Keep scrolling to shop Gayot's favorites, including the pants she's wearing every weekend and the It sweater that will make any look feel even chicer.
Roll-Neck Sweater
"This season, we reimagined our most loved knit: the J.Crew Rollneck. It's an iconic sweater from the late '80s that has stood the test of time for both its versatility and distinct character. We subtly tweaked the fit for 2025 so its easier to wear for the modern woman—a more relaxed fit, less boxy and slightly shorter, finished with a ribbed trim at the neck and cuff. It looks amazing dressed up with an oxford layered under and a pencil skirt or super cool dressed down with oversize trousers or a great pair of jeans." — Gayot
Painter Pants
"I have been wearing these on the weekend with a white tee or tank and flat sandals while it's still warm out and during the week with heels and our brown suede bomber jacket. Inspired by classic carpenter styles, this piece adds a little bit of fashion but is still super versatile." — Gayot
T-Strap Pumps
"I'll never say no to a longer leg. This shoe is incredibly flattering and really comfortable. They add just the right amount of height and [are] great for work or evenings." — Gayot
Pleated Prep Skirt
"It's so versatile and chic! It can look preppy schoolgirl or classic lady, and it goes with just about everything. We styled it on the cover of our fall 2025 catalog on Dree Hemingway with a great merino striped knit and cropped leather bomber jacket. If you wanted the style to sit low on your hips, you could size up to add to the cool factor." — Gayot
J.Crew Cashmere
"The Perfect Cashmere Crewneck, Cashmere Relaxed Sweater-Vest , and Cashmere High V-Neck Sweater are all three new shapes I have been loving so much and go with absolutely everything. The V is very 'Carolyn Bessette in the '90s' inspired." — Gayot
