Travel days are their own kind of liminal space—between cities, between routines, between who you were and who you’re showing up as on the other side. And while I don’t dress for a destination, I do dress for the in-between.
This is the uniform I rely on when I want to feel calm, comfortable, and pulled together without overthinking it. The pieces that keep their shape, move when I do, and hold up through delays, detours, and double espressos.
The Foundation: Comfortable. Composed. Ready for Anything.
The Wide Leg Pant
Soft as your favorite sweats but with the silhouette of a clean, tailored trouser. These are the pants I reach for when I want to feel relaxed without looking like I just rolled out of bed.
Introducing the Wide-Leg Pant 28″, an update on our popular Haddon style in our signature DoubleSoft® fabric.
The Blondie
Boxy in the best way. It’s the kind of tee that doesn’t need adjusting, styling, or second-guessing. Just put it on and go.
Lotta Organic Denim Shirt
My layer of choice—lightweight, oversized, and lived-in without looking too casual. I’ve used it as a jacket, a pillow, and a plane blanket. It always pulls its weight.
AGOLDE’s ‘Lotta’ shirt has pointed seams along the yoke that give it a Western-inspired feel. Made from denim blended with organic cotton and lightweight Lyocell, it has a relaxed shape with chest flap pockets and a curved hem that’s longer at the back. Leave a few of snap fastenings undone.
’90s Pinch Waist High-rise Straight-leg Organic Jeans
When I’m not in the mood for soft pants, these come out. High-rise, straight leg, structured but not stiff. The kind of denim that makes you feel instantly more pulled together—even after a red-eye.
The beauty of AGOLDE’s organic ’90s Pinch Waist’ jeans is that they look like a prized vintage pair but have been rigorously tested to ensure a great fit. They have a high-rise waist, straight legs and a retro buttoned fly. Wear them with nearly anything in your wardrobe, from simple tees to chunky sweaters.
Shoes That Don’t Need Explaining
Color-block Mesh & Suede Sneakers
Quietly elevated. The mix of mesh and suede adds depth, but they’re still subtle enough to wear with anything. These are the shoes I can walk miles in and still feel like myself.
The Row models these ‘Owen’ sneakers after classic track styles. They’ve been made in Italy from breathable mesh and accented with smooth suede panels and contrasting green laces that match the soles.
Leather Ballet Flats
Soft, sculpted, and easy to slip on mid-security line. There’s a slight heel and a square toe that give them just enough polish without feeling precious.
These ‘Kirsten’ flats are aeyde’s take on ‘the perfect ballerina’ style, so they’re as distinctive and unique as you’d expect from the brand. Made in Italy from supple leather, they’ve been crafted on an almond-shaped last, molding the softly curved vamps and toes for a slipper-like fit.
The Carry-On: Smart, Structured, and Fully Composed
India leather shoulder bag
Compact but intentional. It holds everything I need and nothing I don’t. Understated and impossibly sleek.
The Row’s ‘India 15.75’ tote is a simple, elegant design that’s perfect for every day. It’s been crafted in Italy from soft leather and has a spacious interior that fits a phone, wallet and book.
Vérité All Day Leather Tote
This one is a workhorse in disguise. Spacious without bulk, beautiful without trying. I can carry everything in it—and somehow, it never looks overstuffed.
Métier’s signature ‘Vérité’ tote is crafted from smooth leather and has braided shoulder straps and an exterior slip pocket with sections to slot your phone and other essentials into. It’s sized to hold everything you need for the day, including a 14″ laptop, water bottle and even a change of clothes.
