In Their Cart: 17 Essential Fashion Buys, According to Lauren Santo Domingo

"Right now, it takes a lot to get me into a heel."

"I've been running from my New England roots for quite some time, but I've recently been heavily influenced by the @lostjcrew Instagram account. I feel like these giant men's khakis are my birthright. I wear them in a men's size 28."

"Rabanne's fall 2023 collection's surrealist pieces are sure to be future collector's items."

"Khaite has created many a perfect wide-leg trouser, season after season. These in a khaki-esque shade are ideal for when I want to wear something a touch more 'uptown' than the J.Crew men's pair."

"When you're dressed up—for cocktails or black tie—and you're feeling too serious, I always add a silly bag. I especially like the ones that have dangly things like this."

"If you only splurge on one thing, make it a classic white button-down. When styled back to fast-fashion pieces, your entire outfit will look far more expensive. The fabric quality (read: lack of sheerness) and oversize-yet-still-feminine cut are key."

"Instant polish. Like a Fraxel laser."

"I love the wrong-shoe trend. I'll wear these with leather trousers."

"While I'm mostly leaning into classics for my fall wardrobe, the market editor in me can't resist a touch of trend. Enter Khaite's shearling handbag."

"We exclusively launched my facialist Iván Pol's Secret Sauce on Moda in January. An instant best seller, this is the best product to give my skin a bit of light during fashion week. I like mixing it with my tinted moisturizer for extra glow."

"I never thought I'd be craving a ballet flat… but here we are."

"Like the '90s Ralph Lauren Nordic knitwear I dreamed of in my teens, but made far cooler in an oversize silhouette by Cate Holstein. I'll wear mine with mesh flats."

"I'm treating chocolate brown like my new neutral this year, pairing it with black and navy with reckless abandon."

"From Gen Z on TikTok to moms at school pickup, everyone is embracing vintage, although it's been rebranded as #archivalfashion."

"What—you don't have this yet?"

"At some point, one has to stop looking for the perfect new pair of jeans and just admit that vintage 501s are the best. Alex will find you the perfect pair. Also, you can tailor jeans. Who knew?!"

"I can't say with certainty I'm going to embrace this trend, but it's on my radar, and I may have to give it a try."
