Before the holidays shift all of your shopping priorities, it's best to capitalize on November's new arrivals to gift yourself with something special. Consider this an early present — a new month of our editors' must haves, stocked with seasonal finds as covetable as they are practical. From a luxe new cardigan to everyday booties and even a tee perfectly timed for the election, we've thought through it all, sifted through the best new arrivals, and delivered a list to inspire your shopping — and maybe an early gift list — all month. Read on to shop our editors' picks.
"I'm completely obsessed with this cool way to show I'm with her. Let everyone know you're a 'nasty woman' just in time for election day with the perfect tee ($30)." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion
"The Rebecca Minkoff Brutus Biker Coat ($698) isn't your typical leather jacket. Instead, it's got added texture and major slouch for a look with personality. Being that it's a bit oversize, it'll also be perfect for layering this season." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
"Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, and holiday festivities call for some extra sparkle, so I plan on taking my looks to the next level with the help of BaubleBar's bold — and definitely blogger-worthy! — Morgause Bib ($68)." — Samantha Sutton, assistant editor, Fashion
"The wooden block heel and cognac suede color of these Ceri Hoover Gabriella Pumps ($295) makes them timeless. I can see them jazzing up a casual party look, but I know I'll wear them into Spring, too, with paisley-print maxi dresses." — SW
"Delicate and playful, I love Reformation's Embroidered Silk Shirt ($168). Because they're limited-edition pieces, there's really no time to think; I'm buying one right now before they sell out." — Marina Liao, assistant editor, Fashion
"You'll be wearing this Tibi Slip Dress ($425) so many different ways — with sweatshirts and sweaters layered under and over; with tights and booties; or bare legs and heels to dress it up — it will surely become the hardest-working dress in your closet." — HWM
"My mom taught me tons of cold-weather style lessons I still follow today, such as never going outside without a scarf. This year, I'll be bundling up with Tory Burch's Fret Whipstitch Blanket Scarf ($350), which I'm planning on pairing with my trustiest leather jacket." — SS
"Just watch how these sleek white Everlane Loafers ($160) perk up your outfits on even the dreariest Winter days." — HWM
"Ruffles, frills, feminine details — I'm honestly loving it all. And while I know Ann Taylor's Pleated Blouse ($90) will be as versatile as any white shirt, that bib detail makes it seem all the more special." — SS
"There are a handful of items that can quickly elevate a simple outfit, and a structured vest happens to be one of them. Once I add Theory's Tremayah DF New Divide Long Vest ($625) to my wardrobe, expect to see me wear it way too often, especially on cold, lazy days." — SS
"Part track pant, part sleek trouser, these Zara pants ($99) will quickly replace the jeans in your closet. I plan to wear them with my sneakers and my favorite camel coat for a new update on Fall casualwear." — HWM
"It's not often that I get excited over cardigans, but when I do, they look like this playful loop sweater from J.Crew ($298). As demonstrated by the model, it can even take a simple striped shirt and jeans combo and turn it super trendy." — SS
"There's something about this sleek Acne shopper ($1,800) that makes me think of a present. OK, it's pretty obvious, right? The bow adornment feels fresh and modern, and right ahead of gift-giving season, I think this is the perfect fashion accessory to gift myself with." — SW
"What's November for if not counting your blessings and surrounding yourself with family? I want to keep mine close to my heart this month by stringing their names around my neck. Thanks to this personalized Lola James chain ($180-$960), that's totally possible." — SW
"Net-a-Porter's collaboration with Lingua Franca delivered these adorably clever sweaters ($360) embroidered with '90s hip-hop lyrics. You'll want the whole collection." — HWM
"After seeing the Gigi Hadid x Stuart Weitzman Collection, I knew I wanted a pair of the Gigi Boot in Copper ($565). The metallic shine, lace-up details, and pointy toe make for a cool Fall bootie. And if you need another reason to buy them: Gigi designed them!" — ML
"I love to pair a lacy bralette underneath a knit sweater because bras with underwires are not my friends. I have my eyes set on this cream-colored La Perla piece ($124), which is a perfect mix of elegance and sultry." — ML
"Nothing can go wrong in my day if I have a pair of these black pants ($49). The fun hem reminds me of the woman in a red dress emoji and I would wear these pants on a date or to a holiday office party in a heartbeat." — ML
"Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of hats because they don't look good on me. I still love to try them on, however, hoping one will finally fit. I think The Group by Babaton's Gray Snapback ($40) will be the solution to my hat problems." — ML
"Once I slip my feet into these Steve Madden Lace-Up Boots ($150), they're not coming off. From the delicate ribbon to the velvet material, these are the epitome of luxury at a low cost." — SW
"An upcoming holiday party is the perfect reason to accessorize with this year’s hottest metal: rose gold. This season, I’m topping off my festive looks with the Kendra Scott Elaina Rose Gold Bracelet ($50). It’s the perfect blend of trendy and classy, especially thanks to its glossy pearl accent." — Aimee Simeon, editorial assistant, Social
