These dresses, shoes and jewels are brightening up the final winter months.
It’s safe to say that February is a busy month for fashion — between New York, Paris, London and Milan fashion weeks, a lot of sartorial events and shifts are taking place. But that also means there’s plenty of new fashion inspiration to glean.
After reviewing the most exciting runways and attending some of the most avant-garde presentations, our editors are excited to share the 22 items we were eyeing and buying during this fashion-filled month. From a bold Jean Paul Gaultier dotted dress to edgy pointed-toe sneakers from Maison Mihara Yasuhiro, these pieces are sure to break your winter rut.
Everlane The Alpaca Crew, $75 (from $100), available here (sizes XXS-XXXL): “This is just a PSA that one of the softest, coziest sweaters I’ve ever owned is on sale in some very pretty colors.” —Dhani Mau, Editor in Chief
By Far Off-White Sofia Ankle Boots, $355, available here: “At the brand’s L.A. store, one of the By Far co-founders told me these boots (which the brand gifted) would become the only shoes I’d want to wear, and she was not wrong. They are shockingly comfortable all day/night long and the shape is just perfect whether paired with jeans or a dress. I need them in every color.” —DM
Ciao Lucia Fabia Dress in Carnation, $335, available here (sizes XXS-XL): “I own an earlier iteration of this dress in white and it’s still one of my favorite warm-weather items. With spring just around the corner, I’m now extremely tempted to pick up this just-released pink one.” —DM
Mango Block Heel Shoe in Black, $99.99, available here: “I recently realized my shoe collection is painfully devoid of any closed-toe heels, and I’m okay with scooping up a few pairs that lean a bit trendier, like these block-heel, square-toe platforms.” —Stephanie Saltzman, Beauty Director
Totême Embroidered Scarf Jacket in Green, $1,010, available here (size XS-L): “I’ve had my eye on this TikTok- and street style-beloved jacket since before it started popping up all over during fashion month. I’m still drawn to this olive version, which is versatile and utilitarian (hi, built-in dose of extra warmth!) in addition to being trendy as hell.” —SS
Brunch Retro “Brunch” Cap (one size), $25, available here: “I love brunch (the meal) and also Brunch (the brand that makes super comfy slippers and this baseball cap). The simple navy-and-cream hat has become a go-to weekend accessory for me.” —SS
Jean Paul Gaultier Purple & Orange Cyber Dots Midi Dress, $460, available here (sizes XXS-XXL): “This is an iconic print by Jean Paul Gaultier that’s seeing a resurgence. The dots complement your body while making a statement wherever you go… it’s hard not to want the turtleneck and miniskirt, too.” —Andrea Bossi, Staff Writer
Lilysilk Smooth Silk Wide Leg Cropped Pants, $129, available here (sizes XS-1X): “Kindly gifted by the brand, these are the ultimate day-to-night trousers for when you want something classy and comfortable. I find myself styling them with heels or heeled boots and tucking my top in to flaunt the waistline.” —AB
Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti Small Bone Cuff, $1,400, available here: “This is one of Tiffany’s underrated pieces of jewelry. The bone cuff, whether you get the smaller one or the one that reaches halfway to your elbow, is designed to mold to the shape of your body. Celebrities like Lori Harvey and Margot Robbie have made this style look so good recently.” —AB
Christian Louboutin Iriza Half d’Orsay Pointed Toe Pump, $845, available here: “These are the most comfortable stilettos one can buy from Christian Louboutin. The iconic red soles, plus the shimmery hair-like fuzz, gives these heels a playful (but still chic) look.” —AB
Sézane x Sea New York Davia Clogs, $240, available here: “These feel like the perfect shoe for spring. The denim patchwork style would pair well with wardrobe staples, like wide-leg jeans or a brown suede skirt.” —AB
Paco Rabanne Chain Link Earrings, $195, available here: “I haven’t been able to stop wearing these drop earrings ever since the brand gifted them to me. They make me feel 10 times chicer on any given day.” —Brooke Frischer, Contributing Writer
Chopova Lowena Multicolor Waving Bear Long Sleeve T-Shirt, $67 (from $190), available here (sizes XS-XL): “Anything Chopova Lowena, you can count me in. Not only does this shirt make any outfit way more exciting, but it’s also super comfortable, breathable and it’s able to be styled in so many different ways.” —BF
The Series Granny Scarf, $64, available here: “Do you even live in NYC if you don’t have a scarf from The Series? Receiving this as a gift right before fashion week was absolutely perfect. It kept me just warm enough on these weirdly summer-y days taking place during the winter, and kept me looking super cool all at the same time.” —BF
Claire’s Pretty Pink Glitter Snap Hair Clips – 12 Pack, $3.59 (from $5.99), available here: “I love adding a touch of sparkle to my hair, especially as someone who wears it in a clip most of the time. These barrettes are the cutest way to do it.” —BF
Edie Parker Burn Bag in Patent Black Croc, $375, available here: “Yes, this bag has a retractable lighter case so you’re never without a spark. Thank you, Edie Parker, for always Getting It.” —Liza Sokol, Sr. Audience Development Manager
Maison Mihara Yasuhiro Two-tone Pointed Leather Sneakers, $578 (from $924), available here: “I have styled these sneakers in my head no fewer than 1,000 different ways (my current favorite is a split-hem moment a la this incredible Olsen outing) and I really just need them.” —LS
Nails by Mei X J.Crew Oversized Heart Ring, $39.50, available here: “I, like a lot of women my age, absolutely loved playing Pretty Pretty Princess as a kid, and this grown-up version scratches the nostalgia-loving portion of my brain.” —LS

Charles and Keith Knee-High Cowboy Boots, $109, available here: “I was gifted this chic pair of boots for NYFW, and wore it with multiple outfits throughout the week. Its color and material makes it super easy to pair with any outfit, but the square-toe finish makes it stand out and feel extra special.” —Angela Wei, Staff Writer
Ed Lee Floral Silk Print Slip Dress, $440, available here (sizes S-M): “I borrowed this piece for NYFW, and wore it several times to afterparties and fun events. It’s a cute twist on lingerie with an unique pattern and eye-catching colors.” —AW
Camila Ruffle White Victorian Blouse, $65, available here (sizes XS-XL): “I instantly fell in love with this top when I spotted it at a showroom. It’s the perfect marriage of the cottage-core aesthetic and an Alexa Chung flair, and pairs so well with a midi skirt.” —AW
