Roni on LTK

Banana Republic's glow up delivered some real wins – if you know where to look. These pieces pass my quality tests: Brunello’s peak lapels on the Italian wool blazer, 98% wool trousers that beat Victoria Beckham's polyester blend, sculpted button-ups under $100, and cashmere that's held up for years without pilling. I'm showing you what's worth it and what to skip so you can play where you win 🎯@bananarepublic, banana republic blazer, italian wool blazer, single breasted blazer, wool trousers, high rise flare pants, cashmere sweater, cashmere polo, button up shirt, workwear, office style, winter wardrobe, quiet luxury, affordable luxury, capsule wardrobe, maxi dress, wrap coat LTKWorkwear LTKSeasonal LTKFindsUnder100

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 ✨

My silk scarf picks across price points - from Aritzia's surprisingly dense twill to hand-rolled edges at Lost Pattern and Elizabetta. Note: Aritzia skips the hand-rolled edge but delivers on weight and weave.

#LTKootd

My COS picks that give luxury - most tailored pants except the Relaxed Linen-Blend Wide-Leg Pants. Pants are cut close and not curvy, so I recommend sizing up. Most pants have adjustable internal bands so you can cinch the waist and look polished. The knits are superb, and most button ups are outstanding – just stay away from the Longline Linen Shirt and this fabric: 50% linen, 47% rayon, 3% spandex. Their tees are my favorite - they start out perfect and keep their shape after dozens of washes (gentle cycle, air dry).

#LTKootd

My straw bag picks that deliver luxury craftsmanship without the markup, from niche brands to the best of the headliners. Helen Kaminski specializes in raffia – impeccable weave + refined leather straps at half the price of The Row. Pamela Munson nails Khaite’s east-west silhouette. Tuckernuck's bamboo details riff on Loro Piana without copying. Always check trim composition – some $500+ bags use faux leather when the real version costs just $60 more.

#LTKootd

White shirts that nail the CBK details: roomier cuts with sculptural collars that stand on their own, sleeves that stop at the wrist bone. Look for high armholes and fabric with enough structure to style intentionally - not fitted, not precious. And, of course, detachable bra straps for my sleeve roll trick.

#LTKootd

My Sézane spring picks – the suede coat in goat suede with viscose lining outperforms similar jackets at twice the price. Skip the loafers (blobby toe), grab the Josepha sandals, Milano knit cardigans, embroidered blouses, and hand-woven raffia bags. Skip the classic button ups - they're average at best, and too often, the stripes don't align.

#LTKootd

CBK wore three denim styles – and today's Levi's aren't the right starting point. These are the best versions of her distressed flare, dark flare, and carpenter jean, chosen for rise, weight, and drape.

#LTKootd

Embroidered, ruched, and embellished, these Sézane blouses stand out. They're equivalent to tops that cost three times as much, and you can see how the Madewell blouse just does not measure up. I love layering them under my denim shirts, blazers, or chunky cardigans. They're also great with jeans - of course. I just wash in the gentle cycle, then steam them right out of the wash. I don't iron or anything else. Easy. They're fitted. I go with size 4, and I'm 2-4 typically.

25% off all full-priced styles with code FF2025 – preview the Friends & Family sale this weekend. Sale ends 3/11/26. My shoes are TTS – I have the Una and the Lisinda. The M.Gemi bags look better to me than Chloé. Chloé's leather shows strain in the corners (!).

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert

Bags that skip the shortcuts: intentional strap solutions, consistent leather, honest hardware (or none at all). Knowledge democratizes luxury.

#LTKootd

Knit pants that hold their shape: picks from $85, selected for their actual purpose.

#LTKootd

Iconic CBK look: a men's white shirt with a black maxi. Her Yohji Yamamoto men's shirt has a hidden button placket - that's how you get that clean, formal look. It's also a detail that's hard to find in women's shirts, and I'm happy COS has a great one now.

#LTKootd

Love the nipped straight jeans - I have them in size 25. My size in most other brands is 26, but I size down at J.Crew. Also love the vintage flare cut - I have a wash that's OOS.

#LTKootd

Work bags that skip the mid-tier tells: straps designed with intention, consistent leather quality, and honest hardware (or no hardware). These are so good, you’ll want to take them out on the weekends, too.

#LTKootd

Wide-leg sweats worth buying: drape-first picks in pure cotton, and shape-retention picks where the fabric blends are actually doing structural work. Saves are appreciated!

