To Look Stylish This November, You Need These 10 Items.
Welcome to 10 Things to Buy, a monthly shopping guide designed to help you shop wisely by highlighting the 10 essential items to consider adding to your cart each month if your wardrobe could use a refresh. As a Who What Wear editor for the past 11 years, I've dedicated many hours to advising shoppers on seasonal purchases, so you're in capable hands. Whether you’re gearing up for colder months, warmer weather, a trip, or a wedding, I'm ready to provide you with the most relevant recommendations. Be sure to check back at the beginning of each month for more updates. November has arrived, bringing cooler temperatures with it. Before the holiday shopping rush kicks in, I prefer to assess my winter wardrobe and acquire necessary pieces before they’re sold out, especially considering the impact of Black Friday. I also consider upcoming trips I've planned for the season and order items that will be useful when packing. Generally, my November recommendations focus on winter essentials—items you can repeatedly wear that will enhance any outfit. Keep scrolling to explore my top 10 shopping selections for November 2025.
Cashmere Sweater
As we approach the holiday season, cashmere sweaters tend to sell out quickly. Don’t let your favorites get away—order them now.
- J.Crew: Perfect Cashmere Crewneck Sweater in Argyle
- Banana Republic: Midweight Cashmere Crew-Neck Sweater
- Reformation: Cashmere Boyfriend Sweater
Checked Scarf
Celebrities are all about large scarves right now, including Sabrina Carpenter. Checks are very trendy for fall and winter, so I suggest selecting a sizable checked scarf to elevate your outerwear.
- Guest in Residence: Checked Brushed Wool and Cashmere-Blend Scarf
- Polo Ralph Lauren: Plaid Twill Scarf
Oversize Coat
When it comes to winter outerwear, I'm an advocate for oversize coats. I need to be able to layer a sweater and perhaps even a blazer underneath. Now is the time to secure your new coat as the temperatures drop.
- Aritzia: The Slouch Coat Soft Wool Cashmere
- TOTEME: Shield Oversized Double-Breasted Wool-Blend Coat
Slim-Fit Jeans
To be honest, I don’t usually favor slim-fit jeans, but in the winter, they become the most polished option to pair with oversize coats and sweaters without a doubt.
- AGOLDE: Cocktail Ankle Mid-Rise Slim-Leg Jeans
- AG Jeans: Mari High-Rise Slim-Straight Jeans
- Madewell: The Pencil Jeans
Ugg Shoes
As you may know, the trendiest Ugg shoes tend to sell out by December, so do yourself a favor and add your favorite pair to your collection now.
- UGG: Ansley Genuine Shearling Trim Leather Mule
Long-Sleeve Layering Top
While layering tops may seem like a mundane afterthought, your future self will appreciate ordering a few now.
- Perfectwhitetee: Jamie Recycled Cotton Long Sleeve Crew
- COS: Merino Wool High-Neck Top
- J.Crew: Perfect-Fit Long-Sleeve Crewneck T-Shirt
Faux-Fur Jacket
The simplest way to elevate your fall and winter outfits is with a faux-fur coat. People have started wearing them already, so don’t be left behind.
- ZARA: Double-Faced Faux Fur Jacket
- Banana Republic: Faux Fur Long Coat
- Apparis: Elis Faux Fur Coat
Tights
I recently evaluated my tights collection and realized I needed to replenish it. After discarding all the snagged pairs, I'm purchasing new ones in colors I know I will frequently wear (black, chocolate brown, and gray).
- Wolford: Velvet De Luxe 50 Tights
- Swedish Stockings: Ylva Wool Tights
- Commando: Semi Opaque 35 Denier Tights
Elevated Sweats
Cozy season means it's time for new sweats. This November, I aim to prioritize styles that I can wear out for errands without looking like I just rolled out of bed.
- Polo Ralph Lauren: Crew Neck Sweatshirt
- Citizens of Humanity: Miro Sweatpants
- Éterne: Cropped Cotton-Modal Sweatshirt
Suede Heels
I wear heels frequently in the winter, and I've found that suede makes my outfits look both luxurious and refined. Now is an opportune time to seek out a new pair, as holiday events are on the horizon.

- Jeffrey Campbell: Volturi Pumps
