My Friends Describe My Style as Classic Yet Cool: This Is What I'm Buying Now
I love a good trend, but the older I get, the more I've started to lean into the classics. Maybe it has something to do with developing a uniform, or maybe I've just gone down the "Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy style" rabbit hole too many times. Either way, classic staples are a thing I can't (and won't) live without. I like to think of them as the building blocks for any good outfit. Look to any stylish French girl for proof.
That being said, there is a fine line between classic and boring. And in my experience, it's all in the details. I'm talking about a pair of loose trousers with cutouts at the hips, a perfectly slouchy sweater, or a tailored coat in a bold pattern. Finding versatile pieces that you can easily build upon are key. Lucky for you, I've already done the legwork. Keep scrolling to find my top picks.
If you thought long-sleeved dresses couldn't be sexy, think again.
