Roni on LTK

Banana Republic's cashmere is that quiet win that looks fresh, resists pilling, and gets priced fairly. I will say that my sweaters have gotten more fluffy, but they show surprisingly little pilling considering how much I've worn them. I'm starting here with fall's three most important silhouettes. The V-neck is coming back, which means more options for those of us who've been wondering where these went. The oversized, hip-length crewneck will still be going strong this season, but I wouldn't spend above these prices for it. The neck gets a lot of attention this fall, from funnel neck coats to turtlenecks. These will feel luxurious, and they'll layer over shirts nicely. LTKootd LTKSeasonal LTKSaleAlert

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 ✨

Unfuss your pearls the easy way – layer with a scarf. This look would be beautiful with beads or with chunky chains, too, because the jewelry itself is half showing. It's not that serious. It's also a formula you can repeat when you're in a rush. My scarf is 90cm or 35", and all the scarves here are that size.

My favorite linen button up is Banana Republic's for the fit and the crisp fabric. J.Crew's Baird McNutt Irish linen is softer and has a drapier flow, I also love that one. I'm wearing Gap jeans in a wash that's OOS, but their new washes are great, too. They look a lot like Khaite's Dane jeans ($580), and the measurements are almost identical. I'm in 2.5" heels, and I'm 5'7".

I get compliments every time I wear this denim shirt: it's fitted, so it's a bit unexpected for denim to look dressy, or for a dressy shirt to be in denim. Great collar, high armholes. Size up if you're between sizes.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

The mall picks that surpass hyped brands, no contest: Gap's jeans give Khaite at <$100, J.Crew's updated classics, full-grain leather flats, camel hair at Quince, and long-wearing cashmere & merino from COS and Uniqlo, and Polo's classics. Plus the two comparison winners from the post: Sézane's 100% organic cotton trench at $320 and the COS version of the $1,890 sweater. Read the composition tag first; the Gap elastic-waist pants are the shortcut at the right price, not a tailored garment. LOOK 1: Polo Ralph Lauren denim shirt, Frame Cigarette jeans, HWW flats. LOOK 2: Banana Republic everyday linen shirt, Gap High Rise Stride Wide-Leg Jeans (similar to Khaite Dane). LOOK 3: Quince linen shirt, linen blazer, linen pants. LOOK 4: Quince trench coat, AMO jeans, Uniqlo tee

BR exclude leather, suede, and cashmere from their Friends & Family sale. Here's what I'm loving, including softly gathered loafers that looked flawless in person (online photos show bad ruching on one pair but good on the rest). I love their suede skirts – the suede is rich and even, very velvety, and the execution was excellent in person.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert

The BR x La Ligne collection just dropped with a mix of hits & misses. The tailored pieces are, unfortunately, made with too much polyester in the blend. Instead, the button ups are excellent. The collars have the shape and body I love from BR's shirting. The stripes are aligned and symmetric. The hidden button placket dresses them up, as does the double cuff that you can fold up. They're long enough to have the tails show when layered under generous sweaters or hip-length jackets. They'd be great over tight capris to give you coverage in the back. The bandanas have the wearable stripe patterns that make them easy to style – they go with denim blues and neutrals. The twill weave means they have body, which looks more expensive than comparably priced scarves at J.Crew.

20% off at Scarosso with code RONI20! Soft loafers with the gathers where a moccasin puts them, at the top seam, flat at the sole, all under $300. The leather is less supple than Saint Laurent's, and two of these are on sale, so prices will move.

My favorite tote from Gap's new line, and I love the bandana prints. It all goes back to 1990s Chanel. If you're craving a pop of color, this pattern delivers that joy with more subtlety and sophistication. This pattern has the right scale for the bag so you get the details, but it's not too busy.

Both Burberry and Artizia get the gun flap right. Aritzia gives you the Burberry proportions and the stand collar, and you keep the difference.

30% off at Mango with code MNG30 on purchases >$230. Sézane and Soeur for the Parisian proportions, Quince and Mango for the price. All details correct.

Trench coats with the gun flap handled correctly: on the button side (left for women), doubled, or none at all. Sézane’s Scott and Quince are fitted; size up if you’re in between sizes. I’m wearing size S in all, and I’m 5’7”. Aritzia passes on Finch and the funnel-neck Hemlock, not Davis; Sézane's Jonas and Clyde are single-breasted, so not true trenches but well made. Arnaud takes style cues from Saint Laurent – love.

This coat looks and feels great in person. Here's how I check for symmetry.

#LTKSeasonal #LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert

Size down in the Cosmo pants: I wear size 26 in jeans, and the XS fits me. The S is too big. Sweater is TTS (I'm in a small). My jeans are OOS, but the new version has a rich corduroy tuxedo-style stripe - love. I

Suede is more durable than the internet thinks: brush after wear, two light coats of protector, reapply when water stops beading. The kit is a $7 suede brush and Bickmore Gard-More (Collonil Carbon Pro if you want PFAS-free – repels water well, oil a little less). The Blondo Kisha and La Canadienne Tundra are waterproofed at the tannery, not sprayed – still not for puddles, and the guarantee excludes zippers. Scarosso: code RONI20 for 20% off.

