Like all good things that come to those who wait, curating an enviable wardrobe takes time. There are the pieces you’ve stumbled upon, those you’ve searched high and low for, and the ones with stories of their own that you’ve inherited. They become markers of the places you’ve visited and the people you’ve met, of who you were when they first came into your life—and, ultimately, the building blocks of a personal style that is entirely your own.
These are the things that give a closet its provenance and mark the difference between simply wearing clothes and having a point of view. They transcend trends, can feel newly relevant each time they’re rediscovered, and gather more meaning as they move through different chapters—and, in some cases, generations.
