Roni on LTK

The details that make me reach for my Polo pieces: shell buttons, button shanks, sculptural collars. The pickstitching on the délavé linen blazer signals something real – it’s a well-finished, well cut blazer that will easily elevate a summer outfit. It’s also a class above other blazers in the price range. Skip the shirt dresses unless there’s a very specific sleeve/hem/fabric/color combo you need (we shop to wear, not to optimize!). The jeans have been my CBK pick, and the brand greatly improved their denim from cut to wash. The cable knits are great, too. LTKootd LTKSeasonal

30% Off Full-Priced and Sale Styles. Ends 7/31. Banana Republic started out in 1978 selling safari-themed clothes, and I am really happy to see them tap into their own archives. The relaxed hourglass fit keeps these pieces modern rather than theme-y.

My back-to-school adidas edit: crinkle-texture track top, high-rise wide-leg jeans, and tonal greige sneakers to continue the long line. The jeans sit higher than on the model – size up for a lower rise, and take the 32" length if you're 5'7" or taller. Honor roll jersey for the pup included. Add a silk scarf for a classic touch and a little humor. I mean, who wears silk to an athletic activity? Exactly. #ad

From low rise to high, relaxed jeans that balance slouch with polish. Most have a slightly relaxed crotch, so the rise tells you where the waistband will land. A few are cut extra slouchy – for those, the rise is only half the story. They want to be slung low. Utility, uniqlo, Crop Jean, jeans, Wide-Leg Jean, trouser, Loose Jean, frame, Mid-Rise

Her real 90s cut is specific: ankle length, subtle flare, low-but-not-Y2K waist, skims the hip instead of gripping it, distressing that looks earned.
A few styles gets it right each a year, and they sells out before most people notice they exist.

Margaux's got the rare crinkle flats I am happy to recommend: the texture is consistent through the shoe. Veronica Beard's heels are positioned for balance, and the shape is ultra precise. I'd recommend them at full price. I cannot believe how well designed the Vionic mules are – many brands struggle to make a heel look this refined yet modern. Aquatalia's waterproof loafers have a classic lug sole, not too chunky to feel like those enormous Pradas from 2020. I love a lug sole loafer for travel, especially, since it's both comfortable and polished. Vince gets the ruching right, and the loafer is all leather.

Bags built like they still have a job: leather that supports their shapes, straps designed with intention, leathers that would be at home with anyone who grew up with saddles. I'm so excited to see this Madewell tote at the sale! It is so impressive in person. The handles have padding you'd see at much higher prices, and the leather's texture reflects light beautifully. It's large enough for your work necessities, and it's cool enough to be your weekend time off bag, too. The Horse's simple designs require supple yet substantial leather, and that's exactly what they use. Rue de Verneuil give you a luxe take on Hermès' Garden Party without looking like a Amazon dupe: notice the skinny round handles, the leather trim, the canvas that holds its shape. Elleme uses the same soft weaving technique that vaulted Bottega Veneta to the legendary status we know today. Manu Atelier's belt bags are the only ones I recommend for that Birkin-esque look because their materials + craftsmanship truly showcase a compelling vision.

Boyish shorts contrast with the 1950s, ultra feminine feel of a sweater set. The soft loafers are a bridge: supple like ballet flats with the details of classic loafers. These are the Dear Frances gifted loafers that passed my harshest inspection: bound topline, leather lining, a curved sole. I'm including my cap-toe flats I went back and bought with my own money. The flats are a more updated shape than Chanel's own two-tone: high vamp, soft unstructured leather, light bone with a black cap toe.

This Aritzia trench keeps the details that make a trench a trench: gun flap on the button side, removable wrist belts, 100% cotton twill. The belted hip-length jacket will be a thing this fall, and I can see why. It defines the waist and works with any rise (high rise to low waist).

If you're intrigued by scarves but not the prices, these are a great way to step in. Mulberry silk, hand rolled edges, and the patterns that you'll reach for. Those edges not only look great, they also hold their shape instead of drooping. It's these subtle differences that separate cringe from that effortless polish we love.

