As Vogue editors, we often wax poetic on the latest runway must-haves, but not every item we gush about on this website ultimately ends up in our closets. Our discoveries are nice to behold—they’re lovely to look at and inspire fun conversation—however, of all the tempting things to buy, what did we actually end up purchasing? Each month we’ll highlight those special finds our editors welcomed into their lives—all the things that made us buyers rejoice.
Vogue Editors’ Picks:
The Minimalist Combo
“I’m always on the hunt for modern, minimalist-inspired pieces that have a unique edge. When I first saw these Tory Burch mesh shoes (yes, I’m still having a mesh obsession!) I knew I had to get them—they check all the boxes. I also recently got this gathered, strapless dress from St.Agni. I can’t wait to wear this with all my summer accessories.” —Cortne Bonilla, senior shopping writer
The Summer-in-the-City Uniform
“The ladies on the shopping team always have their ear to the ground with the best brands. I recently discovered this With Nothing Underneath button-down on a colleague and have coveted one of my own since. I love the blue and brown stripe! And these raffia slides are a perfect off-duty addition to my summer-in-the-city uniform.” —Chloe Malle, editor, Vogue.com
The Shell Claw Clip
“I’m usually pretty good at resisting the urge to shop sales unless it’s something I’ve really been pining for, which is precisely why I caved when I found this Sophie Buhai hair clip from my wish list marked down at Ssense. A matter of the heart but also a sensible decision—I did have to replace an old favorite that I lost.” —Talia Abbas, senior shopping editor
The Summer Wardrobe Heroes
“The Gap x Dôen collab is my personal super bowl so obviously I had to pick up almost one of everything! Last year’s collection was truly the backbone of my summer wardrobe so I had absolutely no qualms with investing in the 2025 drop.” —Florence O’Connor, associate content manager, Vogue.com
The Wedding Guest Gown
“It’s officially wedding season—which is why I bought this cornflower blue gown from Delphine, Tanya Taylor’s new fashion venture that focuses on occasion dressing. I’ll be wearing it from June through October.” —Elise Taylor, senior lifestyle writer
The Pleated Pant
“I finally bought my first pair of Issey Miyake pleated pants for summer—I’ve admired their ease and comfort for years, and finally invested in a light blue style. One week in, and I have been wearing them nonstop: They look good with everything, and feel like I’m wearing PJs. Win-win.” —Christian Allaire, senior fashion and style writer
The Elevated Silk
“My summer wardrobe has always leaned pretty casual (lots of crop tops and cotton separates) but I’m looking to elevate it. This dreamy silk dress with crochet details will do just that.” —Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director
The Platform Heel
“While I may project a tall presence, the reality is that pant hemlines are usually too long for me. The same was true for my recent Met Gala look, where I was tripping over the beaded tassels. The solution? Some Sabrina Carpenter-esque platform sandals to allow me to reach new heights (literally), without breaking my ankles. Larroudé’s Dolly platforms do the trick and they fondly remind me of Bratz doll shoes.” —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
The Comfortable Cotton Dress
“I’m expecting, so I’m dressing for two—and Merlette makes it easy. Their pieces are gloriously roomy, endlessly chic, and don’t scream ‘maternity’—even though they’re working overtime for me right now.” —Lilah Ramzi-Goettemann, editor
The Basket Bag
“I’m dreaming of a French girl summer, and this raffia bag brings me one step closer to achieving the aesthetic! It’s actually extremely practical with both long and short leather straps, and it holds much more than I expected! My trip to the French Riviera isn’t until August, but mentally, I’m already there.” —Alexandra Ditch, associate commerce producer
The Off-Duty Stapes
“It’s been an especially rainy spring in New York, and my Barbour Maia trench coat has been a staple. It somehow makes every outfit seem more intentional, even on the days I definitely don’t feel like pulling myself together. I also decided to give my workout wardrobe a little refresh and discovered Splits59, which has quickly become a new favorite activewear brand. The Raquel flared leggings are the best yoga pant I’ve tried–flattering, genuinely comfortable, and available in multiple lengths. I also picked up the Rigor bra and leggings set which make me feel like Meredith Blake.” —Sam Ravin, community manager, Vogue app
The Square-Toe Flats
“I’ve worn down my black square-toe ballerina flats from Mansur Gavriel—three pairs and counting—and just picked up a fresh pair for summer. They go with everything, and I never have to think twice.” —Sache Taylor, director, special events
