These Pieces Aren't in Your Closet, but They Should Be

It all started when I came across this piece by Leandra Medine, in which she defends her stance that a “timeless investment” doesn’t necessarily need to be a simple or an under-the-radar item. Through her example of an Osman printed coat that she’s worn (and been photographed in) at least eight times with completely different outfits, she shows us that blank-slate pieces (you know, the items that go with everything) aren’t the only ones to splurge on. As Medine so perfectly exhibits, with some outside-of-the-box styling, any item can be worn countless ways, thus making it “worth the investment.” With this in mind, I decided to round up 15 not-so-simple pieces that, with a little imagination, could totally be worn over and over again.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2020, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch 90 Day Fiancé.
