What BAZAAR Editors Are Shopping This Labor Day

“I’m always on the lookout for a purse I can wear during the day without having to swap before heading out at night. The boho chic Penelope is the perfect size for holding the essentials—my phone, wallet, keys, and touch-up toiletries—without getting in the way of incoming foot traffic at the Prospect Park zoo or while standing at a crowded bar.” —Michella Oré, fashion commerce editor

“As I think about the transitional summer to fall season, I love the idea of incorporating a chic tailored short into my wardrobe and styling it with a white tee, blazer, and kitten heels for the office.”—Julie Tong, senior commerce content lead

“I’m a sucker for good knits and this cable knit polo from Dôen immediately caught my eye. The deep camel shade adds a nice pop of color while the slouchy, oversized fit feels polished yet relaxed. Exactly how I like it.” —Oré

“I love my layers but I’m not exactly rushing to bundle up in a puffer coat right now. It’s still summer after all! A.P.C.’s quilted Aurore jacket is a happy medium—the slim-cut doesn’t look out of place with my some of my more lightweight pieces but will keep the shivers at bay when the sun goes down.” —Oré

“Labor Day gives me some much needed time to think about home furnishings. I am into a mossy green, well, anything, right now and I think this rug looks more than its price tag and understated in a great way.”— Lynette Nylander, executive digital director

“I love slim fitted tops like Veronica’s Oya, which features delicate ruching along the center. They’re perfect for occasions where a t-shirt would feel too casual but an Oxford shirt runs the risk of me arriving overdressed.” —Oré

“To me, a denim maxi skirt is the quintessential transitional layering piece. The relaxed silhouette pairs nicely with a loose long-sleeve t-shirt but also looks smart with a crisp button-up layered under a snug blazer. Citizens of Humanity’s Mina skirt features a subtle whisker detailing that adds a nice layer of dimension.”— Oré

“I’m on the hunt for a new tote bag for the office that’s big enough to hold my laptop, travel makeup bag, and other random items that inevitably will get tossed in throughout the week. This stylish crocheted option from Tory Burch definitely fits the bill, and can easily double as an end-of-summer staple for weekends, too.”—Tiffany Dodson, associate beauty commerce editor

“I’m partial to a classic black boot towards the latter half of the year and Toteme’s glossy thigh-high version has fall written all over them. Best part: I don’t have to wait until September and can get some wear out of them now, pairing with a drop-waist sundress or a simple white t-shirt and denim jorts.”—Oré

“The internet’s favorite bra hardly needs an introduction. Who doesn’t love a buttery soft fabric and a smoothing silhouette that makes you forget you’re even wearing a bra?”—Oré

“Curve hugging pants I can wear to the studio or while completing weekly errands? Sold.”—Oré

“Ballet flats are a staple for a reason—the dainty silhouette can quickly elevate the most basic outfit and is, importantly, comfortable enough to wear all day long. These glossy Aeyde flats feature a slim bow and low heel I think will transition nicely with the sea of maroon, emerald, charcoal and black that’ll soon take over my wardrobe.”—Oré

“I’m always on the hunt for a chic work tote that is comfortable and lightweight to stow all of my essentials. This striped canvas version from Toteme fits the bill perfectly.”—Tong

“I haven’t been big on the mesh flat trend but this silky shift dress is a perfect entry point that I think will extend well into the fall. I’d wear it now with a pair of metallic ballet flats then later under a cashmere knit when the evening air calls for a little more coverage.”—Oré

“Now that I’ve said my goodbyes to the white denim I’ve miraculously managed to keep clean over the last two months it’s time to transition into a pair of perfectly faded blue jeans that will look just as good with a pair of slingback heels as they do with low top sneakers.”—Oré