The Vacation-Ready Pieces
“I’m usually a creature of habit when it comes to my everyday jewelry, but I recently picked up these huggies from Catbird and they’re such a fun addition to my ear party. I also added this Montce x Jasmine Tookes swimsuit to my collection in an attempt to manifest some warm weather, even though New York seems to have other plans.” —Taylor Lashley, manager, social media
The Sneakerina
“If you’re feeling the itch to buy the Puma Speedcats, I can confirm: they are that cute in person. You will love them. Buy the shoes!” —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty & wellness editor
The Trendy Summer Sets
“Like many of my other colleagues, the Gap x Dôen collab had an absolute chokehold on me. While I thought that the dresses would be my favorite pieces from the collection, surprisingly it was the white wide-legged trousers and the embroidered tank top. I also did some shopping for the summer this month and got some cute new bathing suits from J.Crew. The red polka dot set has to be my favorite and I can’t wait to wear it when I’m at the beach next.” —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate
The Fanciful Occasion Wear
“I kicked off May at the Superfine Met Gala in a heavenly metallic mini from Harbison and white silk Sergio Hudson suit, and needed shoes that could be both dreamy and all-night-comfy. I found a pair of never-worn Miu Miu crystal Mary Jane flats on Ebay (of course) that feel like an adult version of cute glittery flats for kids, and they fit perfectly like a Cinderella slipper! Then, I ended the month at 11th Street Cafe for breakfast with Vogue fashion alum Francisco Jr. Ovalle, whose working with Saks Off 5th now and shared all of the finest deals. This cutie Thom Browne tote fits perfectly into my eternally red-white-and-blue aesthetic!” —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
The Innovative Flat
“I’m all about a statement shoe, and these Tory Burch flats—the perfect mix between a loafer and a sandal—never fail to get people talking. I love pairing them with colorful socks or a pair of tights to add a bit of personality to whatever I’m wearing.” —Megan Rodrigues, assistant fashion editor

The Stylish Separates
“It’s transitional weather season! I love this perfect polo from All Three and this crinkled paper bag skirt to glam it up.” —Chloe Malle, editor, Vogue.com
The Vibrant Sneaker
“I definitely wasn’t in the market for sneakers but this vibrant pair from Adidas immediately caught my eye. The bold green and yellow colors scream summertime, and I can’t wait to wear them.” —Naomi Elizée, fashion market director
The Spring Refresh
“I was in desperate need of some new spring pieces to refresh my wardrobe and prepare me for the seemingly thousands of weddings I have coming up in the next few months. This mindset led me to this beautiful blue Sleeper dress (perfect for a bridal shower or rehearsal dinner) and a chic new pair of heels from Larroudé (the most comfortable heels, in my opinion). My spring cleaning also caused me to throw out all of my old T-shirts, allowing me space to finally try the beloved Buck Mason white tees—which I can confirm are worth all of the hype!” —Florence O’Connor, associate content manager, Vogue.com
The Oversized Cotton Shirt
“This Almina Concept oversized shirt is hands down the best button down I’ve ever worn—I know that seems like a hyperbole, but it lays perfectly and doesn’t wrinkle.” —Mai Morsch, fashion editor
The Elevated Summer Staples
“Pedicures at the ready, it’s finally sandal season! I’m always looking for a little bit of height at the office so these kitten heels from Toteme will be my savior. I have also never been able to find a going out top that’s still chic and feels like me, might this Carven one be the answer?!” —Libby Page, executive director, Vogue Shopping
The Trim Ribbed Cardigan
“This medium-weight cream cardigan is a new staple sweater to take me from spring into early summer. It has the perfect amount of stretch and looks just as good under a blazer as it does paired with a colorful midi skirt and flats!” —Katie Henwood, associate director, audience development
The Matching Travel Sets
“Despite always wanting to be the put-together girl at the airport in a cute matching set, I’ve typically been the one in sweats three sizes too big. I finally decided it was time to make my dream a reality and picked up two travel-friendly outfits from Leset. They’re cozy enough for a red-eye, but presentable enough to head straight to lunch after landing.” —Sam Ravin, community manager, Vogue app
The Statement Shoes
