The two words that hurt the most to hear: Sold. Out. Because really, there's nothing worse than eyeing a purchase, choosing to sleep on it, and waking up to find it's wiped out completely — right as you were ready to pull the trigger. That's why we decided to keep close tabs on the must-have items of 2015 with our column, The Sell-Out. From perfect wardrobe staples to street-style It items, there were 10 standout pieces in particular that some of our favorite brands just couldn't keep on the shelves. Those are the articles of clothing we wish we clicked "buy" on sooner — and that we're still pining for as they get restocked.
Ahead, you'll find the scoop on these must-haves. And stay tuned — we'll be continuing to update this space and keep you posted on the next big thing as 2016 commences.
Topshop MARY '60s Chelsea Boots
You might not think you need a metallic bootie in your life, but you do. That might explain why Topshop's quintessential retro Chelsea pair sold out every time it was restocked.
Wilfred Free Daria Pant
Aritzia's buttery-soft pair of vegan leather leggings has been consistently on back order...but that doesn't make us want them any less.
AYR Robe
This classic overcoat has been seen on everyone from Eva Chen to Karlie Kloss. Yep, it's just that good.
Puma By Rihanna Creeper
Pretty much anything Rihanna touches turns to gold. So while our closets were super-disappointed, it was no surprise that the creepers she designed with Puma sold out in a matter of hours.
Master & Dynamic ME05 Earphones
While we're big fans of Master & Dynamic's rad over-ear headphones, it was the brand's sleek earbuds that sold like crazy this past year.
Gucci Princetown Leather Slipper
The hefty price tag on these kangaroo-fur loafers didn't stop the fashion set from sporting the slip-on shoe all year long.
3x1 WM3 Crop Fringe Lima Jean
Frayed denim had a major moment this year, but none compared to 3x1's laser-cut pair.
Norma Kamali Stud Marissa Bodysuit
A bodysuit may not be at the very top of your wish list, but this sexy studded version by Norma Kamali is a must-have for major celebrities and influencers alike (we're looking at you, Kylie Jenner).
Lou & Grey Midi Sweater Dress
Any piece that's as cozy as it is chic gets an A+ in our book. And apparently, you all feel the same — this midi dress from Ann Taylor's sister brand Lou & Grey sold out before most could get their hands on it.
Everlane Chunky Wool Collection
Everlane has quickly become a favorite destination for long-lasting staple, and its super-soft collection of sweaters were in high-demand once cold weather season struck.
