This summer, my best friend is getting married. Even though she lives in Portland, Oregon, and I'm based in Brooklyn, our text message thread is a constant stream of links for everything the soon-to-be bride might need: rehearsal-dinner dresses, comfortable post-ceremony wedding sneakers, sporty activewear pieces for our hiking-centered bachelorette… I've loved taking on the role in my friend group as the sounding board for all things fashion. Though my friends have different needs, budgets, and senses of style, I've mastered the art of tracking down that perfect piece that fits what they're looking for.
In addition to shopping for the upcoming nuptials, I've been fielding questions about dresses to pack on winter vacations, stylish new staples for work, and even what I'm wearing to New York Fashion Week. I'm giving you a little look into my group chats by sharing my favorite pieces that I've recently recommended to those in my inner circle. If my friends are asking for something specific, odds are it may be on your want list too. Ahead, you'll find non-boring basics and special statement finds alike to consider adding to your own wardrobe.