“I’m really trying to shop less but when the Adidas x Bad Bunny sneakers dropped I couldn’t help but get a pair. They’re definitely the next It sneaker of the season. On the topic of shoes, I also picked up the pierced pumps from Tory Burch. If you know me, you know that Tory Burch makes my favorite shoes—they require little to no time to break in, and come in the coolest designs.” —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate
The Seasonal Updates
“I already own the long-sleeve version of this dress in both blue and leopard print, because it’s objectively wonderful: comfortable, dressy but not too formal, and marked by a silhouette with the ideal volume of flare—perfect for twirling! I love initial jewelry and have a small (but growing) collection of L and F pendants. The newest addition to that stash is this piece, which is great for layering and everyday wear.” —Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director
The Comfy White Sneaker
“I desperately needed a new pair of white sneakers (that were actually white!), and the Howell sneakers by Tory Burch have been a dream! They were comfortable from the start, and spring is the perfect time to buy a fresh pair!” —Alexandra Ditch, associate commerce producer
The Campy Accessory
“Touched-by-an-angel is my aesthetic for spring (and perhaps, forever), so anything ethereal, sheer, and shimmery is on the table! My newest item in the genre is my Beepy Bella necklace. The pink pearls make me so happy and as a lifelong bead queen, I’m truly impressed with the quality of craftsmanship! For anyone who wants something specific, they even do custom!” —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
The Summer Uniform
“As much as I love an oversized coat, I am glad the sun is finally out and the temperatures are rising. In true summertime form, I gravitated instantly toward a big white cotton dress with a cool peplum waist and padded leather flip flops! Holy grail summer uniform unlocked.” —Cortne Bonilla, senior shopping writer
The Day-to-Night Kitten Heels
“I seem to be in a perpetual state of not having the right shoes for spring outfits, so I took action this April and made some shoe purchases. The object of my affection? The criss-cross Manolo Blahnik sandals. Whether you dress them up for a cocktail party or elevate your jeans-and-a-white-tee at the office look, these shoes are neutral enough to go with any outfit and chic enough to be appropriate for every setting.” —Lucy Dolan-Zalaznick, creative development senior associate
In case you missed it, see what Vogue editors purchased in March.
The Fashion-Forward Tee
“With spring in full swing (or at least trying to be in New York!) I am investing in pieces that feel transitional, that will pull me out of my knitwear. A fashion T-shirt is a must. It’s structured and interesting enough to wear to work, but still relaxed. I love the neck details on this Lemaire style.” —Libby Page, executive director, Vogue Shopping
The Transitional Sweater
“For more relaxed days, a perfect Sesame Street stripe can take you from spring through summer.” —Chloe Malle, editor, Vogue.com
The Handwoven Bag
“Madewell has honestly been one of my favorite places to shop from these days and I can’t speak highly enough of their accessories. My latest fashion favorite from them is this leather handwoven bag that has a magnetic closure and is the perfect size to fit all of my everyday essentials. I’ve used this bag for the office, to go out with, and for everything in between. I think my next investment might be the bigger tote bag—it’ll be perfect for the summer.” —Irene Kim, production and editorial associate
The Oversized Button-Up
“When I saw Gap was having a sale I jumped at the chance to stock up on my favorite oversized button-up. I know that I love the fit, so I decided to step outside of my comfort zone and get the red and pink stripe. It’s a bit louder than my usual black, white, and blue palette—but hey, it was on sale!” —Hannah Jackson, fashion writer
The Silky Dresses
“I’m having a real freshwater pearl moment so this Sable organza mini is perfect over the cream silk Celine pants I’ve had since Phoebe’s era that are just a little too see-through. I am back on my Azeeza silk dress kick for spring, and I’ve already found that when I wear this silky lace-trimmed Aubrey dress on a sunny day there’s some kind of reaction that happens: People actually move out of my way on the streets of New York!” —Arden Fanning Andrews, beauty editor at large
The Feminine Ballet Flat
“I’m now on my second pair of Sarah Flint’s Sacchetto ballet flats—this time in the soft Petal shade. They’re perfect for spring: feminine, versatile, and sublimely comfortable. As a lifelong ballet lover, I’m especially taken with the elegantly balletic silhouette—it’s as if they pirouetted straight out of a rehearsal at the Palais Garnier.” —Lilah Ramzi-Goettemann, editor
The Sweat-Proof Yoga Set
