A Touch of Southern Grace

I’m really into the whole white skirt thing for fall and winter this year. I really love the fact that this skirt has a quilted detail to give it a more season appropriate look

Two// Sarah Flint Mirjana Loafer in Olive Suede

I feel like Sarah Flint is just the queen of fall shoe designs and color schemes. These olive Suede loafer with topped with one of her signature bow details is just fall perfection. Side note: the quality of her shoes are amazing; some of mine are at least five years old and still look like new. 100% work the investment.

Three// Stubbs and Wootton Accoutrement Sage Velvet Slippers

Stubbs and Wootton shoes are just so timeless and so classic. The bow and crown detail on this pair have a strong hold on my heart.

Four// GAP Cotton Oversized Sweater

I have seen this sweater all over Instagram. Oversized sweaters are a fall staple of mine and I just really love the cut of this one and the fact that it is made of a lighter material for those early fall days.

Five// Herringbone Cawley Blazer

Is it even fall if you don’t wear a blazer at some point? This blazer is perfection. Herringbone print, flattering pockets, and slimming fit. Honestly, sent from blazer heaven.

Six// Sezane Gabriello Coat

There are no words to properly describe my feelings towards this coat. It is so chic and just so perfect. Swooning…

Seven// Veronica Beard Valentina Shearling Sneakers

I am that person that will wear a sweatshirt in the middle of summer. I am always slightly cold, so shearling sneakers are strongly appealing to me.

Eight// Sezane Seraphine Scarf

I purchased this exact scarf in the light blue and white houndstooth a couple years ago, and it is still my most favorite scarf I own

Nine// Hill House Hime The Blythe Dress in Metallic Brocade

For the past few holiday seasons Hill House has done this style of dress in various colors and prints, and I have to say, this year’s print is by far my favorite. I will say the only downside about this dress is that it is on the short side, so unless you are in high school or your 20s (aka an age you can get away with it), you will probably need to pair this dress with tights

Ten// Damson Madder Antonella Cotton Pajama Set

Over the past year I have become such a fan of some Damson Madder pieces, pajamas being one of them. The color combo of these and the bow ties just make these so perfect for the holidays 

Eleven// Ignore Oriente Italiano Rubrum Cuoio Rosso Candle

I have a candle obsession and Ignore has just taken it to a new level. These candles are just stunning

Twelve// Merry & Chic

I love this book. Decorating inspiration, cocktail recipes, and recipes from famous women. This is a book worth falling in love with 

Thirteen// Hill House Home Cleo Headband

This headband has Blair Waldorf written all over it (iykyk). The classic print and silhouette of this piece will be in your fall wardrobe rotation for years to come.

Fourteen// Dr. Barbara Sturm 7-Piece Winter Kit

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is all the beauty gift sets. It is such a great opportunity to try out some new products or use as a gift. This seven-piece set is an amazing deal. If you haven’t tried Dr. Barbara Sturm, you need to, as soon as possible!

Fiveteen// Peter Rabbit Christmas Tumbles Set of 4

Peter Rabbit is just timeless and seeing the sweet character created by Beatrix Potter just brings back so many warm memories. 

Sixteen// Slip Pure Silk 4-Pack Skinny Scrunchie 

I love how Slip comes out with a scrunchie gift set every holiday season. I sleep with my hair in a bun every night and this is what I use – they are honestly the best!

Quality is a broader concept than you might imagine, but it's extremely important to understand when shopping for wholesale clothing. Quality of course refers to how many "wears" an item is expected to last for without obvious signs of wear, but there are other less obvious aspects.

High quality items shouldn't just last a long time because of their durable materials and well done garment construction, they also need to look good! This means selecting the right fabrics that look and feel luxurious, paying attention to flattering fits and cuts, opting for high-end hardware and details, and ensuring consistency in sizing and construction.

All of these desirable aspects put together make up a garment that customers will love not only the first time they try it on, but the hundredth too. 

Why Quality Matters

You may be under the assumption that these standards are too high to aim for when shopping for trendy wholesale clothing, but you'd be wrong. Wholesale clothing comes in a wide range of quality, some of which is produced in the exact same places as "high-end" brands.

This means with some attention and research, it's entirely possible to score high-quality wholesale garments for your store at competitive prices. Although it takes extra effort to scout out the best options, the time invested almost always pays off in the long term.

High-quality wholesale clothing selection matters because it helps establish your own brand's reputation. Nothing earns customer loyalty better than consistency upon each visit, and long-term satisfaction with previous purchases. 

Loyal customers make up the backbone of any business, and they do an excellent job of bringing in new interested buyers. Brand reputations are built upon the backs of loyal customers who write positive reviews, wear your items, and spread the word via mouth and social media.

The Fool-Proof Way to Find High Quality Wholesale Clothing

When searching out the best wholesale clothing options for your brand, quality should be top of mind. The specific niche you cater to in terms of clothing styles and customer demographics should be noted to account for what specific designs and fabrics they prefer.

