Introducing the Ultimate Anti-Trend NYC Wardrobe, Thought I'd Share
Watching Pretend It’s a City is like taking a trip to NYC without leaving your couch, which is probably why I flew through the entire series from start to finish in the span of two days. The show dives into conversations between New Yorkers Fran Lebowitz and Martin Scorcese, and it’s like being within earshot of a candid, captivating dinner party convo that you can't help but tune into. Needless to say, I’m a big fan and I’m telling everyone I know to watch it right away.
What was as good as the witticisms Fran Lebowitz sprinkled in throughout the show were her amazing outfits. Her style is just so good in a really classic New York way and it hasn’t changed much throughout the past 50 years. Decidedly anti-trend, she has a strong personal sense of style and has stuck to staples like straight-leg jeans, cowboy boots, and slightly upsized coats and blazers for as long as she's lived in NYC. Her wardrobe is living proof that a timeless capsule wardrobe can actually work for the span of many decades. Ahead, I'm taking a look at the key pieces Fran Lebowitz wears again and again that define her epic NYC wardrobe.
Up until last year, I never owned an oversize blazer and now I'll never go without one. Clearly, Fran Lebowitz was keyed into just how essential this piece is and has been wearing one for decades. Truth be told, it's one of the most-worn pieces in my closet that I pair with everything from mini dresses to sweatsuits.Who knew cowboy boots were such a versatile shoe? While they were certainly a trend a few years back, this outfit is proof that they have a much longer shelf-life than just one season.If you haven't already heard, oversize button-down shirts are set to be one of the biggest trends this spring. They were all over the S/S 21 runways at brands including Valentino and The Row. This outfit is just another reason to add one to your arsenal.Knit polos are one of the biggest trends to emerge in the last year and Lebowitz was clearly an early adopter. If you've been on the fence, here's even further proof that this is a timeless staple.Jean trends—like the current uptick in baggy denim—come and go, but you can always rely on a straight-leg silhouette. They read as sophisticated and polished because they take on the shape of classic pants. Look for a medium-to-dark wash without any rips or holes, which is easiest to dress up or down.Whether you opt for a sweater or a sweatshirt, look for a crewneck shape with a slightly relaxed fit. An endlessly versatile layering piece, you can wear one layered over a button-down, tied around your shoulders, or on its own with jeans.A trench coat is something you can add to your closet that is as practical as it is stylish. You can't go wrong with a shade of tan or beige. Take a styling note from Lebowitz and try a long, slouchy version or buy it in one size up for a relaxed fit.Suiting is the trend that gets reinvented each season—and for good reason. There are so many cool takes on pantsuits that you're bound to find a cool, tailored one that will fit seamlessly into your wardrobe.Shop the matching Woven Pants ($190) and Twill Vest ($130).Shop the matching Straight Suit Pants ($100)Round sunglasses are a classic silhouette that become even more timeless when they're finished in tortoiseshell. You can throw these on with just about anything.A must-buy piece for any New Yorker? A great tailored coat. It's the winter wardrobe essential that you'll continue to get mileage out of year after year.
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...
