5 Best bases of the wardrobe to wear in New York

As editor -in -chief of fashion in New York, looking good on the go is part of my job description. In fact, I should add it to the special skills section of my CV. Drawing the perfect balance between comfortable and cool is an art perfected by a myriad of girls from cities over time, and I am grateful to have learned their way in the last decade. Now, my closet only reflects the essential elements that make me hear my best, no matter the opportunity – and lucky for you, I have the kindness to share these essential categories with the class.

Build a wardrobe you can count on so that you look chic for any occasion may seem intimidating, but it is actually much more practical than, let’s say, follies on a dozen new pieces to fashion every season. Although I am everything for a few funky declaration documents (not negatively, but we will get there later!), It is my raised bases that help me build a look without wondering if I will be enough for the day to come.

During the coldest months of winter, five key categories are distinguished as essential to build a strong and reliable wardrobe: the bases that adapt like a glove, elegant but elegant handbags, long coats that not Solid black boots to dress or fall, and of course, some declarations of declaration for any jazz.

The bases that correspond like a glove

Rag & Bone Miramar Terry Wide-Leg Papant Papant

Everyone has a few pairs of jeans and some loud loud people in their closet. But are they THE RIGHT those? Take the time to find silhouettes in versatile denim that really suits me to prepare – and as a result, all my life – a thousand times easier. I will always recommend a more relaxed pair and loose washes (right now, I’m spending a moment with the Rag & Bone tracksuit jeans), as well as a more robust dark washing pair for a slightly more formal sensation than To be stylized with casualness.

Body -shaped body -shaped butter -shaped body

As for the bases at the top, I recommend a black stellar body for superposition, as well as a blouse to wear, buttoned, rolled on the sleeves, and this. I am also professional bases with a little additional interest, such as the Bleusalt Cindy top. It works just as practically as an ordinary white t-shirt, but it has an asymmetrical neckline and the little elbow.

Spacious (but elegant) bags

Brooklyn Bag 39 coach

I love a micro-sac as much as the next fashion girl, but more often than not, I wear a catch-all bag to lug all my things. Too often, I found myself making several canvas bins in the city to remedy the lack of space in my bag; After a while, I decided that I prefer to be a big lady rather than a bag of bag!

Reversible blair free people vegan suede tote

Fortunately, large bags have a moment right now, so there are many elegant options. The key here is to define the same standards as you would for a real handbag: if you are not excited about this, you will not reach it, and you have to transport it will be like a chore. Can I recommend removing a page from Bella Hadid’s book and opting for coach Brooklyn? Or maybe this vegetable suede option for free people – it’s reversible, so you essentially get two bins in one.

Chest trench coat to one

Listen to me on this one. I believe that a black coat is an essential wardrobe, but the key to intentionally appearing style is to go up on average. So, if a black wool coat seems too obvious, exchange it for something in a magnificent red wine, olive green or even a hunting check.

Long silhouettes are generally the coolest effortless, but do not be afraid to experiment with the fabric and the texture. I am a suction cup for a moment of false fur (this choice of gap is SO Rockstar), but I will always remain in favor of a timeless trench like that of Madewell.

My weakness is that I have far too many boots, but those on which I really count are almost always my knees. If I stylize with a dress, a skirt, under Or On jeans, they are easily the most versatile shoe silhouette of the game – and generally, much more comfortable than heels!

Everlane the trunk

I do not only dress to look good, but to feel good too, so I gravitate towards boots, I know that I can walk all day without my feet hurting me. I have the Vince Camuto Sangetis in several colors, and the riding boots of Everlan are the next on my purchase list. They just look so much luxurious.

Declaration Accessories

Jenny Bird Art Heart puff earrings

Finally and above all, I firmly believe that each cool but practical outfit needs a special part to take it above. For a functional and versatile wardrobe, I recommend going with accessories instead of blowing your annual fashion budget on a coat, high or crazy dress. The intentional accents make a look built on the basics – think: black body, denim and boots that we mentioned earlier – are organized and fresh. In addition, this is the ultimate opportunity to show your personal style, even when you don’t have the bandwidth to spend a lot of time planning your look.

Warby Parker Carmel sunglasses

Whenever I compliment a New York fashion girl, she tells me that her earrings are Jenny Bird (and the new Puffy Hearts collection is to die for). Lately, I extend the jewelry to my checks and I really look at the trend of the viral hair cuff of 2025; So much, I even created my own collection with RPZL. Of course, sunglasses are the ultimate essential to look ridiculously cool: I have three pairs of Carmels from Warby Parker, and I think I could invest in the Breeze color for unexpected pop on days when the rest From my outfit needs a little punch.
