Roni on LTK

COS has been studying Khaite and The Row for years, and the result: cashmere sweaters with those same details in yarns that withstand pilling. It's the best cashmere on the high street, and it sells out. Here's early access.

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 ✨

#LTKWorkwear

My top test for flats: contoured toe boxes, no rushed stretched out leather, no visible inner structure. And my picks from Quince, Tony Bianco, Mango, and Madewell up to Manolo Blahnik. One bonus tip: in satin, only go fully structured like the J.Crew pair; soft satin flats telegraph every ridge of the inner layers. I have (and love) the cap toe flats from Dear Frances, the Una from M.Gemi, the full grain leather flats from Haven Well Within, and the minimal flats from COS.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

When Mango gets tweeds right, it's outstanding. Both the blends and the cuts are so much better than those hyped $500 tweeds. I'll add pieces that go with them, including J.Crew's Cosmo pants are my pick as an alternative to the flowy satin pants we're seeing. They're breathable, and the sheen looks smooth. Size down (I'm a size 26 in jeans, but I wear an XS in these pants).

Fall's biggest It-bag is the soft flap bag. Chanel's version is decidedly more ladylike than a messenger (see flap shape, handle attachment). Here are my picks with creative details. Coach keeps edges thin partly by skipping a glazed lining and sticking to one compartment. Massimo Dutti's got oversized stitches that remind me of Fendi's Selleria series. Vestirsi gives a soft, luscious leather, and the hardware has a mirror-like finish. These all sing in the same choir as Chanel, they're not doing a karaoke version of Chanel – which I definitely appreciate.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKWorkwear

Wide-leg and flare jeans that I am loving – cuts that give long lines, washes that look natural, waistbands that are stitched clean. Last minute Nordstrom's sale picks, too! I am wearing: Frame The Swing (wide flares with an awkward length). AYR The Secret Sauce in Hero Baby (light wash wide-leg jeans for flats), AYR The Secret Sauce in a dark wash that's OOS (dark wash wide-leg jeans for heels, Underground Hustle is closest wash), Gap Stride Wide Leg Jeans (I disagree - they have a bit of flare), Mango Sienna in espresso (cropped flare, brown OOS but they have black)

#LTKootd

Ballet flats that respect the craft: close contour, smooth construction, no shiny streaks. I have (and love) the cap toe flats from Dear Frances, the Una from M.Gemi, the full grain leather flats from Haven Well Within, and the minimal flats from COS.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Bags (and one wallet) that pass my glazing checklist: thin, even edges with no drips or glops, even where they bend. Coach keeps edges thin partly by skipping a glazed lining and sticking to one compartment, and The Horse proves $240 can hold its own next to The Row, not to mention out-finish the $4,590 Balenciaga. My Quince bag looks great after a few months of heavy wear. There are pin-sized scrapes at the corners, and that is it. I'm also including some small leather goods where edge finish makes a huge impact because everything is so small – there's nowhere to hide errors. shoulder crossbody bag, crossbody bag, bucket bag, bag, ruffled bag, leather, massimo dutti, shoulder bag, Tote, shopper tote, vintage

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Mango's best category: outerwear. My Mango coats and jackets get tons of compliments, and I just feel good in them, from tweeds to linen to trenches. I have too many of these in my cart now!

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Summer-into-fall pieces that hold up to the construction checks from my video: Gap jeans that measure remarkably close to Khaite's Dane, an Aritzia silk scarf that's denser than Hermès, full grain leather flats that give The Row for under $150, and G.H.Bass loafers that beat Prada on build.

Love these Frame jeans! TTS: I'm in a 26, my usual size, and I'm 5'7" (170cm). The length is perfect on me and would be great as a crop if you're taller. If you're shorter, you may need to hem them or pin the back (pinch inside the center back, about 2" up from the hem, and pin horizontally with a safety pin). The Polo denim shirt is very fitted. I'm in a size 4. My scarf is vintage Hermès.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

These wide-leg jeans end up being too long for a crop on me but too short for full length. I'm 5'7", and they've got a 28" inseam. That's usually a crop for me, but these also have a lower crotch, so that means we're starting to measure the leg from a lower place. 28" here would be 29" on a tighter cut. I'll crop them – they're a raw hem, so that's easy. I'm in a size 26, my usual size. The Polo denim shirt is very fitted. I'm in a size 4. My scarf is vintage Hermès.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Checklist: 1. sculptural collar 2. substantial button placket (button panel) 3. high armholes for fitted cuts 4. smooth fabric (linen may need to be washed 3-5 times before breaking into softness). Here are my favorite shirts, including that Ralph Lauren compliment magnet in denim. Banana Republic, shirt, Bra Straps, stripe, button-up shirt, shirt, linen, J.

My go-to eye combo - Natasha Denona matte shadow to do a faint wing, Dior for that subtle wet look, VB black eye liner. Today, I skipped mascara, which is great bc you can see it's just the silver eyeliner that pooled under my eye. sephora, mascara, waterproof mascara, eyeshadow, eyeshadow palette, palette, eyeliner, eyeliner brush, waterproof

30% Off Full-Priced and Sale Styles. Ends 7/31. Banana Republic got started as a safari-themed store for travel clothes, and now they're unbeatable for structured pieces like blazers and button ups. That yellow blazer is cut very similarly to a Brunello vest, but Brunello has hardware that drags down the side tie and looks sloppy. Feels great to wear a comfy entrance-making dress and field the compliments with "oh, I got it at Banana!"

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert

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

#LTKootd #LTKActive #LTKSeasonal

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).

It's large enough for your work necessities, and it's cool enough to be your weekend time off bag, too. Great finds from Vince, COS, Reiss, and another favorite: Maison de Sabré, who use full grain leather – the top tier.

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.

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert

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.
