6 Important Pieces a Fashion Designer Prioritizes to Look Chic

Given my heightened interest in fashion (comes with the territory as a fashion editor), I’m invariably intrigued by the closet staples various people in my life swear by to inspire my own wardrobe and potentially yours as well throughout the content I create. On that note, while spending time at home recently, I caught up with Elisa Dahan, the co–chief creative office for Mackage (known for its A+ outerwear and accessories). Naturally, I had to ask her exactly what I just mentioned—the items she wears to look chic in her day-to-day (including for those more dressed-up WFH looks at the moment).

Given that she’s worked in the fashion industry for years, building Mackage from the ground up with founder Eran Elfassy and personally adores clothes and the latest trends, her fashion priority list was particularly intriguing.

Without further ado, keep scrolling to check out just a sampling of the spring and summer items Dahan swears by for her forward looks, complete with some previous street style imagery of fashion girls for inspiration. And if you’re currently shopping, you’ll also find product recommendations that may be of interest.

“I love that a hoodie can be styled with basically anything and can frankly be dressed up or down. Our Krys hoodie is incredibly versatile.”
“A good classic blazer can be worn on top of anything—jeans, a minidress, and so on. It just adds sophistication to any look without effort.”
“I feel great when I have a great piece of outwear on—it completes and elevates any look. Our Esme jacket lifts up any outfit.”
“A statement shoe elevates a look. You can wear a T-shirt and jeans, and a statement shoe will change the perception of your outfit.”
“I love pouches like the Bottega Veneta pouch. It’s my go-to bag with every look. Just works.”
“Sneakers, like those from Golden Goose, give a break to my feet but not my look. Casual and cool.”

Next, check out the new generation of fashion-girl basics.

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...
