Roni on LTK

My tank winners, $25 – $125: the everyday workhorses from the post (COS, Aritzia, Uniqlo, Buck Mason, Flore Flore) plus the specialty cuts that didn't fit, cropped, extra-fitted, and pointelle. Notes on each: the COS runs sporty, the Aritzia fits tighter than COS but isn't bodycon, and the Uniqlo has the bra built in. Organic basics and Tankair have more of a snatched fit. No logo tax anywhere. LTKootd LTKSeasonal

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 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.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

Gap just launched bags from ex-Coach designer Reed Krakoff. Here are my favorites. backpack, tote, bandana, bag

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.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert

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.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

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

I wear J.Crew's freshwater pearl necklace often. I like the gold finish they use, too. Leave it to J.Crew to balance classic with updated – styles we actually reach for at a price that makes sense. pearl earrings, earrings, pearl necklace, necklace, chain bracelet, bracelet, hoops

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.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert

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.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKSaleAlert

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

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

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.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

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

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

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

My own personal favorites and the winners with contoured toe boxes, no rushed stretched out leather, no visible inner structure. 25% off my soft flats from Haven Well Within! Size down if you're between sizes.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

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.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKTall

The jacket is size S, my usual. The sleeves are fitted, so size up for more roomie sleeves. The Amo jeans are TTS and long enough for 3" heels on me (I'm 5'7"). My COS belt is OOS in black, so I added alternatives.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKWorkwear

The jacket is size S, my usual. The sleeves are fitted, so size up for more roomie sleeves. My Frame jeans remind me of CBK's 90s Levi's with their subtle flare + easy fit around the thighs. I always feel great in them. TTS.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKWorkwear

My silk scarf picks across price points, from Aritzia's surprisingly dense twill (heavier than Hermès scarves) to hand-rolled edges at Lost Pattern and Elizabetta. I love COS' silk scarves – they've got a substantial feel, and the colors/patterns are on point. The Met's prints come from the same historical artworks that inform a lot of luxury scarves, so why not go for the source? Note: Aritzia skips the hand-rolled edge but delivers on weight and weave.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal

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

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.

#LTKootd #LTKSeasonal #LTKMidsize

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).
