    Most Coveted is a bi-weekly shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about

    I don’t usually indulge in the latest “It” item or trend, but this week, I fully succumbed to the siren call of new-season drops. Of course, I went all in on my usual staples, including the classic brown striped shirt in Khaite’s latest drop (as if its cashmere sweaters hadn’t already stolen my heart), classic Nike sneakers, and brown slingback heels courtesy of Saint Laurent. But I was also intrigued by some trendier pieces such as the Raey low-rise jeans you’ll see below. And of course, a new (chillier) season means new (hydrating) beauty products, and I couldn’t get past checkout without adding the Augustinus Bader face oil to my cart. 

    I’ve convinced myself that this is all homework for my day job and that these are all versatile items that will stay in my wardrobe and beauty cabinet for the long haul. Below, take a look at all the items that made me cave and press “add to cart.”

    These jeans kept selling out, so I snapped them up before it was too late.

    $299 AT NORDSTROM

    Does it get chicer than a wool wrap coat?

    Cargo pants are having a real moment right now, and I’m jumping on to the bandwagon with this black pair.

    Birkenstocks are my all-time favorite shoe, so you know I had to get my hands on a shearling-lined pair for fall.

    A classic Nike fleece crewneck is a necessity for the colder seasons.
