I'm a 56-Year-Old New Yorker, and I Know These Basics Will Be a Hit This Year

There are a few New Yorkers we consistently turn to for top-notch style inspiration, and yep, Elaine Davis is one of them. The 56-year-old influencer is often a go-to because she always posts outfit ideas that are chic and easy to fit within her on-the-go lifestyle. And while age should clearly have nothing to do with your sartorial choices, her over-50 fashion point of view is also of interest given that she's spent time over the years really crafting her version of the ideal wardrobe. With that in mind, we thought it could be intriguing to uncover the versatile pieces she plans on incorporating into her closet this year.

While Davis certainly opts for trend pieces, she builds a lot of her A+ looks with basics, so we wanted to focus on that category specifically. "Elevated basics are the cornerstone of my wardrobe throughout the year," she said. "They work amazingly alone and also have the ability to pull an outfit together. Each season, I'll sprinkle in the current trends that I'm loving to freshen up my wardrobe.”

Keep scrolling to check out the stylish basics this New Yorker thinks will be a hit this year, complete with visual and shopping inspo.

"Knits are my quintessential item of clothing, and knit sets are pulling double duty these days as loungewear also. I find the perfect combination of comfort and chic in them."—Davis
"A great fitting blazer is the glue that holds my wardrobe together, hands down. They're timeless and I style them with my trendy pieces as well as my classic ones."
"I love a neutral colored coat, and one with a unique twist is even better."
"Denim skirts have been one of my go-to pieces ever since I was a teenager. I love how seasonless they are. I own variety of styles, from pencil and A-line to asymmetrical." 
"Hoodies have joined the basics category, and I couldn't be happier. They're not just for wearing with sweatpants and jeans anymore, they're being worn with everything now. I love pairing mine with standout pieces for an elevated look."
"I always keep a few printed dresses in my closet. Whether it's a maxi in the summer or midi in the fall, they're the no-fail pieces that get me out the door and looking chic in minutes."

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...
