The Pieces We've Been Wearing for 7 Years Straight
Imagine you have the chance to step inside a fashion editor’s closet. What would you find? There’s no doubt you’d spot some of the season’s biggest trends like leopard jeans, chain-link necklaces, and ’80s silhouettes—which we have all been quick to adopt this fall. But what about pieces that have been in their closets for years and years?
This is exactly what I asked my fellowBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing editors to share, and I found out exactly which closet staples they have been wearing for almost a decade. Managing editor Michelle Scanga has been layering on a sentimental piece of jewelry since she received it on her 21st birthday. Fashion editor Lauren Eggertsen and assistant editor Anna LaPlaca both agree that Converse sneakers are essentials that deserve a permanent place in their wardrobes. As for my most loved closet staple? I can’t stop wearing an investment bag I picked up in Paris when I lived there years ago. Scroll on to see and shop all of our editors’ closet staples, which you’re sure to spot each of them wearing again very soon.
“I’m from San Diego, so it was pretty much a requirement to own a pair of Vans sneakers growing up (specifically the Authentic style). I’ve had blue, gray, and white versions over the years.”
“I’m not sure of the exact year I bought this jacket, but it’s been in my closet a really long time. I love that it’s on the thicker side, so I can get away with wearing it when it’s actually cold outside, which can’t be said for many leather jackets on the market.”
"Finally, I’ve always had great black pumps in my closet in some iteration. Since these are shoes, some have fallen apart over the years, past the point of a cobbler’s help. This is just Wholesale Replica Bag iteration of sleek black heels I’ve purchased that I plan to wear for a very, very long time.”
