As a Shopping Editor with discerning taste, here are 15 exceptionally stylish items on my wish list for 2026.
Each year, alongside my admittedly ambitious list of New Year's resolutions, I create an equally optimistic fashion wish list for the year to come. Writing it down has become a sort of ritual; part planning, part manifestation. After all, having it on paper makes it feel a bit closer to becoming real, and for 2026, I've decided to aim high in my fashion aspirations.
Once I began, the list quickly developed into something of its own. My luxury bag wish list includes The Row’s Marlo—an understated counterpart to the much-adored Margaux—and Gucci’s latest standout style, the Giglio. My footwear wish list is just as refined; Aeyde’s elegant ballet flats and Saint Laurent’s impeccably polished loafers are definitely on my radar. For outerwear and denim, Rohe’s now-viral Mandarin jacket and Agolde’s best-selling jeans (tailored so well they feel nearly bespoke) both secured their spots on my list.
Consider this my meticulously curated 2026 fashion editor wish list—the items I plan to save for, contemplate, and hopefully include in my wardrobe. Scroll down to check out the pieces I'm eyeing for the upcoming year.
