Classic and cool.

I bet you were due for a restock.

The pants you'll end up wearing with just about every top.

If you had to add any basic to your wardrobe this year, make it an oversize button-down.

Found your next pair of everyday jeans.

To make any outfit infinitely cooler.

An investment for sure but one that will continue to pay off for years to come.

No wardrobe is complete without one.

The perfect vintage fit is hard to come by in shorts.

Chunky loafers may have ruled in seasons past, but now (and always) it's about the classic penny loafer.

A spring must-have.

Simple but stunning.

Staud's bags always look like they should cost way more than they do.

On-trend and, most importantly, wearable.

Tuck in skinny jeans or wear with miniskirts.

If fashion people aren't wearing jeans, they're wearing loose trousers.

Cardigans you can wear as tops will pull double duty.

Big leather jackets may be trending this spring, but they're a forever item.

The back is something special.

The collar makes this pullover feel so right-now.

The perfect match to trousers, jeans, and leggings alike.

I own these and can attest that they're peak luxury.

An EmRata favorite.

Can't forget about them.
