At Vogue, we’ve spent a lot of time recently thinking about our fall winter wardrobes. Maybe it’s because we’re presently all working from home and not going anywhere too special, but we find ourselves daydreaming about fun accessories and pretty dresses.
When Vogue, Amazon, and the CFDA announced the new Common Threads store on Amazon in May, that meant that suddenly some of our favorite American designers were available just two taps away—how tempting. 4 designers were recently added to the store: Claudia Li, Public School, Cynthia Rowley, and Aliétte. So, naturally, 21 Vogue editors combed through the new store and chose their favorite picks. It doesn’t hurt that many editors have seen these brands grow and have worked with the designers before, making the shopping trip a bit more personal. From cozy hoodies to statement handbags, elegant evening wear to Zoom-appropriate pajamas, there’s something for everyone and more than enough to satiate our daydreams. However, the store is closing at the end of September, so it’s our last chance to shop our favorites. Ahead, 21 Vogue editors share their top picks from the Amazon store.
Virginia Smith, Fashion Director
I’m committed to being outside as much as possible while the weather still holds up so this Aliétte hoodie is perfect for chilly outdoor dinners.
Alexandra Michler, Director, Fashion Initiatives
I love the clean lines of this ivory wrap top by Aliétte. It is an elegant update for dressier occasions—perfect for a Zoom cocktail party.
Rachel Besser, Market Editor
Classic cable knits are having a cool comeback this fall and I find myself gravitating towards these chunky knits instead of my sleek cashmere sweaters which are usually my go-tos come fall. This oversized option by Claudia Li feels minimalist and classic while giving some added texture to my fall wardrobe staples, like trousers and boots.
Steff Yotka, Fashion News Editor
I understand that there is really no place to go, but I’d still like to have this Claudia Li bag for dog walks and just shuffling from room to room in my apartment.
Julie Tong, Commerce Editor
You can never go wrong with a classic white sneaker and if there’s one pair that will give me the refresh I’m looking for this fall, it’s a pair by Public School. Designed by the hippest duo in NYC, I know these kicks will serve me well for years to come.
Willow Lindley, Accessories Director
I think I speak for a lot of us when I say that I’m living in pajamas – and these are even Zoom appropriate!
Alexis Bennett, Commerce Writer
I have dreamt of owning something from Jason Rembert’s Aliétte collection ever since I attended the label s first runway show a year ago. Seeing celebs like Kelly Rowland, Joan Smalls, and Regina King own red carpets in the brand’s jaw-dropping designs, which include sequins, cutouts, and sharp silhouettes, made me fall in love with the label even more.
I’m adding this dreamy hoodie from the Resort collection to my cart ASAP. It’s exactly what I’ll need to stay warm and cozy this fall. And that dreamy print will keep me looking cute during Zoom meetings.
Akili King, Beauty Assistant
I’m trying to incorporate brighter colors into my wardrobe. This romper is super cute and chic. Great for wearing at home during Zoom meetings, or can be dressed up in the spring and summer months. I feel like it’s a classic, staple piece. And the color is just a burst of joy!
Madeline Fass, Market Editor
I don’t wear dresses often, but when I do, fall is my favorite season to do so. Although a feminine sundress doesn’t really resonate with my wardrobe, twhis neutral yet thoughtfully-detailed t-shirt dress from Colovos is right up my alley. Plus this dress would be the ultimate pairing for showcasing my knee-high boots this fall.
Daisy Shaw-Ellis, Jewelry Director
I’m leaning into a wide-brim hat and a breezy cover up for any time I can get to a beach. This Gigi Burris hat has great long ribbons to tie together so that I don’t have to worry about it flying away in the breeze, and I love this LemLem linen caftan that can work for any warm getaway for years to come.

I love a romantic pastel frock for high summer, and this blushing ruched beauty from Anna Sui is calling my name. Of course, I’ll need a dainty floral face covering to match—Bonnie Young’s mask collab with Youkyung Woo looks like just the ticket!
Nicole Phelps, Director, Vogue Runway
Tommy Ton, the creative director of Deveaux, and I go back at least 12 years, when he started shooting street style for Style.com. He once told me, “everybody loves beautiful models, but it’s when there’s a personality behind it, that’s when the look comes to life.” He brings that appreciation for unstudied, unmanufactured style to his work at Deveaux. That’s what I like about this easy ribbed knit dress: its simplicity is what gives it its elegance.

I live in wide leg pants, even in the dead of summer. I find they stay as breezy as a long dress. These Colovos pants are slouchier than my designated “work pants” making them great for an al fresco dinner or a picnic.
Brooke Bobb, Senior Fashion News Writer
After months of wearing nothing but my sweats and leggings, I am craving summer dresses now more than ever. Specifically, I’ve been gravitating towards easy white frocks, like this tie front dress from Colovos, as well as printed pieces a la Cushnie’s long sleeved leopard mini.
Rickie De Sole, Executive Fashion Director
My summer wardrobe is full of loose, easy pieces - nothing too tight or clingy! This billowy blouse is perfectly paired with jeans for summer nights outdoors.
Lilah Ramzi, Features Editor
This Rebecca De Ravenel dress is as dramatic as it is darling. The sleeves give it a medieval goddess vibe while the cheery pink linen makes it perfect for summer—even if that summer is spent at home. I also love this Gigi Burris barrette, a bow in the hair just makes everything a bit better.
Mai Morsch, Associate Market Editor
I am very much looking forward to the days I can take my lounging outdoors and trade sweatpants and slippers for swimsuits and sandals. I love the idea of mixing the feminine suit from Morgan Lane with the tougher 3.1 Phillip Lim platforms - even if I am the only one to see the result.
Chioma Nnadi, Fashion News Director
Like practically everyone else, I’ve been living in sweatpants for the past two months. Lately though, I’ve been in the mood for something more structured in anticipation of warmer, sunnier days. Phillip Lim’s skirt really feel like summer to me: breezy, white, and hits right at the ankle.
Naomi Elizée, Associate Market Editor
I’m quarantined in South Florida and I did not bring any warm-weather clothes with (big mistake, I know!) To beat the Florida heat, I am eyeing this lightweight bralette from Victor Glemaud to wear around the house and the occasional grocery run.
Like so many others, I have been living in my cozy socks and house slippers these past few months and I’m desperate for a change without sacrificing comfort. These gingham flats from Chloe Gosselin are the perfect pair to transition into for summer.
Elise Taylor, Living Writer
The perfect warm-weather top to pair with linen pants or a white jean. Wear it during an al fresco dinner, or hey, to your next meeting. You don’t need an occasion to make a statement.
Emily Farra, Senior Fashion News Writer
I have a few pairs of Brock Collection’s signature Wright jeans, but they’re so good that I’m eyeing this dark-wash pair, too. They’re quite literally the perfect jeans, at least to me. Mid-rise, straight leg, non-stretch, zero distressing—I always come back to them. (Also: They run a bit small, so size up!)
