“My corduroy jacket from Trademark. I have only had it for a few months, but I wonder how I have lived without it for so long! Pookie, Louisa, please make it in every color!”

“My number one wardrobe workhorse is a long black slip dress from Apiece Apart. I wear it layered over tights and a turtleneck in winter, and on its own with clogs all summer long; I’ve dressed it up for cocktail parties and used it as an insta-chic cover-up at the beach. And now that the slip dress is the fashion item du jour, I expect I’ll be wearing that dress even more . . . ”

“My vintage Levi’s that I made at the Eureka lab! They fit me better than anything else I own, making them both comfortable yet indicative of when I have had too many helpings!”

“I’m grateful sneakers are now considered office-appropriate shoes. I wear my Stan Smiths pretty much every other day to work at this point.”

“I’m grateful for my mother’s fox fur jacket, which I unearthed a few years ago in our ski closet. ‘Who would wear that?’ my very practical and subtly dressed sister asked, at which point my mom and I exchanged knowing glances. Since making its way into my own closet, it has kept me incomparably warm, made dressing for frigid weather feel like an opportunity rather than a sentence, and, best of all, continued to remind me of her . . . She always had a way of looking out for my best interest.”

“This is a hard call for me; my fold-up Ray-Ban Wayfarers are without a doubt my most worn, and among my most prized articles of clothing. But based solely on the fact that I finally triumphed over a difficult break-in period, I’m giving this one to my Church’s Sally loafers. After searching high and low for a classic style, these have become a staple of my wardrobe.”

“My grandmother’s full-length mink coat. It was custom-made for her but she wore it only twice. It was given to me years later in mint condition. I think of her every time I wear it through the brutal winter months. She’s keeping me warm.”

“I finally bought the Saint Laurent Sac de Jour bag that I’ve been coveting for quite some time and it’s definitely my go-to bag. It’s great for just about any occasion, plus, I broke my all-black-everything cycle with this bag.”

“I have a Rick Owens leather jacket—asymmetric zip, sleeve pocket, all relatively straightforward for RO. Besides being the most worn item in my closet, it has added sentimental value: The late Louise Wilson once said to me at London Fashion Week, ‘What is this? The leather quality is horrible. But it looks good on you.’ ”

“My Levi’s 701s—the high-waisted, wide-legged cut that Marilyn Monroe memorably wore while lifting weights—and I are virtually inseparable. In summer, they’re sufficiently ventilated to keep me cool on an overheated subway platform; in winter, they’re forgiving enough to allow for a set of thin thermals underneath. I dress them up with a silk blouse and Saint Laurent kitten heels for the office, or go era-appropriate with a 1950s sweatshirt from Stock Vintage. Invariably they’re in my suitcase whenever I visit my sister in Florida—and just as often she asks why I’ve packed anything else.”

“This year, and every year, I’m thankful for my do-it-all leopard coat. It dresses up jeans and a tee, chills out a cocktail dress, and—most importantly—keeps me warm all winter long.”

“I have a black long-sleeved Zara dress with slightly poufed shoulders, a nipped-in waist, and gently flared skirt that has been mistaken not once but twice for Lanvin. I discovered it two years ago in Georgetown and have since relied on it for dozens of parties. I think the secret is the thick, stretchy material; the top half sucks you in while the bottom half arcs away from the body, so it’s one of the most flattering—and comfortable—items I own. The fact that I’ve never seen anyone else wearing it—a true feat of high-street shopping—makes it that much more special.”

“I have a pair of heeled boots from Topshop that I wear almost every day. I actually didn’t even buy them; somebody gave them to me. They’re something I’m genuinely grateful for because finding walkable and versatile shoes is essential, especially in New York.”

“My older brother’s hand-me-down motocross jersey, emblazoned with our family name, acts as the perfect thermal under jumpers or tucked into high-waisted Topshop micro shorts.”

“The cropped Wrangler jean jacket from the late ’60s/early ’70s that I pulled from the depths of a gigantic bin at a vintage wholesaler in St. Louis circa 2002 has remained my most prized wardrobe staple ever since. It goes with everything—over summer dresses, as a layer under heavier coats—and is the perfect shade of medium blue with an incredible fade. I once had it draped over my shoulders on a boat in Nassau and a gust of wind nearly blew it off into the Caribbean. It didn’t go overboard, but I have a distinct memory of playing out the consequences of that possibility in my head—and deciding with zero hesitation that I’d go in after it.”

“I’m thankful for a classic Basic Bitch staple: my black Theory blazer. It’s been there for me through five years, three jobs, and one pregnancy; with leather leggings, jeans, studded heels, and moto boots; at the airport, the club, and big meetings. I love you, dear, sweet blazer.”