Jeans go in and out of stock! If the ones you want are sold out, try again tomorrow. Go for Levi's and AG for a vintage finish that's far, far, far than most luxury jeans. The Frame Le Palazzo got an update, so they're my pick for office-ready low waisted jeans. I have the older version in 3 washes.

Bags built like they still have a job: structured silhouettes, belts and locks that actually close, leathers that would be at home with anyone who grew up with saddles.

The hip-length jacket will be very versatile this fall, giving wide-leg jeans more polish, adding volume to slim capris, and of course pairing beautifully with classic straight jeans (and pants). rag & bone's short trench has the gun flap on the correct side, where it was originally engineered to seal the coat from rain (when you button up the coat, it covers the top corner. Gemius). Vince's single-breasted rain coat has a beautifully sculpted collar to frame the face - that's a daily driver that adds refinement to your yoga outfit with zero effort. COS' 100% wool blazer reminds me of Victoria Beckham's 1970s fascination, and COS' wool/lyocell double-faced fabric is an evergreen favorite for its beautiful sheen and elegant drape.

My picks, every one passing the fabric test: The merino cardigan is 100% merino at $50, while the lookalike sweater next to it is 50% acrylic. Read the label, not the vibe. The transitional hoodie jacket at $70 uses polyester where it belongs: water repellency. The 90s supermodel jeans, $50, with free hemming.

Crisp & billowy at the same time, like organza. That's what I want linen to do: hold structure at the collar, placket, & cuff, then float like air everywhere else. The BR shirt is TTS.

Leather bags that earn their descriptions: full grain totes whose folds age gracefully, and pebbled leather with real, plump grain. Note: The Horse Esme has an oval bottom, so it leans off-duty over work. It would be a great bag at double the price.

These Gap wide-leg jeans are down to $26! I paid full price, and it was worth it. 40% Tencel for a breathable drape in summer heat – sized down to 25 from my usual 26. Paired with a Mango red linen-mix cropped jacket, Uniqlo silk scarf on an Amazon stretch belt, and a Pamela Munson straw tote.

Striped pieces that layer easily and of course pass the test (placket, collar, and seams that line up). The Quince is linen and runs very fitted; I size up to a medium from my usual small. Go with a small if you intend only to wear it layered under a blazer or sweater. J.Crew's Jules is a classic fit, true to size. I'm in a 4, and it layers under blazers and sweaters without bulk. WNU gives you the classic banker stripe in a silky Tencel – soft sheen, breathable, and an impeccable cut. Banana Republic is the easy everyday win. Great for a summer night out and slides right under a blazer or cardigan for work – no bulk under the arms. striped button down shirt with matching stripes, cotton poplin shirt with shell buttons, affordable striped oxford shirt under 100, Tencel striped shirt with accent placket, classic blue striped button up, well tailored striped shirt with precise collar, striped wide leg pants with welt pocket, COS, J.Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, With Nothing Underneath, Uniqlo, Boden, Banana Republic, Toteme, silk blouse, striped shirt dress, work outfit, office look, day to night

Striped pieces that actually pass, where the placket, collar, and seams line up. That COS shirt is precise and wittily plays on lounge memories in a fresh way. Love that Jules fitted cut at J.Crew – I have a different style of the Jules, and it's great for layering. My favorite under $100 (Banana Republic) has real shell buttons and a smooth cotton poplin; the Tencel pick (WNU) accents its placket on purpose for a precise collar. . For pants, I go welt pocket over patch: a patch pocket on a curved seat is genuinely hard to line up. striped button down shirt with matching stripes, cotton poplin shirt with shell buttons, affordable striped oxford shirt under 100, Tencel striped shirt with accent placket, classic blue striped button up, well tailored striped shirt with precise collar, striped wide leg pants with welt pocket, COS, J.Crew, Polo Ralph Lauren, With Nothing Underneath, Uniqlo, Boden, Banana Republic, Toteme, silk blouse
