These 5 Outfits Are Getting Me Through Early Winter in NYC

Welcome to Weekday Wardrobe, a series in which one Who What Wear editor or staffer will snap a pic of the outfits they wear from Monday to Friday. We’ll break down where you can shop it all to inspire your own everyday style, no matter what’s on your weekly agenda.

I was recently told I have “classic style,” which, honestly, was news to me. I guess I’ve just gotten a little out of practice with prints and colors over the past few years. I’ll admit that after doing several clean-outs during lockdown, there’s a tiny chance I may have overcorrected and ended up with a wardrobe that’s a bit too curated (if that’s even a thing). But it can be a little tricky to dabble in fun trends when I’ve become so damn picky with what I’ll actually invest in.

As someone who doesn’t let herself buy every trend in sight (though I want to), I’m truly not sure why I never jumped on the fashion-rental bandwagon with everyone else in New York. But yes, I’m aware that I’m very late to the game. That being said, I’ve finally arrived thanks to Ralph Lauren’s new subscription service, The Lauren Look. This past week, I’ve had the fun of doing a trial run, and it was super easy. I went online and picked 10 items to add to my digital “closet,” and I was sent four pieces at a time to return at my leisure. It’s been the perfect excuse to try out some fresh winter looks. It’s a great deal at $125 a month with unlimited deliveries (and no dry cleaning bills), but we’re making it even better by offering a complimentary month through the link above. Here’s everything I wore this past week plus the curation of cute Ralph Lauren items I have lined up to borrow next.
