What to buy now: winter 2026 fashion, from the leopard coat to the red ankle boots
The leopard coat. Remember that of Carolyn Bessette and Jackie Kennedy the model of &Other Stories in synthetic fur. To “ennoble” outfits for the holidays (and beyond).
The red ankle boots. The red touch in December is a must. But a pair of fiery leather ankle boots are great all year round (Toteme).
Red leather ankle boots, Toteme.
The It Bag from the movies. The bag Peekaboo by Fendi it’s not just trendy thanks to the lively patchwork texture. It is also part of the most desired capsule of the moment, dedicated to the TV series Emily in Paris.

The wool collar. Scarf or beret? They are no longer enough. The accessory for a true It Girl in Winter 2025/2026 is the wool collar to layer over chokers and coats (Prada).

The belt that makes the look. Studded, in brown suede and instantly recognisable. The cult of Khaite in the new 2026 version it is even cooler.

Mary Janes already on sale. The Winter 2026 sales have already started on online e-commerce. The right time to focus on the shoe that will be in fashion next spring, such as the baby platform wooden heel by Chloé (on Mytheresa).
