True to size except the $50 crewneck, whose sleeves are short on me (I’m 5’7”). Same goes for the $80 cardigan. I still love them, just scrunch up the sleeves 🤎Cardigan | Sweaters | Cashmere | Jenni Kayne | Quince | Affordable Finds ✨

Love a structured breezy jacket for summer – I usually wear them as tops. My olive green linen jacket is OOS, so here are alternatives, some ready for fall. Note that my red jacket does come in olive green! It's very fitted. I'm wearing size small, my usual size.

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. And they come in a really natural-looking vintage wash.The JW Anderson rounded-collar shirt, 100% cotton, $40.

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. The AYR jeans are sold out in my exact wash, so I'll leave the closest here. I also have them in Hero Baby, perfect light wash with natural distressing. I'm 5'7" in a 26R, and I'm wearing 2" heels.

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. My current bag crush is that baguette from Maison de Sabré: full grain leather, tucks under the arm but fits what I need.

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.

J.Crew's Baird McNutt linen shirt needs no break-in – soft straight off the rack. Paired with silky J.Crew Soleil wide-leg pants, a Uniqlo flower print silk scarf tied on an Amazon stretch belt, and a Pamela Munson straw tote. Note: sized up on the pants since my usual size was sold out.

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

The trick with Sézane's embroidered tops is matching the neckline to what you're layering: a band collar peeks out under a plain crewneck, a crewneck neckline won't clash with a sculptural neck detail, and the sleeveless version adds zero bulk + opens up layering under short sleeves. The denim shirt and jeans here are the easy classics to build around. Sézane tops are TTS and fitted. I'm wear a US4, and I'm usually a size 2-4.

My favorite trench <$300 is now on sale. All the details are correct, plus a beautiful collar, 100% cotton, cupro lining. TTS with a classic fit. The G.H.Bass Milton loafer gets the details right when Prada misses at $1,270: it keeps its gathers sitting clean above the sole instead of tucking into it like Prada's.

The classic French shoe evolved from round to sharp. Chanel is just getting started with this new look, so we'll be seeing more and more of these shapes.

A striped shirt advertises its own cut – these line up where it counts. My favorite under $100 has real shell buttons and a smooth cotton poplin; the Tencel pick accents its placket on purpose for a precise collar. The $50 Uniqlo nails the stripe match too — just note it's a cotton-rayon blend, not pure cotton. 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

I love casual sneakers for what they are. Nothing better to balance a tailored trouser or an outfit that's just too serious. I just refuse to pay luxury prices for it. These are all priced correctly whether they're casual or tailored.

Loud versions of this tote are everywhere, from Trader Joe's to the Boatkin. I just want some peace. Let the canvas be canvas – or go refined with the tweed from Rue de Verneuil. LL Bean and Lands' End make the OGs; Tnuck just released an upgraded take. On the Tnuck, the handles have a supportive accent and the top edge sits smooth, while LL Bean's trim keeps that traditional, natural ripple. Tnuck's stitches are also shorter than LL Bean's, another quiet refinement. canvas tote, boat tote, minimal canvas tote, LL Bean boat and tote, LL Bean tote bag, Lands' End canvas tote, navy canvas tote, Tnuck tote, tweed tote bag, Rue de Verneuil tote, The Row tote dupe, large canvas tote, everyday tote bag, work tote, summer tote, beach tote, structured canvas tote, leather trim tote, neutral tote bag, quiet luxury tote, preppy tote bag, market tote, grocery tote, mini canvas tote, raffia tote, Tuckernuck

Wide-leg jeans where the waistband keeps its structure instead of collapsing like a jegging. The Gap and AYR pairs are 99% cotton with just 1% stretch.

The Haven Well Within ballet flats are full-grain leather with stitching so smooth you feel nothing on the inside, and a narrow insole that makes the unstructured shoe hug your foot – plus no ridges of inner reinforcement anywhere. The Quince suede loafers are the comfortable, smooth-lined pair I reach for so often they're always a little dirty.

30% off J.Crew sale styles with code SHOPSALE. 30% off Mango with orders >$270 with code SALE30. The dresses that read more expensive than they are come down to print placement and fabric body. That J.Crew striped dress masterfully combines whimsy with prep, much as Prada did for her 2011 spring collection. Both J.Crew's seashell-print Reverie and cocoa block-print have engineered borders that fall right at the hem. Mango's polka dot dress reminds me of a $400 sold out Posse style, except Mango's fabric blends lyocell, for fluidity, and Posse's was 100% linen. summer dress, block print dress, polka dot dress, midi dress, linen dress, striped midi dress, open back dress, seashell print dress, cotton poplin dress, denim shirt dress, vacation dress, neutral summer dress, J.Crew dress, Mango dress, COS dress, dresses on sale

30% off J.Crew sale styles with code SHOPSALE. 30% off Mango with orders >$270 with code SALE30. The linen worth the spend uses the fabric to achieve the designs we reach for. I want to see densely woven, structured linen in Mango's 100% linen jacket with Napoleonic details. J.Crew's shirt is bias-cut on the diagonal so it skims the figure instead of clinging, same idea as most slip dresses. Watch the blends: the barn jacket reads softer than the pure-linen pieces for that languid feel juxtaposed with a utilitarian design. It does the editing for you.

That silky, worn-in cotton. A fluid drape that traces your shape. But we still want a collar that keeps it polished, not sloppy. I got the Buck Mason shirt in the slim cut in order to compare it against "standard" tees last year. The cropped boxy cut is what I'd actually wear and recommend.

You've asked me about lace-trimmed pants, and it's a tough mission: both the fabric and the lace have rarified standards. So I was happy to find a Reformation silk set on sale.
