My aunt messaged me out of the blue today: "Can you do me a favor and tell me what you think I'd like from the Rag Bone fall sale?" She knows I love helping people shop, so of course, I was happy to. With 25% off sitewide, I looked through every category—tops, denim, footwear. I was specifically looking for elevated basics she really could wear over and over again.
As I scrolled, a few pieces stood out, starting with the Maxine Poplin Shirt, a classic white button-down she'll never get sick of. Then there are the Sophia Leather Ballet Flats, which reminded me of ones I've seen at Camper and Paloma Wool. For denim, I picked the Shea Relaxed Straight Jeans, and for tops, I sent her the Dina Cotton Cardigan, Adeline Lightweight Cashmere Tee, Viola Polo Sweater, and Irina Sport Tank Top.
Since I literally browsed the whole site, here are all of the best finds.
