Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors' curation of the must-know items they can't stop thinking about.
When you're a fashion editor, it's par for the course to trend forecast several seasons ahead. My mind is already in fall/winter 2026, but my wardrobe is focused on spring 2026. This past fall, some of the trends that dominated the runways were bold hues, utility styles, Westernwear, and peplum (controversial, I know). Now it's time to translate these bold styles to our wardrobes, and trust me—the trends are more wearable than you think. If you were simultaneously in awe and intimidated, I rounded up items from every fashion category for you to experiment with. Wedge heels, linen culottes, ballet sneakers, and even some skincare and makeup favorites are waiting for your undivided attention below.
