    Most Coveted is a shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.

    When the holiday party invites start rolling in and you're figuring out what to wear, let this shopping roundup be your guide. From glitzy outfits to casual dinner looks, the new-in pieces I've found will fit a myriad of dress codes this season. For Friendsgiving (when you really want to be wearing PJs) the Line Dot sweater, Banana Republic coated denim jeans, and adidas Sambas below are comfortable, yet stylish options. For your company holiday party, I recommend the Banana Republic tuxedo set—it's professional, chic, and fun.

    For good measure, I also threw in a few beauty favorites to help you pull together easy and elegant hair and makeup looks. This time of year brings so many reasons to dress up, so prepare accordingly and shop my favorite arrivals below.
