I'm From LA but Live in NYC—Here Are the Summer Staples I've Always Bought
While over the last four-or-so years I’ve been lucky enough to call “The Big Apple” home, let’s not forget that I’m an LA girl at heart. In fact, the city where I spent the first twenty-four years of my life is among the most impactful influences on my style to date and still shapes the way I dress regardless of the occasion, location, or season. Of course, I’ve had to make more than a handful of adjustments in order to comfortably adapt to life in NYC, but that balance is just what I’d like to highlight here today.
Though there have been non-practical pieces I’ve had to give up in recent years such as uncomfortable shoes and non-functional bags, I’ve also come to realize that certain fashion staples transcend all other factors, including where you reside. To see, read about, and shop those which always have and always will be in my summer wardrobe, no matter where I’m living, just keep scrolling.
Whether it's simple tanks or more involved styles, I've found that classic, white tops are not only always summer-ready, but the ones I've bought tend to stay in my rotation year after year, too.While my preferred length for denim shorts has varied over the years—with longer styles taking priority over short cut-offs this time around—the staple's place in my wardrobe has remained constant.In LA, a lightweight bag for summer was purely a matter of aesthetics. In NYC, however, it's not just about looking the part—lighter bags are more functional for leisurely walking around and going from place to place without a car, too.Since I already tend to prefer shorts and pants over dresses, when I do buy them, I make sure to stick to fuss-free and comfortable styles so that I'm more inclined to end up wearing them. To me, classic swimwear is anything that you won't get sick of wearing by the time the following summer rolls around. Thankfully, there are endless, non-boring options out there that check that box.Opting for minimalist sandals is another choice that has multiple benefits. Since they're simple, you'll use them year after year, but they'll also pair well with more of your other wardrobe staples and can even be the comfier option when you stick to styles with fewer extraneous embellishments.
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...
