What's New from Chloé's Winter 2026
Chloé Winter 2026 brings lace-trimmed ready-to-wear, Paddington and Marcie bags in new leathers, tailored jackets and shearling-lined boots. I sort the new arrivals by clothing, bags, jackets and shoes.
Straw Bags: Totes, Shoulder Shapes and BTB Los Angeles Clutches
The straw bags edit is about texture with a job to do. I want a bag that looks lighter than a leather everyday carry but still holds the things I bring outside the house, and I want the shape to decide the mood rather than a pile of decoration. My rule is to choose capacity first
The Mini Purse Survived Its Own Backlash
A mini purse works because it forces an edit, which is exactly what an evening bag should do. I run the phone test, then look at how the strap decides the occasion.
Designer Crossbody Bags: ALAÏA, Louboutin and Chloé Picks
Explore designer crossbody bags for hands-free days, from ALAÏA's Le Coeur leather style to Christian Louboutin's raffia Bettina.
The Best Bag Charms
The tiny accessory doing the most this season
How to Wear Sequins: One Reflective Piece Is Enough
To wear sequins well, ration them: pick one reflective piece that gives a plain look a pulse. I look at Gucci pieces, dresses and gowns, and where one sequin piece is enough.
Semester Abroad Outfits: Light-Packing City Classics
Ready for anywhere you take your semester.
Pre Loved Bag: What to Know Before You Buy
When you buy a pre loved bag, the condition of the hardware and the corners decides most of it. I go through what to check, then the everyday carry and evening bags.
Tote Bags: The Real Cost
Tote bags are worth buying by cost per wear, and the plain, well made tote usually wins. I compare more than a hundred, starting with canvas and nylon styles.
Top Handle Bags: Leather, Structured and Boxy Shapes
A top handle bag is the ladylike buy, from the leather top handle to structured and boxy shapes. I start with Savette's Symmetry totes and pochettes.
Beach Escape Outfits: Straw, Jewelry and Soft Clothing
Beach escape outfits here are built from jewelry, straw and a couple of soft clothing pieces. I sorted the picks by price so the small things and the splurges are easy to find.
The Polène Bag, From a Paris Studio and the Workshops of Ubrique
A Polène bag is made in Ubrique, Spain, by a Paris label founded in 2016 by three siblings. I sort the shapes one by one, from the Numéro Un to the newer styles, so you can choose your first.
Chloé New Arrivals: Crocheted Tees, Silk-Blend Pants and Jewelry
Chloé new arrivals include a logo-embroidered crocheted cotton T-shirt, silk-blend wide-leg pants and a gold-tone necklace. I picked the pieces from the new season that I would reach for first.
Suede Bags: Totes, Shoulder Bags and Top Handles for Fall
Suede bags have become the default autumn accessory, from slouchy shoulder bags to totes and top handles. I go through the bags I would carry first, then the shoes that follow.
Last Minute Reservation Outfits: Resy Notifications On
Last minute reservation outfits should be ready when a Resy table opens, from a black jacket and suede pumps to mini dresses and gowns. I picked pieces that dress up fast.
Croc Bags in Style 2026: Fall's Five Bag Shapes
Croc bags are in style for fall 2026, one of five clear shapes with big carryalls, east-west styles, slouchy top handles and evening clutches. I give each shape its own section, from croc-effect leather to clutches.
YSL Purses Are Where French Tailoring Meets Hardware
YSL purses are built on hard edges, structured bases and hardware, and structure separates the range more than size does. I go through the smaller formats, from the Loulou Mini to the Gaby Micro Vanity, and the occasions each one covers.
Inside Phoebe's Closet
Phoebe's closet is mostly the dresses, bags and jewelry I wear the most, plus four outfits built around them. I start with an ivory evening look, then a cheetah print night, blue quiet luxury and forget-me-not layers.
Grandmillennial Style: Chintz, Scallops and Needlepoint
Grandmillennial style is the revival of chintz, scallops and needlepoint, worn without looking like a costume. I go through the prints that started it and how to balance detail with proportion.
Dressing in Morandi Colors
Morandi colors are dusty blue, sage, stone and taupe, the soft shades of a Giorgio Morandi still life. I would wear them together this fall in knits, skirts, trousers, bags and shoes.
Everyday and Travel Bags: Totes, Crossbodies and Beach Bags
The best everyday travel bag has a strap drop that clears a winter coat and a material that wears well. I sort totes, crossbodies, a beach bag and travel pieces by what actually decides it, with notes on what is worth the money.
Brown and Plum Outfits: Purple and Brown Pairings for Fall
A brown and plum outfit works because deep brown keeps purple from feeling too sweet and does the job black would, only warmer. I pair violet knits and silk with brown coats and trousers, then choose shoes and bags in both colors.
Best Designer Mini Bags: Cult Gaia, Leather and Embellished Picks
The best designer mini bags are small enough to change the mood of an outfit and demanding enough to punish bad packing. I see them as accessories first and storage second. Before buying, I decide whether the bag is for a phone, cards and a key, or simply for the pleasure of carr
Loewe Winter Collection: Fall/Winter Knitwear, Bags and Jackets
The Loewe winter collection is its newest Fall/Winter line of ready-to-wear, handbags, jackets and shoes, led by knitwear and bags. I sort the pieces into clothing, bags and outerwear built for actual winter.
