If someone is entering their tenth – yes, tenth – year at Who What Wear and previously treated their own wardrobe like a job, I like to think I have a little bit of experience when it comes to shopping. While a big part of my role here is deciphering trends and making them accessible to our readers, my personal goal has always been to invest in forever pieces as I come across them. Of course, the fun and trendy finds have a place too, but when I decide what to spend my shopping budget on, whether it’s for an event, holiday or season, the bulk is always reserved for items that I hope will last with me , far beyond my immediate needs.
With that in mind, I thought I’d round up some of my favorite luxury buys for the upcoming season, which I think fit into the fashion investment category. From bags and belts to jackets, pants and shoes, these are the fall-ready clothes and accessories I’d choose if I was looking for something that will last several years or more.
