My Mom and I Agree—These "Forever Pieces" Are 100% Worth Buying

Looking to invest in one (or multiple!) timeless luxury fashion items? Maybe you just like to do your market research for whenever the time does come. While I like to think I do know a thing or two about a thing or two, you don't just have to take my word for what's worth buying right now. You can take my mom's too.

No, she's not an editor or stylist per se, but with 60-plus stylish years under her belt, a closet full of covetable gems, and fewer fashion regrets than anyone I know, she is my personal expert when it comes to all things shopping related. Unfortunately, since most of you reading this likely have not ever met or seen her, you'll just have to trust me when I tell you she's incredibly chic. Even I got schooled when I recently ran dozens of luxury new arrivals by her for the story you're reading. To see what made both my and her cut, simply keep scrolling!
