@trustmebuythis"I'm really into suiting and tailoring right now, but I've found myself ditching all my fitted blazers in favor or more oversized, menswear-inspired styles. Not only do they look more relaxed and cool, but they're also exponentially easier to layer under."—Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour, senior market editor

@katcollings"I feel like black pumps are considered a basic component of any wardrobe, but for me, they have become pretty irrelevant. I keep a single pair in the back of my closet for I'm not sure what, but I haven't worn them for a long while now. I find myself gravitating towards mules in neutral colors when I need a closed-toe heel and have embraced a mix of heel heights, especially lower ones."—Kat Collings, editor in chief

@anna_laplaca"I always keep several plain crewneck sweaters in my closet thinking that owning them is a good idea but in reality, I gloss over them for my more interesting knits anyway, making me question why I feel the need to keep them around. The sweaters I'm gravitating toward these days are knit polo tops, an emerging trend that feels really fresh to me. I recently wore this lovely version from our Who What Wear collection to the office and got so many inquiries about it." —Anna LaPlaca, associate editor

@joiedejude"I seem to have accrued a lot of black tapered ankle pants, which have been a staple in my day-to-night work wardrobe for the longest time. But these days, I'm favoring tailored yet relaxed wide-leg silhouettes—a trend we saw in abundance on the spring 2020 runways."—Judith Jones, market editor

@allypayer"I used to wear denim jackets all the damn time (I even have an entire rack in my closet dedicated to them). Don't get me wrong—I'm not done with them, but I wear jeans a lot (as we all do), and I don't always want to commit to a Canadian tuxedo. As an alternative, I've been shopping for leather outerwear in a variety of colors and styles. The Mango leather jacket I'm wearing here is unfortunately sold out, but I can't stop thinking about this new one."—Allyson Payer, senior fashion editor

@kristenmarienichols"I love a tailored button-down top, but recently, I've been skipping traditional versions in favor of open-front styles that taper out from the waist, which lends a sculptural quality to the look. It's a microtrend I've been seeing everywhere. Esse Studios designed the top I'm wearing here to the Jacquemus P/F 20 show."—Kristen Nichols, managing editor

@bobbyschuessler"I used to live in basic black hoodies. While I still will turn to them from time to time (since I do love wearing all black), I'm interested in alternative iterations in other neutral hues to amp up my look for spring." —Bobby Schuessler, senior market editor
