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

    Nothing makes me feel like I’ve made the best sartorial decision more than when others compliment my choices. As the designated fashion editor of my friend group, I’ve become the go-to for fashion and beauty questions—we’ve even resorted to a separate WhatsApp group focused only on trends. I love nothing more than sharing my fashion and beauty secrets with my friends, so today, I thought I’d share an edit of the items that I’ve been inundated with questions about this month.

    First on the list has to be the Weekend Max Mara coat that had me stopped by several people in London’s Selfridges this weekend. And while traveling to Greece recently, my Tory Burch foldable travel flats also landed a few compliments—one lovely flight attendant even asked me to write down their name for her. Below, I’ve curated an edit of all the fashion and beauty items I’ve had people ask about in the hope they’ll earn you the same compliments they did me.
