Shopping makes up 80% of my life mostly because it's my job, but I also can't deny the boost of serotonin I get when I find an item of clothing I know will transcend current trends and become an everyday staple in my wardrobe. But there's still a lot of sifting through the internet that goes on before I get there.
The pieces I always choose to incorporate into my daily looks can ultimately be styled with anything from a pair of classic jeans to a simple white tee. Finding new pieces that embrace this ethos is a robust routine that has become a little less daunting thanks to MOTF. The brand's newest City Chic collection houses some seriously effortless and sophisticated pieces, and it's a treasure trove of classics, especially when shopping for the warmer seasons. Think breathable and lightweight fabrics, like pure silk and natural linen, in chic silhouettes that won't be out of style next season. Below are 15 of my current favorites, and you really shouldn't miss out on them for summer.