40% off J.Crew ends Sept 7. The Jules cut is more fitted. I wear a size 4, and I recommend sizing up if you're between sizes. J.Crew gets the details right, from collars and cuffs with presence to stripes that have better alignment than far more expensive styles. Love the cinched denim shirt – the cut gives a defined hourglass, and the denim fabric keeps the shape.

#LTKootd #LTKSaleAlert #LTKSeasonal

40% off J.Crew ends Sept 7. Great way to refresh with Julia Roberts' style from the 90s to today. I love the cable knit merino cardigan. I sized down to XS, and I layer it under another cardigan. The cables are defined because merino keeps it sharp, not blobby – that's what I'm looking for. I love a cashmere wrap over a sweater in the same color, and I use a snag-free hair tie to keep the knot in place without pulling on the cashmere.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert

40% off J.Crew ends Sept 7. I usually size down for their jeans from 26 elsewhere to 25 at J.Crew. The Charley Kickout in Eagle Wash reminds me of CBK's 90s Levi's, but updated with today's more relaxed thigh. I loved the Jesse relaxed-straight jeans with that suede strip. The distressing looks natural, and the suede just works. It's the effortless upgrade I'm always looking for.

Gap's proportions in materials that work for real life: the canvas totes that borrow from Khaite and Hermès, the wide-leg jeans that measure nearly identically to Khaite's Dane, and Quince's real suede instead of Gap's vegan version, which doesn't hold up. Sizing notes are on each item; I'm 5'7" and a 26. tote bag, baseball hat, hat, wide leg pants, sweater, straight jeans, high rise, top, wide-leg jeans, baggy jeans, ankle pants, parachute psants, shoulder bag, suede

My fall Uniqlo picks: the EZY jeans (XS) with a soft sweats lining under a real denim face, the merino cardigan (sized up to M) (skip the 70% acrylic blend and the souffle yarn shelved right next to it), the soft yet durable cashmere (S), and the Utility Parka (S) and Barn Short Jacket (S) for structured transitional layering. I’m 5’7” and usually wear size 26 in denim, size 2-4 or a small in the rest.

Suede that's worth it.: shoes. My Quince loafers have insanely beautiful suede for the price. I'd pay 3x as much for them. The lining is smooth, and the insole is cushioned – I've walked hours in them. The Madewell look and feel impressive in person. You can't see the inner reinforcement on them – they're smooth. The Anonymous boots show off the lush suede with their slouch. Really excited for these.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Suede that's worth it. The Mango blazer is 100% goatskin at $430 down from $550 with code EXTRASALE – the better material for a structured blazer, but take the sleeve against the body into daylight before you commit, since shade matching is where this price tier slips. blazer, suede, suede blazer, midi skirt, skirt, trousers, leather coat, coat, loafer, jacket, bomber jacket

Take a 90s icon – the J.Crew Rollneck – and combine it with fall's favorite styling cue from Chanel. I sized down to XS in the tiny rollneck; I'm usually size S. But! I'm small chested. Size up if you're more curvy. I also sized down for the barrel jeans – I'm wearing a 25, but my usual size is 26. I'm 5'7". I'm including striped pants to get the look from the J.Crew catalog. My pearls are from eBay and an old J.Crew style that's OOS. I'm including alternatives here.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

The cotton twill coats have body and drape without bulk, and the leather pieces – goat suede and lambskin lined in viscose – match specs that others sell for two to three times as much. One caveat: check the suede collar points and cuff edges before you cut the tags, because I found one jacket in store with uneven pile at the collar point.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

These are the earthy version of the funnel-neck and quarter-zip shapes everyone's charging multiples for fuzzy mohair and yak blends, generous collars, and on the Juliette, buttons instead of a zipper. The oversized merino styles (Léonard, Théo, Edgar) have real weight and structure, so they can overwhelm a petite frame; the Sophie's fitted bodice is the easier way into the volume. As an alternative to the Virgil, I'm including a Gap chunky cotton sweater with a drop shoulder, substantial collar, and similar waist shape (modern and straight rather than cinched in).

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Sézane's blouses are where the detail work shows up: dense embroidery, generous ruffles, and ruching along the shoulders that gives you real fabric across the bust. Note that several of this season's styles have very voluminous sleeves – beautiful on their own, bulky under a sweater or jacket, so go straight or slim if you layer. Chlo runs fitted; size up if you're between.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Sézane's fall 2026 pieces where the money actually shows up: goat suede and lambskin lined in viscose, cotton twill coats with body and drape, and fuzzy knits in the funnel-neck shapes designers are charging five to twenty times more for. Two caveats before you cut the tags – check suede collar points and cuff edges for uneven pile, because I found one defective jacket in store, and the Basile and Solal bags are split leather, so brush and waterproof them before the first wear. mules, boots, coat, shirt, cardigan, jacket, jumper, blouse, trench coat, bag, dress, sweater

Boots that pass the smooth test, from $100 to $1,650, including Margaux's handmade-in-Spain block heels in narrow, medium, and wide widths, and Quince's rare-under-$200 leather lining. One caveat: at under $200 expect synthetic linings and soles almost everywhere, and I'd skip blobby toe shapes at any price.
