I Live in NYC and Swear By This 5-Piece Basics Capsule Wardrobe
Lainy Hedaya Hoffstein is the fashionable force behind Haute Inhabit, an NYC fashion and lifestyle blog. She's also the owner of her namesake Instagram account, which has garnered over 181,000 followers and counting. She's known for her chic style, which we would describe as quintessentially New York, albeit with a modern and minimalist spin. (Think dark neutrals and elevated basics with a few statement-making pieces thrown into the mix.) As a blogger who lives and works in New York, she knows how to marry fashion and function, curating outfits that are comfortable enough to wear while trekking all over the city yet look photo-ready, too.
Recently, Hedaya posted her suggestions for the five pieces everyone needs in order to build a capsule wardrobe. We loved her suggestions, which is why we're now sharing them with you. So whether you're trying to adopt a minimalist lifestyle or looking for a new fashion uniform, these pieces are the ones that will become the base of your wardrobe. Keep scrolling to see them all.
Here's what Hedaya Hoffstein posted in response to one of her followers. The five basic pieces you need to have a perfect capsule wardrobe, she says, are a pair of mid-heel black pumps, an oversize black blazer, high-waisted black denim, a white or black turtleneck, and a black midi dress. Black pumps are one of the best and most basic pieces of any wardrobe. In other words, they're a staple. Wear them with denim, and you look effortlessly elevated. Wear them with a dress, and you look polished and elegant. Choose "too high of a heel, and you can't walk anywhere," Hedaya says. Choose "too flat, and you're not elevated. Manolo Blahnik makes good pumps." An oversize blazer is another staple piece in creating a capsule wardrobe due to its exceptional versatility. Seriously, it can be styled with just about any shoes, pants, skirts, or accessories. "An oversize blazer can be belted very sexy or worn with a more casual look," Hedaya says. "A fitted blazer doesn't have the same effect." The next item you need to create your capsule wardrobe, according to Hedaya Hoffstein, is a pair of high-waisted black jeans. "Black denim goes with anything and is super underrated," she says. "Blue denim is always associated with casual, so you're limited to color and formality." Why high-waisted denim, specifically? Hedaya says she prefers high-rise jeans because they make booties, another classic wardrobe staple, look better. Next up is the classic turtleneck. In true New Yorker fashion, Hedaya Hoffstein suggests sticking to neutrals with a white or black turtleneck. "A turtleneck is both functional and chic. It makes any jawline look better and keeps you warm. It also looks better as a layer because there is more to it." When it comes to the final item in a five-piece capsule wardrobe, Hedaya Hoffstein names a black midi dress. "I say midi because sometimes you don't want to (or can't) be sexy, or you haven't shaved your legs," she says. "We always talk about the LBD, but I think a midi is more functional and elegant."
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
