What InStyle Fashion Editors Are Window Shopping This November

Sure, capsule wardrobes have their appeal, and cost-per-wear metrics remain vital math, but there’s a place for fantasy and imagination in fashion, too—no matter your budget. With Window Shopping, InStyle editors curate the most show-stopping, fantastical items in the market that live rent-free in our hearts and minds. Because everyone deserves a little luxury.

Polo Ralph Lauren Yankees Jacket

“Ever since they made it into the World Series, the iconic Yankees logo has been all over my Instagram feed. Sure, they lost, but who cares when this beautiful navy jacket exists? I’m in love with its dual-striped collar and hem, as well as the logo on the back, but honestly, the entire Polo Ralph Lauren Yankees collab is a home run. It’s sports merch that will surely stand the test of time.” -Frances Solá-Santiago, fashion editor

Pandora Lab-grown Diamond Tennis Bracelet

“A tennis bracelet is a Closet Classic Hall of Famer: It’s a piece that will never go out of style, can be worn daily, and truly goes with any outfit. While the price tag of this lab-grown diamond bracelet definitely puts it in the investment category, I love-love (yes, that’s a tennis pun!) the cost-per-wear on this super sparkler, considering it will last for years–and generations–to come.” -Sally Holmes, editor-in-chief

Tanner Fletcher Edith Jacket

“During the holiday season, I love to treat myself to something truly unique. That’s why a bespoke evening jacket like this one is on my watch list. It’s the perfect piece for those looking to have their individuality shine.” – Kevin Huynh, fashion director

Simone Rocha Corset Coat

“It was love at first sight with this Simone Rocha creation. The lace-up details, the satin jacquard, the elegant darting—it’s everything I love and more. Though ballerina pink and corsetry are having a moment right now, this coat embodies what I consider worth a lifelong investment: It’s an unforgettable, well-made piece so unique it orbits above the fashion trend cycle.” – Madeline Hirsch, fashion features director

Chloé Maxime Wedge Sandals

“The writing was on the wall last March when Chemena Kamali presented her first collection for Chloé. The entire front row, from Sienna Miller to Pat Cleveland, wore sling-back platform wedges, thus signaling the boho staple’s return. Now, the shoes are in stock—and available with carved scribbles on the heel, a detail I find irresistible. Can’t you just picture yourself wearing a ruffled dress and these platforms for dinner out during your tropical holiday getaway? Ugh, a girl can dream!” – F.S.S.

Jean Paul Gaultier Red Tartan Kilt

“Recently, I’ve developed a taste for tartan. Maybe I’m finally working through my Catholic grade school uniform trauma (or just embracing my inner Windsor), but there’s nothing more delicious to me than this Jean Paul Gaultier skirt. Now, this is a psychedelic spin on plaid that I can get behind. Here’s to kilt-ing my next holiday party.” – M.H.

Tory Burch Lace Shirt Dress

“Do I need another black lace shirt dress? No. Do I want another (specifically this perfectly-perfect) black lace shirt dress? Very yes. The black peekaboo style lace dress is as classic as it gets, but the addition of the white collar and cuffs makes you do a double take in the best way. The more time I spend watching this little belted number walk across my screen, the less convincing I need: This is not only a smart buy, but also exactly what my closet is lacking.” – S.H.

Church’s Kingsley Polished Binder Loafer

“These polished leather tassel loafers are currently on my wishlist because they’re equally perfect for the ol’ morning commute or an evening cocktail party. It’s challenging to find the right balance of practicality and style, but Church’s absolutely nailed it.” – K.H.

Givenchy Mini Antigona Bag

“The Antigona bag has been on my wishlist since I was a teenager. It’s a Givenchy classic that was incredibly popular in the 2010s and never left my heart. This fall’s 2024 model comes in a mini crossbody version that’s a slight update from its previous tote bag iteration. And with the color of the season being the ultra-luxe (and oh-so-yummy!) chocolate brown, why not indulge in a little treat?” – F.S.S.

Brunello Cucinelli Sartorial Sunset Acetate Sunglasses

“Okay, I’ll admit it: I have terrible anxiety at fashion events. For me, sunglasses with a colored lens give me the confidence to make eye contact with strangers—and they’re also see-through enough to get away with wearing sunnies indoors. This pair has the ideal amount of tint and a casual frame shape for everyday wear.” – K.H.

Prada Mini Icon Re-Nylon Bag Charm

“I know no one needs a mini-bag charm, but it’s impossible not to want one. Personally, there’s nothing I desire more than to bask in the purse-for-your-purse delight of hitting the add to cart button on this Prada trinket. Bring back silliness! Celebrate nonsense! Buy your bag its own bag this holiday season, and never look back.” – M.H.

Hermès Metallique Scarf

“Once there’s even the slightest chill in the air, I reach for my favorite Hermès scarf. It works double time, providing warmth while making a stylish statement, and this one really over-delivers on style.” – K.H.

Fendi Show Boots

“These boots are giving indie sleaze in the best way. Maybe it’s that they’ll look even cooler with a little wear and tear, or perhaps it’s just the artful slouch, but either way, I’ve found the dream shoe for all my Kate Moss does Camden fashion fantasies.” – M.H.

Celine Triomphe Metal Sunglasses

“I have not been able to stop thinking about these sunglasses ever since we shot them for our Reader’s Choice Beauty Awards last month. The metal gold frame and slightly cat-eye shape give them a ’70s vibe that’s so Celine.” – F.S.S.
