1: Hooded Interliner
“This vest is one of my favorite layering pieces because it fits so naturally into my wardrobe. The charcoal gray makes it really easy to pair with my monotone looks or even with patterns, so it gives me a lot of styling options. I also love the side ties—you can adjust them, which means I can throw it over a jacket or even wear it under a shirt and just let the hood peek out. It’s such a simple piece, but it adds that extra touch to a look, and that’s what I really like about it.”
2: EG Workaday Fatigue Pants
“I’ve been wearing these pants for 15 years. I love how the color has faded after so many washes, and even the little detail of changing the button thread to red has made them feel unique to me. They’ve been with me everywhere—from trips to work—so they’ve become a pair I’m really attached to. I actually own two more of the same style, and I switch between different sizes and fabrics depending on how I’m styling them. I also enjoy wearing them in other colors and materials, and part of the fun is seeing how they age over time while continuing to shape my own style.”
3: Engineered Garments Ivy Blazer
“Whenever I put on this Ivy Blazer, it takes me back to my days working in Tokyo and makes my heart skip a beat. Ivy style was such a big trend at the time, and I still remember when the lead actress in a drama wore a similar blazer — the phones at the store where I worked wouldn’t stop ringing. That energy and atmosphere of the time always remind me of how obsessed I was with fashion back then. Back in those days I preferred a just-right fit, but now I love the ease of wearing it oversized for a more relaxed look. The Ivy Blazer in uniform serge feels timeless, yet still brings a sense of freshness every time I wear it.”
4: Engineered Garments Rounded Collar Shirt
“This shirt is one of the pieces in my leopard collection. I love the combination of the round collar with the ribbon detail and the leopard print, which gives it a bit of a retro vibe. Because of the leopard, it doesn’t feel too sweet, so right now I like pairing it with more masculine trousers. Just buttoning the top button gives it a completely different look, and since it’s on the longer side, I also like layering it so a little of it peeks out. That mix of elegance and playfulness is what makes this shirt so special to me.”
5: Engineered Garments Banded Collar Dress
“What I really like about this dress is the length—it balances so well when I layer it over pants or even with a skirt. The fringe looks almost plain from far away, but when you get closer the details stand out in such a subtle, interesting way that makes it easy to style. Because it’s not too loud, it goes with so many things, and I especially love wearing it in black and navy—it feels chic but still has depth.”