#LTKootd

I love using packing cubes to separate lighter knits from darks - that way, I avoid dark fuzz transferring onto brighter clothes. I also keep a packing cube zipped low when I use them it for my makeup brushes. Of course, it’s great as a catch-all for things like adapters and socks, and I do like to have my hair tools in another packing cube. 🛄 🤍 #quincepartner @onequince 🤍 ponte pants | wide leg pants | travel pants | travel hacks| cashmere cardigan | trench coat | base layers | winter basics | travel wardrobe | capsule wardrobe | Quince cashmere | knit pants | elastic waist pants | layering pieces | modern quiet luxury | airport outfit | packing cubes | suitcase | carryon

I always wear coats/blazers on the plane so the collar doesn’t get crushed. Love the Quince trench coat. The details are all spot-on: gun flap on the right side, removable wrist belts, a proper waist belt with a buckle, and a sculptural collar. I’d size up if you’re between sizes. 🛄 I’m wearing the trench coat in navy S, suede loafers size 8.5 (TTS).

Extra 30% off at The Gap with code GREAT The formula: 2 classic cardigans, one neutral one pastel + slouchy jeans + pointy shoes I'm wearing the Mid Rise UltraSoft Baggy Jeans in size 25. I'm usually a 26 and a 26 in all other Gap denim styles. The M.Gemi shoes are TTS,. Outer cardigan: Quince cashmere, size S. Inner light blue cardigan: J.Crew size XS.

#LTKootd

Collapsible sneakers worth your money – gathers that fan cleanly, smooth lining against the ankle, and a back that actually cups your heel. Skip the ones with horizontal sags no matter the price.

The wrap method eliminates that sharp 180° fold. Long items go in first, flat against the sides, then wrap around everything else for soft corners instead of hard creases. Game changer for silk and maxi skirts. 🛄 I’m wearing the structured cardigan in ivory S, trench coat navy S, suede loafers size 8.5 (TTS), ponte pants XS (I have the 32” inseam and had to hem it; I recommend the 30” for flats).

The compression system on this carry-on keeps clothes from bunching and wrinkling during travel. Plus a breathable laundry bag, smooth 360° wheels, and YKK zippers - all the features that actually matter. 🛄 I’m wearing the structured cardigan in ivory S, trench coat navy S, suede loafers size 8.5 (TTS), ponte pants XS (I have the 32” inseam and had to hem it; I recommend the 30” for flats).

The simple packing mistake that ruins your clothes before you even arrive: folding in half ✈️I use the wrap method - long items like pants and maxi skirts go in first, flat, so the full width is on the long side. Everything else packs in the center, then the long layers wrap around for soft corners, no hard creases. ✈️ A few more things I swear by: light-colored packing cubes are easier to spot in a dark suitcase. Ponte is a knit construction, so it doesn't wrinkle like woven fabrics do. And I always wear my trench on the plane so the collar roll doesn't get crushed in the bag. 🛄 I’m wearing the structured cardigan in ivory S, trench coat navy S, suede loafers size 8.5 (TTS), ponte pants XS (I have the 32” inseam and had to hem it; I recommend the 30” for flats).

I'm wearing the nipped straight jean in size 25 - I size down from my usual 26 in J.Crew. The Cosmo pants in the bottom left are size XS. I have the dreamy cotton-blend pajama short set in XS.

#LTKootd

Work bags that prioritize clean edge finishing and quality leather over flashy hardware - from Madewell’s $188 steal to Oroton’s Margo, plus canvas classics like the LL Bean Boat and Tote and a NY Public Library carryall. Skip bags with gimmicky locks trying to mimic Hermès; look for smooth edges and honest leather instead.

#LTKootd

Great trench coats that understand gun flap placement - the detail that seals the button closure from rain. Look for the flap on your LEFT shoulder (women's coats button right-over-left), or skip it entirely.

#LTKootd

Sale ends 2/19! Ring Concierge offers excellent-grade cuts on their round diamonds, which means max sparkle. I stopped by their store to check the clasps myself, and they're secure + smooth to handle. The freshwater pearls looked round & plump in person – they can vary a lot depending on the seller.

#LTKootd

I love COS pieces I've gotten over the years, especially a super soft leather bag. This bowler looks like the same leather - satiny and supple, it reflects light beautifully. And this bag looks a lot like the new Faye bag from The Row. Their cashmere triangle scarves sell out quickly, and for good reason; their cashmere stays looking new wear after wear. A lot to love.

#LTKootd

Car coats and Balmacaans skip the gun flap entirely - cleaner details with the same polished presence as trenches. Look for sculptural collars and cotton or wool. A bit of nylon (20%) helps repel water and adds crispness. I'm also including a BR Factory option that's good for the price if you're unsure whether this silhouette will actually work for you.

#LTKootd

Suede loafers from $84 to $1,400—vamp contouring, heel counter structure, and stitch precision matter more than the price tag. Italian sheep suede at $84 with full leather lining vs luxury with inconsistent stitching. Know what to look for.

#LTKootd

Glove-soft leathers, rich suedes in shapes that cradle the foot – they add a bit of refined sensuality to wide jeans without even trying.
