Once a week, we ask our editors to share the items they've been loving or lusting after—whether it's a new skincare product we're dying to try or a travel essential we can't live without. Consider "The Weekly Covet" your editor-approved wish list for beauty, travel, fashion, and everything in between.
Vineyard Vines
vineyardvines.com
$108.00
"These Vineyard Vines pants have been my must have for summer travel: they're super comfy, you don't have to stress about wrinkles, and they look effortlessly put-together whether you're pairing them with a button-down and blazer or a simple tee."—Lauren Hubbard, Contributor
Seabags
seabags.com
$150.00
“Look, you don’t carry just any bag to a clam bake. These New England favorites are made from sail cloth, which makes them super durable and easy to clean. They’re big enough to double as a picnic basket and, well, this one soothes my Maine-loving heart.”—Elizabeth Angell, Digital Director
Cult Gaia
nordstrom.com
$325.00
"Summer may be ending soon, but a stylish white sandal is a classic wardrobe essential. It’s sure to look good next time the weather heats up, and the time after that. (Plus, there’s always the chance that you’ll take a trip somewhere warm)."—Chloe Foussianes, News Writer
Amour Vert
amourvert.com
$58.00
"Growing up in San Francisco, my aesthetic leans far more Birkenstock than Jack Rodgers (though let it be known I own both), but I’ve always kept a Breton stripe shirt in heavy rotation. My ideal Breton is a crisp white and navy with a boat neckline—you can never have too many!"—Olivia Martin, Style & Interiors Writer
Birdies
nordstrom.com
$95.00
"I love how Birdies is reinventing the old-school smoking slipper. (Plus, it doesn’t hurt that the Duchess of Sussex is a big fan.) This fall, I plan to live in the brand’s super comfy and super chic Starling style."—Caroline Hallemann, Senior News Editor
L.L.Bean
llbean.com
$139.00
"As hot as it is now, fall is less than two months away, and a pair of Bean Boots is an important aspect of the leaf-peeping uniform. Also, fun fact: the boots were designed by "L.L." himself in 1912."—Sam Dangremond, Contributor
Jack Rogers
jackrogersusa.com
$89.00
"I came around to the Jack Rogers trend later in life, and now I'm completely hooked. I wear one of two pairs just about everywhere in the summer months—and I honestly can't remember what I wore before them!"—Maggie Maloney, Associate Digital Editor
Ron Dorff
farfetch.com
$139.00
"The swimsuit entry in the The Official Preppy Handbook escapes me, but presumably Lisa Birnbach would advise gents to keep their swim trunks Nantucket-appropriate. These sensible and stylish striped shorts from the new label Ron Dorff do just the trick.""—Erik Maza, Style Features Director
Sperry x Rowing Blazers
rowingblazers.com
$120.00
“The collaboration between Sperry & Rowing Blazers is a match made in heaven. These shoes strike the perfect balance between prep, style, and comfort. They will soon become an essential in your regatta wardrobe.”—Craig Montague, Fashion Assistant

Rag & Bone
"In the wrong hands, preppy style can be cheesy. Leave it to rag & bone to inject a dose of New York cool into that wardrobe staple—chinos! You can still wear these to the Racquet & Tennis Club and no one will be the wiser that its brand name is best known for superlative denim."
