"Pleated skirts are essential to include in this list because they're timeless. I like combining them with a variety of printed pieces so the look does not become too strict or boring."—Franny

"I love blazers with an oversize cut especially."

"Obviously, having good jeans is a major asset because they will accompany you for a long time. My two favorites right now are vintage Levi's that I wear with absolutely everything."

"In late summer and early fall, light dresses are still the order of the day. I like it when I can mix boots or a pair of sneakers with a blazer or trench coat."

"I don't have a particular style set—I wear and accessorize as I please. I can wear this look very well at work or on weekends in boots, sneakers, or with ballerinas. An effortless, comfortable look. For the bags, they must be very practical—small or large."
