The Best Products For September According To Our Editors

“The XT-6s have already left their footprint on society. Some might even say they are the "Labubus of Sneakers" in their immediate rise within the mainstream zeitgeist. However, we've moved onto XT's quieter sister, who is making a loud entrance in our closets and "on these streets." As a flat-footed woman, who has recently told by a biomechanical professional that her feet need arch support at all times, I took the assignment to combine style with functional framing very seriously. The XT-WHISPER still brings the patterned heat in unique colorways while also celebrating its OG Quicklace and Sensifit™ application that we all know and love. I might not be fully ready to pair my "sneaks" with tiny glasses, a floral-beaded choker, and an overly patterned Russian manicure, but I am stomping through every city (that will let me), cosplaying as the ultimate hypebeast.” –Annie Goodman

“I recently got this set for my guest bedroom, and it instantly made the room look cozy and put together. Even better: my first guest who enjoyed it raved about how comfy it was! Highly recommend the dusk color – it's got a great denim style tone that was a nice color pop in a very white room.” –Kaleigh Moore

“Arjun from Raazi sent me a sample of their Jasmine Tea and it’s one of my favorite products of the year. The tea is fragrant and the packaging is so beautifully-designed — I can't wait to repurchase it for myself and buy it as a gift for friends. I also adore Raazi's zines and interviews collecting writing and art about tea, ritual, and connection. They have a super wide range of teas available to shop online, and you can find their tea in New York at places like Happiest Grocer and the Fort Greene farmers market.” –Hannah Baker

“I always like to keep a few quick-cooking proteins in the freezer, and these chicken sausages from The Sausage Project are some of the most flavorful I've tried, and the ingredient list is short and familiar. They're super juicy with none of that rubbery processed meat texture or overload of garlic powder you get from other brands of fully-cooked sausages. And the Italian herb flavor is highly versatile. I toss it with pasta, add it to salads, serve it with eggs, or toss it on the grill.” –Lizzy Briskin

“I wake up looking forward to a cup of coffee and over the past summer I've realized I probably spend a little too much money getting cold brew and iced lattes from coffee shops. When I came across the DeLonghi La Specialista Opera Espresso Machine, I was shocked to learn that you can actually also create a cold brew with the machine - I didn't even know was possible! I was ecstatic to give it a try and I was actually able to create a cold brew in under 5 minutes, thanks to its proprietary Cold Extraction Technology. Not only was the machine super easy to use but I loved all of the different features it has from the built-in girder and frother too.” –Nikita Charuza

“Just when I thought diapers couldn't get softer... I met Parasol. My almost 2-year-old has a sensitive little booty, so ensuring he remains free and clear of diaper rash is a major concern of mine. Parasol's diapers are not only super soft, but totally TCF... meaning they're a clean option, too!” –Dana Abraham

“After sampling what felt like every white paint on the market (well over 100 shades), I finally found the one worth adding to cart: Slaked Lime. In southern light, it glows with a warmth that makes rooms feel lived-in yet elevated — never too stark, never too creamy. It’s become my go-to neutral, the kind of color you’ll reach for again and again, and one I can’t recommend highly enough. This is my favorite paint color I have ever, ever found!” –Alyssa Kluge

“I truly don’t invest in new clothes enough, but with a brand like PVCS, I don’t feel like I have much of a choice. I’m so drawn to their styles and design choices — all slick, clean cut but so stylish and somehow still trendy. I was lucky enough to get to try out the Boxy Cotton Shirt ver.2 (in Lemon),the Woody Linen Knit Top (in Oatmeal), the Basic U-Neck Tank Top (in Gray) and the Cotton Bermuda Shorts (in Black). The boxy cotton shirt is soft like butter and matches in color too. It’s exactly what I imagined it to be. The woody linen knit top is perfect for a summer evening - not too thick and not too light. The basic tank is snug but hugs my body quite nicely. I like the scooped neck look a lot and for my bigger chested girlies - you can get away with not wearing a bra. And lastly the shorts - great quality and such a perfect school girl cut, but unfortunately I did get the largest side (I’m a mid-sized girly who usually wears M/L/38), and they didn’t fit me. I had to get them hemmed, but worth it because now I’ve been wearing them everyday! You definitely get your money’s worth with this great-quality brand. Highly recommend.” –Naomi Joshi

“As a travel and beauty writer, I’ve packed more toiletry bags than I can count, but the Oleda one might just be my perfect match. It’s monogrammed with my initials, is made with a soft vegan leather, and is built for the kind of organized chaos that comes with living out of a carry-on. I love that it feels stylish enough to pass as an accessory but functional enough to actually hold everything I need, from full-size skincare to the mini lip glosses that somehow always end up multiplying in my bag. For me, it’s the best of both worlds: chic meets practical. Honestly, it makes packing almost as fun as the trip itself.” –Lauren Harano

“Act+Acre’s new Daily Hydro™ Hydrating Conditioner has been such a savior for my summer-fried hair. After learning firsthand how much the sun and beach can dry out and damage my ends, I was already bracing for that inevitable fall haircut. But this conditioner hydrates like no other. Consistent use has helped heal my split ends and given my hair new life. I even pushed back my hair trim appointment because I don’t think I’ll need it just yet.” –Shei Marcelline

“I came across iota because of their new Diamond Truffle body oil (Diamonds. Truffles. What's not to love?), but what has pulled me in and kept me here are the everyday basics in this Supergreens Set. This year, I made a commitment to treat my body with the same effusiveness as I do my face. At 42, I'm seeing how the sun damage of my youth is starting to wreack havoc on parts of my person I never thought would age. These clean, microbiome-friendly formulas are not only great for sensitive skin, they're also lightweight yet hydrating textures that won't leave skin sticky or greasy. Since using them (and exfoliating regularly, of course), my skin is brighter, smoother, and just overall healthier-looking than before. If you're in the market for a new go-to body care routine, you cannot go wrong with these gentle but effective products.” –Deenie Hartzog-Mislock

“These Happy Suckers by Goodness have become my little hack for getting through busy days - whether it’s back-to-back calls or that mid-afternoon slump that always hits after lunch. They’re made with all-natural, plant-based ingredients like guarana and kanna, and I notice the difference almost right away - less stress, more focus, and just a lighter mood overall. The best part is I can decide how many to take depending on what I need: one or two to stay calm and grounded, or a few more when I need that extra push of energy.” –Lauren Kleinman

“No matter how long I sit still after a DIY pedicure, my polish ends up smudged. Kijibae’s semi-cured gel pedi strips are the ultimate hack for clumsy, impatient people like me. There’s no dry time, no precision needed, and somehow they look like a $50 salon pedicure every time. The flexible strips harden under a quick UV cure, which makes them both beginner-proof and surprisingly long-lasting (mine survived a beach week and three blistery walks in sandals). Overall, my pedi lasted 4 weeks with only one nail casualty—consider me impressed. The glossy, dusky-blue Under the Weather shade is subtle and chic—but their cute designs are begging for the remainder of LA's sandal season and vacations alike.” –Hannah Cassidy
