I Live in a "Smaller" City and Swear By This 17-Piece Simple Capsule Wardrobe

I moved to Boston last year after spending quite some time in New York City and Los Angeles. And while Beantown is certainly larger than a lot of cities, it is a bit smaller than what I’ve been used to. It also isn’t necessarily one of the “fashion capitals” compared to N.Y.C. or L.A. But like just about anywhere, there still is a major element of style in the city. As a result, I personally like to bring it with my sartorial choices whenever I’m in the mood. But while those eclectic looks do make it into my rotation, it’s the more basic ensembles that make up my day to day to stay comfortable yet chic. So naturally, I get the most out of those simple, elevated pieces. In fact, after going through my closet, there’s really about 17 items I truly couldn’t live without as they can be mixed and match to create my go-to fits. And thus, my capsule wardrobe was born.

Interested in the essentials that make up my Boston wardrobe? Keep scrolling to check out my capsule wardrobe, complete with six outfit ideas (although more could have been created) that would really work for anyone thanks to their versatility—no matter what city you reside in.

White Tee + Moto Jacket + Joggers + Sunglasses + Sneakers

I’d basically consider this my go-to off-duty uniform featuring trending joggers and other casual staples like a white tee, moto jacket, and sneakers.

Cardigan + Turtleneck + Trench Coat + Jeans + Loafers + Sunglasses + Crossbody Bag

For a more polished low-key fit, a layered ensemble with a cardigan and turtleneck looks A+ with jeans and loafers. While I’m into a trench right now, just about any outerwear piece would work here.

Trench Coat + Turtleneck + Vest + Leather Trousers + Loafers

A current vest over a turtleneck is sophisticated yet forward. Leather trousers also add dimension here, but a standard pair of black pants would work as well with loafers.

Button-Down + Cardigan + Skinny Jeans + Ankle Boots

For a professional but semi toned-down ensemble, sleek jeans like black skinnies team well with a button-down and cardigan.

Vest + Leather Trousers + Crossbody Bag + Sneakers

I’m into this look, but I also recommend it to my friends: a trendy vest with leather trousers and sneakers.

Button-Down + White Tee + Moto Jacket + Skinny Jeans + Ankle Boots

A moto jacket will add that edge to any look—including this denim fit.

Next, check out the shoes you should own if you live in basic jeans.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

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...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

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...
