Do you have a piece of clothing you always reach for, that makes you feel the most like yourself? Curious about \u201chero\u201d pieces, I asked six women what they wear the most\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 2019, I needed a small bag for a formal wedding, but I didn\u2019t want to buy something that would work only<\/em> for fancy events. This crossbody bag<\/a> was perfect because it doubles as a simple clutch if you remove the strap. You can also wear it higher or lower on your body, depending on your outfit. I\u2019ve now worn it to several weddings, to run errands, even on hikes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThis Target x Reese Blutstein denim shirt<\/a> is perfectly broken in and just the right amount of baggy. It can be spruced up with a gold chain or dressed down with a baseball cap. I always feel like myself when I\u2019m wearing it \u2014 relaxed, self-possessed and utilitarian. It\u2019s no longer available at Target, but you can find it on Poshmark<\/a> and eBay<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

\u201cI got the Henri blouse by D\u00f4en<\/a> during their Hand Me D\u00f4en secondhand sale<\/a>, and I wear it all<\/em> the time. The semi-sheer fabric and delicate lace gives it a floaty, ethereal vibe. As a new mom, I often default to athleisure, but I\u2019ve found that taking time to choose an outfit that reflects my personal style is an act of self-care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Muarmus<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThis cotton midi skirt<\/a>, from a Korean brand called Muarmus<\/a>, carries me from summer to winter, plus all the awkward weather months in between. The double lining gives it volume and shape, so it\u2019s a little more interesting than your average white skirt.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLike Diane Keaton\u2019s character in Something\u2019s Gotta Give<\/a>, I love a turtleneck. This gray one was from my mother (it\u2019s from Coldwater Creek<\/a>, which is so mom), and I wear it to casual dates, bridal showers, and Zoom meetings. Remember how \u201990s magazines made everyone very concerned about \u2018day-to-night\u2019 outfits? A versatile sleeveless turtleneck can actually do<\/em> that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy twin sister<\/a>, who\u2019s a doctor, scolded me a couple years ago for not wearing sunglasses and protecting my eyes. I immediately ordered a pair of Warby Parker\u2019s Carrick frames<\/a> with light-responsive frames \u2014\u00a0meaning, they darken into sunglasses as soon as I step outside. The classic shape works with every outfit, and now I don\u2019t know how I lived without them!\u201d<\/p>\n

Which piece of clothing do you pull on the most? Let\u2019s inspire each other!<\/strong><\/p>\n
