My closet is always overflowing. Keeping the mess contained and making space for a new purchase on whatever hanger I can find is a struggle. But of all the classic jeans, summer dresses, work pants, and white T-shirts in my wardrobe, only a select few pieces get worn over and over. I love a uniform, and I’m a true creature of habit when it comes to getting dressed.
I gravitate toward functionality and simplicity, especially as I get older. I like things that are easy to wear and take less than five minutes to style, which often means classic styles, relaxed fits, neutral tones, sleek finishes, and sharp tailoring. I’m also a staunch proponent of outfit repeating, so my favorite purchases are versatile, mix-and-matchable, and day-to-night-friendly.
Here, you’ll find the most-worn, spring-y pieces in my closet, from the Toteme trench coat I’ve been wearing for years to the fancy soft pants that are stylish enough for the office and a spacious Cuyana work bag that’s the perfect travel tote for overpackers. As a shopping editor and the writer of the Cut’s “Should You Splurge” column, my job is to test the style, fit, and construction of all the best launches at every price point. But no matter how much newness finds its way into my wardrobe, below are the ones I always keep in rotation. Welcome to my fashion closet!
