@anna_laplaca"My vintage Levi's get more wear than anything else in my closet. The pair I love most has a high-waisted fit with a straight leg, and they're in a classic blue wash that I think will truly always be style. They're one of those staples I'll never get rid of because they're effortless but can make even basic items like a white tee look so cool. In a rut, I fall back on wearing them with a T-shirt and a blazer." — Anna LaPlaca, associate editor

@katcollings"A white or cream turtleneck will always have exceptional longevity for me. Enough so that I've found it worth it to buy them from quality brands like Theory so you can avoid a baggy neck. I wear them layered under dresses, button-downs, and crew-neck sweaters and of course on their own. They add a little sophistication to my outfit. Just add jeans (or lounge pants while we're staying at home) and a nice belt!" — Kat Collings, editor in chief

@fitzpatrickerin"A plaid blazer is my favorite timeless piece. Comfort is always key for me, so I prefer it to be a tad oversize so it doesn't feel stiff. Nowadays, you can throw it on for a Zoom meeting, but otherwise, it's perfect to wear to work because it dresses up jeans. I wear mine with band tees to give it a little personality." — Erin Fitzpatrick, senior news editor

@joiedejude"I can't count the number of white tees I own. I wear them almost every day. Nowadays, mostly with sweats and oversize cardigans. I like relaxed, crew-neck styles the most. Hanes's Nano T-shirt from Amazon is one of my favorites in terms of style, silhouette, and comfort. Plus, it's not see-through. Not too shabby for $6!" — Judith Jones, market editor

@bobbyschuessler"I consistently rely on a moto jacket to bring a chic and cool twist to my looks. This Mackage style is my go-to given its timeless silhouette. A quality pick like this is an investment piece, but the versatile nature gives it a strong cost-per-wear value in my book." — Bobby Schuessler, senior market editor

@allypayer"Few basics can be dressed up or down as easily and effectively as a white button-down shirt. (In case you forgot, Sharon Stone even wore one to the 1999 Oscars.) Lately, I've been leaving the bottom few buttons unbuttoned to give it more of a modern feel." — Allyson Payer, senior fashion editor

@kristenmarienichols"Nothing makes an easy outfit feel more polished that a classic tweed blazer—whether worn with jeans like I usually wear one or with leggings like I've been getting dressed in at home for team conference calls. While I usually stick to neutrals, this is one piece that is even better in a fun color." — Kristen Nichols, managing editor