Beyond that, doing due diligence when seeking out suppliers is your best weapon. Reading up on the pros and cons of different fabric compositions, what good stitching density looks like, and how to spot straight seams will already put you a mile ahead of your competition.

Any reputable supplier will have no problem sharing all the details of their garments, and many will even be so kind as to send samples. Examining samples gives an opportunity to assess quality in-person. Laundering the item can also give you an idea of how well the item will hold up over time once it's in the hands of your customers.

The most important part to remember is that there's no shortcut to sourcing the best wholesale clothes, but researching, reviewing, and working with a reputable supplier will have you well on your way scoring exactly what you're after.

Neutral sweaters are such a wardrobe staple for me. I am constantly cold, so a versatile sweater I can pair with dress/skirt/pants is a total win for me.

Two// Juliska Puro Tortoiseshell Vase

I gave this vase to my mom a few years ago as one of her Christmas presents, and it has become one of her most used vases. Beautiful in the pictures, but even more beautiful in person.

Three// J. Crew Barn Jacket in Plaid Double-Faced Cotton

Barn jackets seem to be everywhere this season, and I am 100% here for it. I am in love with this J. Crew barn jacket… fall plaid, gold buttons, brown details. Complete fall perfection. 

Four// Sezane Othello Cardigan

All it takes is the purchase of one Sezane sweater to start a complete Sezane cardigan obsession – consider yourself warned… I really love the effortlessly classic styles they offer. They are just the perfect addition to every outfit

Five// Sezane Crossbody & Shoulder Bag

Rich browns have a hold on my heart this fall season and seem to be absolutely everywhere! I feel like this crossbody looks so elevated, but at a reasonable price point. 

Six// YSL Vanity Bag in Raffia Wicker

Over the summer raffia Wicker seemed to have a hold on everybody. I feel like this is a lifetime piece. It is just so interest and has such a personality. If you take care of her, I feel like this is definitely a lifetime seasonal bag. 

Seven// Polo Ralph Lauren Quilted Barn Jacket

Ralph Lauren is one of my favorite designers, his classic taste and ability to stay relevant is really something to be admired. If you are looking for a barn jacket that is a bit more tailored, then this piece is for you. 

Eight// Veronica Beard Alexie Suede Midi Skirt

One of the first “adult” skirts I had was a red Suede Midi Skirt that I had to have for a middle school Christmas performance. I thought it was the most fashionable and sophisticated thing I had ever worn. A couple decades later, I still think suede skirts are oh so sophisticated, and this is really, really beautiful!

Nine// Dolce Vita Alizza Suede Ballet Flats 

Can one ever have too many ballet flats? I believe the answer would obviously be no… I love the fun strap detail with the gold buckle as kind of a fun twist on a timeless classic. Really love Dolce Vita flats – reasonable price point, great styles, and in my experience the ballet flats have been amazingly comfortable.

Ten// Ralph Lauren Cotton Utility Jacket 

This jacket is just the picture of fall. This utility jacket is another great classic Ralph Lauren piece that is made to be loved for years to come.

Twelve// Ferragamo Tote Bag

Love the closer feature on this bag. Such a great investment piece

Thirteen// Lilly Pulitzer Teddy Boucle Shift Dress

This dress is even better in person. I love how it isn’t your traditional Lilly dress. The unexpected arrival of tweed in a tropical (store) climate just really stood out from the rest, in only the very best way.

Fourteen// Williams-Sonoma Quick Bread Mix Spiced Peacan Pumpkin

Williams-Sonoma is my favorite store this time of year; I will even stop in just to decompress. This is one of my most favorite holiday food items of theirs – try it, you all will love it!

Fifteen// Elemis Pro- Collagen Cleansing Balm

I am about anything that could possibly be anti-aging or make skin look more youthful, Such a great product!

Sixteen// Bistro Tile Stoneware Candy Bowl Halloween Edition

I am not a Halloween décor specific person at all, but the bistro style of this bowl just makes me go weak at the knees. 

Seventeen// Le Jean Zoe Gigi High Rise Skinny Flare

I really love the fact that any style of jean is in right now. I honestly really hope this stays a thing… at the end of the day it’s fun to change things up and some styles are just more flattering than others. If you are on the hunt for a flare pair of jeans, then these are a pair you need to check out!

Eighteen// Peter Thomas Roth Instant Eye Easy

I haven’t tried this product yet, but I have heard the best review about this eye cream. It is a temporary fix, but if you are little tired this product will give you a refresh.

Nineteen// Sarah Flint Natalie Flat

This flat is one of the best wardrobe investments you can make. I love how this shoe can be dressed up or down, and they wear so incredibly well; I have some Sarah Flint shoes that are over five years, and they still look like new. The new colorway is so beautiful. Use code: SARAHFLINT-LAUREN-15 for 15% off your first Sarah Flint purchase.

Twenty// Lake Pajamas Long-Long Set

Lake Pajamas are a favorite of mine – the Pima cotton takes the sleeping experience to the next level and the have some of the prettiest colors and prints.
