20 December Must Haves Our Editors Are Totally Crazy About
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Even if you're in the midst of your holiday gift-giving and list-making, we invite you take a time out — and do a little shopping for yourself. Because as much as we live to treat our friends and family, this season, you surely deserve to treat yourself, too. That's just what our editors have in mind: a pretty jewelry pick-me-up for a festive gathering, a pair of shoes that won't pinch your feet dancing, or a luxurious, shearling coat to invest in now and live in forever. Inside, we've pulled the 20 things our editors are all about this month. Keep reading to shop them all.
These crisp white High Glove pumps from The Dreslyn ($540) look luxe and ladylike. They're also the perfect heel height.

Hello, holiday parties! I'm all about Reformation's Lana Dress ($258) which will turn heads with its velvet material and two-tone colorway.

A holiday clutch is a must — but why spend money on a kitschy one you'll never use again? I'm adding this McQ Alexander McQueen clutch ($385) in a fun new shape and in a go with anything-metallic that I can wear on repeat after the parties wrap.

When my leather jacket just doesn't feel festive enough, I'll pull on this velvety Aritzia blazer ($185) for a Holiday-outfit update.

This Joseph Knitted Panel Skirt ($661) and Patchwork Sweater ($625) set is hands down the coziest Winter combo I've ever seen. These coordinates are trending all over, but this is a no-brainer flawless option.

Romantic label For Love and Lemons debuted their first-ever swimwear collection this month. Now the sexy, bohemian suits are all I want to wear on my holiday vacation to Hawaii.

It's officially pants season (and party season) and these 3x1 Denim Cropped Jeans with Frayed Fringed Hems ($295) are the most party-worthy jeans I've spotted to date.
— Aemilia Madden, assistant editor
I’m tired of wearing studs and statement earrings, so I've recently began embracing baby hoops again — as in, the same style I rocked in the late '90s. Judith Jack's crystaled gold option ($88) is delicate, feminine, and perfect for everyday wear.
— Samantha Sutton, assistant editor
It was love at first sight when I spotted this eyelet lace and peplum jumpsuit by Self-Portrait ($460). I'm not too sure when I'd wear it — New Year's Eve, perhaps? — but like any good fashion girl, I'll find a place.

You're not ready for Winter until you've got a really, really great coat in your closet — by great, I mean something that looks amazing, but feels just as amazing. Enter Loeffler Randall's snuggly, and impossibly chic shearling coat ($1,650). It's an investment, but one you'll wear well after this one season.
— HM
Last Fashion Week, I saw a ton of women pairing a sequined Dior top with jeans, and months later, I'm still thinking about about that styling choice. Jaded London's High Neck Long Sleeve Crop Top ($117) is an affordable way to nail this trend while daring myself to stand out in the crowd.
— SS
Part housecoat, part, well, regular coat, AYR's 'The Robe' Camel Hair Maxi Coat ($585) will keep me not just warm, but comfy and cozy; now all I need is a hot cocoa to go along with it.

Rosetta Getty Knotted Fringed Belt
Instead of a standard buckle belt, I've got my eye on this Rosetta Getty knotted fringed belt ($722). It's a little boho (hello, fringe) and a great layering piece with all my bulky sweaters and coats.
— AM
I absolutely love the Balenciaga City Bag ($2,125) with the metallic edge from the label's holiday collection. The rosy shade is so perfect for every season, it's a must-have bag I'll wear for the rest of my life.

Acne Studios Jensen Leather Ankle Boots
These Acne Studios Jensen Leather Ankle Boots ($560) mean business; they're sleek and sharp and will look equally chic with jeans or a fancy party dress.
— AM
Free People's turtleneck maxi dress ($198) will act as a blanket for my body once the temps really begin to drop. A very fashionable blanket.
— SS
I've been feeling really girlie lately, and this Gold Philosophy pearl ring from Anthropologie ($138) is the perfect finishing touch to my Winter white outfits. I also love the look of differently sized gems on my finger.
— SW
December means lots of travel. This season, I'll be prepared with Chinti and Parker's cashmere travel set ($625). You'll be surprised by how luxurious your economy seat feels with the right accoutrements.
— HM
One scroll through Instagram and you'll find that many bloggers are rocking berets now. It's become increasingly obviously that this chic Gucci hat ($295) is just what my closet is missing.
