Happy new year everyone! I can’t believe 2024 has come and gone. I like to share this list as an easy place to find some of my most-worn and favorite wardrobe staples and 2024 was definitely all about comfort as I navigated pregnancy and postpartum. Many of these pieces have been seen on my ‘most-loved’ lists for a few years now with the addition of some new finds as well.
TOP PRODUCTS OF 2024
#1: MANGO BELTED CAMEL COAT
This has been my favorite and go-to coat for years now [I wear xs]. I just saw MANGO restocked it in this color along with black and an olive green. Note that this coat is unlined. You can check out my blog post HERE for 10 other ways I style my camel coat.
#2: QUINCE OVERSIZED CASHMERE CARDIGAN
If you’re on the hunt for a warm, oversized cardigan, I highly recommend the Quince cashmere cardigan. Not only is it soft, but it was also a lifesaver during and after my pregnancy this year since it’s nursing-friendly! A versatile and cozy staple for fall and winter. 😊
#3: JEANS
Madewell, Everlane and Levi’s continue to be go-to brands for my favorite jeans. Below are a few versatile and classic standout styles from each brand.

Levi’s Wedgie Straight Fit Jeans
#4: SAM EDELMAN LORRAINE LOAFERS
If you’re looking for classic and comfortable loafers for the office, I recommend these Lorraine loafers! I’m wearing the old style in the photo below, but I’ve linked to the newest style which are very similar. I find these loafers to be true to size.
#5: LUG SOLE BOOTS
The Sam Edelman waterproof chelsea boots are my absolute favorite and go-to for fall and winter! They’re not only stylish but also incredibly comfortable and warm. I recently wore them on a trip to Japan and walked 10k steps a day without any issues. One thing to note: they have a narrow opening, so these boots might be better suited for those with smaller ankles.
Sam Edelman Chelsea Boots
Cole Haan Chelsea Boots
The Cole Haan chelsea boots are similar to the Sam Edelman boots above, but have a wider opening. They’re comfortable, easy to put on, and best of all, they’re water-resistant. Another shorter option with a wide opening would be the Land’s End classic chelsea boots.
#6: EDITED PIECES MINI REVERSIBLE BELT
For any new followers — let me introduce you to one of my absolute favorite belts from Edited Pieces, and what makes it even more special is that my friend @jeanwang is the designer! What I love about this belt is its reversible feature—it’s like having a 2-in-1 accessory. The one I’m wearing below is the mini version, but if you prefer a bolder look, it’s also available in a thicker version, which you can check out HERE.
#7: MADEWELL GRETA BALLET FLATS
Ballet flats took the spotlight in 2024, and for good reason! They’re incredibly versatile, comfortable, and come in a variety of styles to suit anyone’s wardrobe. If you haven’t grabbed a pair yet, Madewell offers a fantastic selection of patterns and colors. You can check out a few ways I’ve styled them HERE.
#8: J.CREW STEVIE ANKLE BOOTIES
The J.Crew Stevie ankle booties have been on my top recommended and loved products for a few years now. I was happy to see that they were restocked this past year. These boots are perfect for transitioning between dressy and workwear looks, making them a versatile staple for any wardrobe [plus they have a low heel making them ideal for lots of walking/standing!].
#9: LEGGINGS
Athleta Flare Leggings
These flare leggings from Athleta are a great athleisure staple and for travel [they have pockets]! I wear an xs in the regular length. I also recommend the Salutation Stash leggings if you want a non-flare style.
Aritzia Butter Pocket Leggings
These are super soft and perfect for everyday wear.
#10: EVERLANE BOX CUT TEE
An absolute wardrobe staple I recommend having — this tee has been my most worn and go-to basic tee for the past 4+ years! It’s perfect if you are looking for a boxier/shorter cut style.
#11: ARITZIA SUPER PUFF
Out of all the different puffer coats I’ve had the chance to try over the years—this has definitely been my favorite puffer coat find [my favorite and most-worn is the super puff long]. It has a beautiful finish and it keeps you super warm (up to -22 degrees F for this original length, wearing XS) without being too puffy. I also love the many color and length options you have to choose from. The material is water + wind resistant, comes with a removable hood, and with storm cuffs to keep the cold wind out. You can check out my full review HERE.
#12: NEIWAI
The *best* everyday bras I own! These are so comfy that I even sleep in them. One size fits most — which also makes them perfect for pre/during/nursing/ and post pregnancy.
For specifics on each bra:
- NEIWAI classic spaghetti strap bra – This is ideal for lounging, casualwear, pregnancy, nursing, and postpartum
- NEIWAI fixed wavy cup – This one has slightly more support than the spaghetti but still flexible
- EBY relief bra – This is a different brand, but I love this one for a seamless full support wireless bra
#13: QUINCE CASHMERE CREW SWEATER
You can’t go wrong with the cashmere crew from Quince. They recently updated their bestseller to be even softer and thicker cashmere than their original version — and still at the unbeatable price of $50. It’s available in a variety of colors and makes a perfect wardrobe/workwear staple.
#14: QUINCE ITALIAN LEATHER TOTE BAG
If you’re searching for a minimal leather tote bag for the office, the Quince tote bag is a fantastic option. I picked it up in both black and chocolate brown this past year, and it has quickly become a favorite. The quality is exceptional, with a sleek and polished look, and it’s more budget-friendly than most designer bags—priced at just under $150!
#15: MATCHING SWEAT SETS
Matching sweat sets are the easiest pieces to put on when you’re busy [especially now with Mason]. I find the Aritzia and Varley matching sets to be the softest and elevated ones out there. The Aritzia sets are cozy, fleece-lined, and comes in a ton of colors and styles. They are also made of good quality cotton and wash well. The Varley sets are more elevated and super soft, though they are not fleece-lined. I would like to note that the Varley sets tend to run a little oversized as of lately. Check out my LTK post HERE for a recent way I’ve styled the Aritiza set.

Frank & Eileen Set
I also love this minimal set from Frank & Eileen — a slow fashion and sustainably-focused brand. This set is made from triple fleece, 100% cotton. It’s beautiful quality and will last for years to come. It’s a perfect go-to travel set or to throw on for every day lounging/errands. I also found this to be a great set that I was able to wear through most of my pregnancy and post partum as well due to the relaxed style and tie waist band. The only downside is that the pants have no pockets.
#16: ARITZIA EFFORTLESS PANTS
Earlier last year, I tried these Aritzia Effortless Pants and instantly fell in love with the classic, signature look they bring to any workwear outfit. They have become a favorite for the office, even though they are on the pricier side. Just when you think Abercrombie offers a wide variety of lengths, colors, and versions of their pants, you’ll be amazed by the amount of options that Aritzia provides. You can check out my post styling them HERE.
