As a beauty writer, I live and breathe skin care and makeup. I think about products all the time and not just because testing them is a huge part of my job. That obsessive level of interest doesn’t translate into style, however. I’m not constantly on the hunt for the next best thing in fashion, and I rarely shop for clothing. I’ve settled into what I like, though I’ve also accepted that my personal style is vulnerable to spurts of evolution (like my newfound love and integration of silk scarves).
Overall, I keep things simple. Neutrals dominate my closet. Some may call it boring, but I call it efficiency. If you paid attention to my outfits, you’d notice I repeat them regularly. No matter the season, you’d see that I love classic jeans, brown slacks, and maxi dresses. White T-shirts are regularly in the mix, and if it’s not freezing or raining outside, some sort of black flat is my go-to footwear. My bag is usually black too. My Bottega Veneta bag has seen better days, but I’m impressed at how well it has held up. I don’t believe in being overly precious with your nice things. Use them! Wear them! Let them show signs of life!
I’ve included many of my year-round staples here, and I added some other pieces I’m excited to break out for spring. If you want more insight into what the Cut team loves to wear, you should also check out the closets of my fellow beauty and style editors as well as our 100 Cut Fashion-Closet picks.
