obvious ones). But by keeping all the shades pretty earth-bound, CJR’s rugs avoid kids' room-allegations and stay in chic-creative territory instead.And continuing with the colorful gist,
Pendletonhas teamed up withto plaster its bright, triangular knits onto the latter’sThumaheadboards,throw pillows, and more. Considering Thuma’s most popular piece is probably itsminimalist wooden bedframe, this collab is a different creative direction for the furniture maker. Thesofaandclub chairare already sold out, so it seems like it’s working.
I’m overwhelmed by the
Net-A-Porter Private Sale, the first and often best phase of its Black Friday rollout, already—there’s too much good stuff. You’ll need to be logged in to access up to 50% off on classicDôen(cardigansanddresses), 40% off the ubiquitous wovenSanta Croc totefromDragon Diffusion, and 30% off thiswear-foreverTotemebasic. But maybe this is a sign to take risks, now that thesecinched-and-balloonedheeled boots fromMargielaare $300+ off…Uniqlois hosting anEarly Access salethrough 11/11, includingcollab piecesfrom U (cheapLemaire) and C (cheap Clare Waight Keller). It’s a real quality-over-quantity type clearance that extends to bestsellers like thePufftech vest(perfect base layer, or perfect for finance guys),these long-sleeved Heattechs in 14 (!) different colors for $25, plus a rainbow ofcashmere crewnecksfor under $100. As you can imagine, things are selling out as I write this.So, too, is
COS. It is20% off sitewide, with the usual exclusions that tend to be pretty broad. (Can you really call it sitewide at that point? Oh well.) Still plenty of very buyable stuff, like afine wool quarter-zipthat’s catnip for my closet, afloppy oversized scarf jacket, a very elegantshawl-collar coat…it’s COS, so prices are great, most things under $200.Okay, this one’s a bit of a scavenge. MyTheresa is offering 30% off through
its gigantic private sale—the offering may seem a bit daunting, but to pinpoint a few places to start: You can take around $500 off both thischainmailRabannebagandthese Tabi boots. There’s quite a bit ofChloéin the mix (ajacquard sweater, anXL Paddington, andthis Delft-inspired ring) and someDriesas well (pants,crazy cranial embroidery). And for those inspired by the marathon, there are tons of sneakers fromandOnTruly something for everyone.New Balance.Beachy brand
Faithfullis having aprivate salefull of, as you might guess, resort-type looks. Buyingtwo-toned strapless maxis,sweet string bikinis, orbreezy linenpants may be weird when the sun sets at 5 PM, but come January vacation you’ll be thankful for the 40% discount. (On second glance, thisprune knitis wintery enough—and nearly $70 off.)There’s also: Fragrance heads,Nordstrom’s Early Black Friday saleincludes a lot of great luxury scents (andBaccaratat 15% off, not bad); if you wanted to, you could get all of next year’s wedding attire atTom FordTove’s archive sale; and there’s 30% off all the prep staples atRalph Lauren’s Fall Wardrobe event.
