19 Items I've Been Wearing Nonstop Since January 1

I am, admittedly, a creature of habit. Once I discover something that works for my wardrobe, I wear it to death. I personally find this to be a positive trait for a few reasons. First, from an environmental standpoint, if you take the time to invest in pieces you can wear on repeat, you're reducing potential waste. Second, if you're interested in cultivating your own personal style, mixing and matching items that speak to your own aesthetic helps build a style uniform. Third, there's a sense of financial satisfaction that comes from getting a ton of mileage out of your purchases.
All that to say when I buy something you are bound to see me wearing it for many, many months to come. Since January 1, I've followed this "habit" and worn a handful of pieces that have made getting dressed every day easier and more fun. They range from essentials like underwear and basic T-shirts to splashier separates including a statement bag by an of-the-moment label to cute sheer socks that can be worn year-round. Ahead, see the 19 items in question, and if any of them stand out to you, join the bandwagon and shop them for your own wardrobe.
When I tell you I wear these khaki pants (pictured above) at least three times I week, I am not exaggerating. The high waist combined with cropped hems and a wide-leg silhouette all come together to make these so flattering and delightfully versatile. Plus, they feel slightly more dressed-up than an everyday pair of jeans.
I've been really invested in finding sustainable fashion brands lately, and this newly launched unisex sunglasses label crafts eyewear from materials like reforested softwood trees, sand, and minerals. Plus, the shapes and colors are all sleek and versatile, which is always a bonus.
I practice yoga around three to four times a week, and up until getting this matching set from Nylora, I never did it without a tank top layered on top. The fit and fabric make me feel comfortable enough to take my classes in just a sports bra and leggings, and I haven't looked back.
