10 Fashion Items to Buy in November

Welcome to 10 Things to Buy, a monthly shopping list that helps you shop smarter by focusing on the 10 key items to add to your cart that month if your wardrobe is in need of a boost. As a Who What Wear editor for the past 11 years, I’ve spent many hours advising people on what to shop for during any given season, so you’re in good hands. Whether you’re shopping for cold weather, warm weather, a vacation, or a wedding, I’m here to offer up the most seasonally appropriate suggestions. Be sure to return at the start of each month for more.

Like it or not, November is here, and cold weather is coming. Before the holiday shopping frenzy begins, I like to take stock of my winter wardrobe and shop for pieces I need before they sell out (which Black Friday tends to make happen). I also like to think ahead to what trips I have booked for the season and order pieces that I know will come in handy when packing for those. For the most part, winter basics are what I recommend buying in November—pieces that you’ll reach for over and over that will make every outfit they’re a part of significantly chicer.
