What to buy this week

Checking out the new 18 East Winter collection, my favorite long coats right now, drops you don't want to miss, and more!

Things are slowly winding down here at SNL for the holidays, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t pump out some last recommendations before the end of the year. It’s wild to think that we only have a few more newsletters to go before we hit 2025 — I definitely have some thoughts to share, questions to ask you and possibly refresh the way I create content for the next year. More on that later, though.

Let’s get to the recommendations! Today, we’re bringing it back to basics by covering some upcoming drops you should know about, a bunch of long coat recommendations because I know a lot of you have been asking about them — some even on sale, some cool footwear for different occasions, and more!

18 EAST WINTER COLLECTION

At this point, I have to say that 18 East has to be one of my favorite brands right now. Everything they seem to make just hits me differently. I think speaking in terms of color palettes, shapes, and the overall products they put out just fit my current wardrobe rotation perfectly, so it’s a no-brainer that I would be obsessed.

Anyway, the first drop from their winter collection is already out on their site, filled with a bunch of great layers, outerwear, knitted beanies, and more — favorite piece has to be the reversible Joseph Coaches Jacket, for sure. If you’re in New York, highly recommend stopping by their store to see this one in person.

AN ITEM YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS

Some online discourse around football-inspired pieces and how people are tired of brands making them honestly needs to stop… It’s one of those items that will never go out of style, and why should they? I think they are a lot of fun, and in the neverending world of fashion, it’s fine to keep it going in my opinion. Realistically, if you don’t like it, then don’t buy it?

Anyway, Palace has an upcoming drop coming this Friday, December 13th, that will have a very cool long-sleeved football knit that you should know about. You’ve been warned.

HEAT FROM WYTHE

Fans of true luxury menswear should be well aware of Wythe by now, but let me catch you up to speed in case you’re not aware of what’s going on. I know a lot of you have been asking me for long coat recommendations and I’m here to tell you that Wythe might have one of the best options available on the market right now.

On top of that, they also have a great selection of some lighter jackets as well as an array of amazing flannels that are built well and don’t break the bank. What more could you want?

Check out their full selection on their site here, and if you’re in New York make sure you stop by their flagship store to see the stuff in person. You will not be disappointed.