“As a 3-4x time a week hot yoga go-er, I’ve worked through all the yoga brands and landed on Beyond Yoga as my end-all-be-all for yoga clothes. The materials are soft, lightweight, and form-fitting without being restrictive, they easily conform to my body in all the twists and turns of class, and the tops never ride up and the bottoms never slip down. And, importantly for the 100+ degree rooms, the fabric doesn’t darken when I sweat. When I saw this set on sale at my Corepower location, I had to snag.” —Lucy Dolan-Zalaznick, creative development senior associate
The Summer-Ready Jewels
“This month, I checked out the Normal Market happening at the old Barneys downtown. Among the plethora of epic vintage dealers, there were also many small independent brands. I left with three fabulous shell pieces—a belt from Kat Zarra and a few charming pendants from Odissea—and a dainty silver chain bracelet from Remeinz. Consider me ready for summer.” —Madeline Fass, senior shopping market editor
The Trendy Accessories
“March was warmer than usual this year so while I originally picked up this suede Source Unknown blazer to wear as a layering piece, it turned out to be the perfect lightweight jacket for the early spring weather. I also hopped on the oval sunglasses trend with these Jimmy Fairly shades.” —Taylor Lashley, manager, social media
The Leopard-Print Flat
“I needed some transitional-season footwear and these leopard-print Vibi Venezia flats were just the thing. They’re extremely comfortable and extremely easy to style: pair them with a white button down and jeans and you’ve got yourself an outfit.” —Elise Taylor, senior lifestyle writer
The Wardrobe Staples
“I’m keeping it simple this month by adding essentials to my wardrobe (both clothing and jewelry). Afterall, what don’t a classic black T-shirt and chunky gold hoops go with? These are evergreen choices in my closet.” —Concetta Ciarlo, beauty commerce writer
The Vintage Minidress
“I could not believe my luck at The Vintage Market that Vogue hosted this month! I scored this gorgeous Valentino number from the Fall 2013 Ready-to Wear-collection, with proceeds supporting those impacted by the recent Los Angeles fires. There is one available on 1st Dibs that I hope gets scooped up by someone who would be as excited to wear it as I am… It’s also not too late to shop Vogue-approved vintage from the digital storefront.” —Alexandra Ditch, associate commerce producer
The Woven Flat
“While I love a good neutral and minimalist design, I like to make sure my wardrobe stays interesting and unique by adding emerging brands, cool textures, and modern silhouettes. I found that in these crochet flats, which I cannot wait to style this spring and summer. ” —Cortne Bonilla, senior shopping writer
The U-Neck Sweater
“I’m clinging to winter and bought this U-neck sweater—four, actually. Never mind that it was 80 degrees yesterday.” —Sache Taylor, director, special events
The Spring-Ready Tops
“I went to Mexico in early March for a quick winter sun getaway, and desperately needed a couple of tops suited for 90 degrees, full sun, and lots of humidity. I spotted this fun Faithfull number, and immediately began envisioning all of the styling possibilities. Plus, it was (and still is!) on sale, so it was a no-brainer for me. Once I returned, I knew that sadly New York was still easing its way to a true ‘spring,’ so I found a lightweight, transitional knit in an icy blue hue that I can’t enough of. It’s just enough of a subtle pop of color when paired with leather skirts, white denim, and poplin pants.” —Clarissa Schmidt, marketing & production manager
The Reliable Basics
“It was time to put my chaotic routine of carrying three overstuffed, spilling tote bags to rest—I finally invested in a solid travel bag. This Dagne Dover weekender comes in so many colors, is just the right size, and the flexible neoprene can stretch to carry-on dimensions or (hopefully) squish down to fit as a personal item. I have yet to test this theory, so stay tuned.
I also picked up some reliable basics from Banana Republic to get me through this tricky transitional season. They’ve already become staples in my comfy office wear rotation—polished enough for work but effortless enough to throw on without thinking.” —Sam Ravin, community manager, Vogue app
The Warm-Weather Outfit
“With spring around the corner, I decided it was time to revamp my go-to “jeans and a nice top” outfit so I invested in this beautiful blouse from SIR and finally gave in to the ‘micro mini shorts’ trend with this pair from Aritzia.” —Florence O’Connor, associate content manager, Vogue.com
The Poplin Shirt
“My wardrobe is ready for warmer days! This oversized button up is a perfect transition piece from spring to summer—I went down 2 sizes for the perfect fit.” —Katie Henwood, associate director, audience development
