As a passionate connoisseur of pants, I know my way around wide leg pants, and these are perfect. I am already thinking of buying a second pair.

My best buy this year is the Amelia bag from Khaite. It’s a bag I’ve had in my eye since 2019, ever since I saw the divorced girl, Katie Holmes, putting it on her arm. It’s the perfect shape and size to carry all my small items to the office or twice as a travel bag. It is a timeless and elegant investment, and I plan to continue it for many years to come.

The backpack is the new everyday commute, but the four-wheeled backpack is truly the next level. It’s the perfect size, of course, but the removable suit compartment, hanger bracket, different entry point options, and featherweight all made me brainstorm long weekend trips just to have an excuse to use it again. (The built-in USB port and tracking software – should this great piece be lost or stolen – are exceptional grace notes.)
