Understated Leather Jackets: How to Find Your Favorite

Understated Leather Jackets: How to Find Your Favorite

Understated Leather is the Austin label Jennifer Kassell started in 2014 by customizing secondhand leather and denim jackets. I like it because the western details feel like a person's taste, never a costume.

Trousers Under $250

Trousers Under $250

Trousers under two hundred fifty dollars are the wardrobe workhorses, provided the waist and proportion are doing their jobs. This edit covers the shapes I would use to build an outfit around, from short lengths and wide legs to high rises and easy pull-on styles. My rule is to c

Trousers Under $100

Trousers Under $100

Trousers under $100 are not a consolation purchase. They are the part of a wardrobe where a sensible cut, a workable waistband, and a forgiving fabric can matter more than a prestige label. I start with the job: a wide leg for balance, a high rise for a clean line, or an elastic

Trousers, Sweaters, and Trench Coats

Trousers, Sweaters, and Trench Coats

An arrival wardrobe of wide trousers, soft sweaters and trench coats that works straight off the plane. Made for anyone who wants to land and head out.

Tops Under $300

Tops Under $300

Tops in this price range are where a wardrobe gets its personality. I want a top to change the shape of an outfit without asking for a completely new set of trousers, shoes and accessories. I start with the neckline, then check the fabric, the fastening and the amount of attentio

Tinted Glass: Oval Frames, Amber Earrings and a Sculptural Cuff

Tinted Glass: Oval Frames, Amber Earrings and a Sculptural Cuff

Tinted glass accessories carry this edit: tinted oval frames, amber resin earrings and a sculptural cuff. I kept the base as neutral as possible so the accessories read first.

The Skims Sale Edit: The Pieces Worth Knowing

The Skims Sale Edit: The Pieces Worth Knowing

A Skims sale is usually a colorway being retired rather than a piece leaving the main lineup. I go through what actually turns over, from terry to silk and sleepwear, and what to pair with it.

Yuhan Wang Skirts: What to Know Before Buying

Yuhan Wang Skirts: What to Know Before Buying

Yuhan Wang is the London label of a designer who trained in Chinese landscape painting before she ever cut a pattern. I am hooked on the ruffles, lace and sheer layers that somehow still have a spine.

YLLW The Label Dresses: From a California Garage to Beaded Minis and Fringe Maxis

YLLW The Label Dresses: From a California Garage to Beaded Minis and Fringe Maxis

This edit on YLLW the label dresses covers the brand's organza and fringe pieces, linen, knits, beaded minis and maxis. I would start with the story, a husband-and-wife team in a California garage, and then pick by occasion.

Only Hearts Lingerie: The Pieces Worth a Look

Only Hearts Lingerie: The Pieces Worth a Look

Only Hearts is the New York lingerie label that started as a boutique full of heart-shaped finds. I love its idea that pretty underthings can come out and join the outfit.

Glycolic Acid Toner Benefits: 16 Picks and How to Start Slowly

Glycolic acid toner benefits include smoother, brighter and more even skin, as long as you go slowly and wear SPF. I went through sixteen glycolic toners and pads, starting with the gentle ones.

Black Tie Attire for Women: The Dinner Jacket's Long Afterlife

Black Tie Attire for Women: The Dinner Jacket's Long Afterlife

Black tie attire for women starts with the level of evening, not a demand to wear black. I trace the dress code from Tuxedo Park to floor-length gowns, chocolate brown, and the dressy cocktail option.

Bedtime Looks: Slips, Chemises and a Silk Pillowcase

Bedtime Looks: Slips, Chemises and a Silk Pillowcase

Bedtime looks do not have to mean big tees and messy hair. I picked slips and a sheer chemise to wear from the comfort of your own bed, plus a silk pillowcase.

Yoga Wear: Clothes That Move and Stay Put

Yoga Wear: Clothes That Move and Stay Put

Yoga wear that moves and stays put is the idea behind this edit of Beyond Yoga leggings, flares, bras and bodysuits. I start with the Spacedye pieces and build outward.

Workout Wear: Splits59 Leggings, Sports Bras and Skorts

Workout Wear: Splits59 Leggings, Sports Bras and Skorts

My workout wear and accessories live in one drawer: leggings long and cropped, sports bras and a fleece sweatshirt. Splits59 leads the edit, from a high waist rib 7/8 legging to a rib skort.

Work Dresses: From a 1974 Wrap Top to the Desk Day Uniform

Work Dresses: From a 1974 Wrap Top to the Desk Day Uniform

This work dresses edit covers sheaths, wraps, sweater dresses, long sleeve midis and black and navy styles that an office would welcome. I started with Diane von Furstenberg's 1974 wrap dress and worked toward what I would actually wear on a Tuesday.

Witchy Fall Outfits: Black Lace, Velvet and Moon Jewelry

Witchy Fall Outfits: Black Lace, Velvet and Moon Jewelry

Witchy fall outfits come down to black lace, deep velvet and a bit of jewelry with a moon or a snake on it. I show how I would wear that every day, piece by piece.

Winter Shoes Built for Cold Days, From Slippers to Snow Boots

Winter Shoes Built for Cold Days, From Slippers to Snow Boots

Winter shoes have stopped being purely practical, and shearling linings, puffer boots and lug soles now show up in street style as often as on ski trips. The shift comes from a wider love of cozy dressing, where comfort reads as confidence rather than giving up. This edit covers every cold-weather pair, from house slippers to tall snow boots.

Winter Hats for Women: From Crimean Knits to Shepherd Berets

Winter Hats for Women: From Crimean Knits to Shepherd Berets

This edit covers winter hats for women, from cuffed beanies and faux fur trappers to berets, bucket hats and balaclavas. I wrote it for the days when a cold wind finds your ears, with the history of each shape and a test for every fit.

Wide Calf Boots

Wide calf knee high boots that actually zip up

White Satin Dress: From Victoria's 1840 Gown to the Slips Now

White Satin Dress: From Victoria's 1840 Gown to the Slips Now

This white satin dress edit covers slips, minis, midis, gowns and corset dresses in white and ivory. I am a fan of the plain version, and I explain how to pick one by cut.

Whitening Strips, Powders and Lights: The Bathroom Shelf Behind a Brighter Smile

Whitening Strips, Powders and Lights: The Bathroom Shelf Behind a Brighter Smile

The idea behind whitening strips started with a scrap of food wrap in 1997, and the at-home category has grown into strips, powders and LED kits. Here are the whitening options I would line up, the toothpastes for daily upkeep, and the water flossers that keep the rest of the routine honest.

White Feather Dress: From Boston's 1896 Tea Parties to Your Wardrobe

White Feather Dress: From Boston's 1896 Tea Parties to Your Wardrobe

This white feather dress edit covers minis, midis, gowns and feather-trim tops and skirts. I wanted to start with the 1896 tea parties that turned feathers into a cause, then pick the ones worth wearing.

Where to Sell Designer Bags: Fast Offer, Consignment or Trade-In

Where to Sell Designer Bags: Fast Offer, Consignment or Trade-In

Where to sell designer bags compares instant offers, consignment and trade-in credit, using pre-owned Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Goyard and Dior bags as the examples. I would pick the route by how fast I need the money and how patient I can be.

What to Wear to Pilates, and After

What to Wear to Pilates, and After

The best Pilates outfits fit close without digging in, so you can move freely through every exercise. These picks cover sports bras, leggings and bike shorts, warm-up layers and easy pieces for after class. Most of them work just as well for a walk or a coffee run.
