I'm a Celebrity Stylist—8 Wardrobe Basics My Clients and I Spend Our Own Money On
Molly Dickson is a celebrity stylist and Who What Wear editor in residence. Her clients include Lana Del Rey, Ariana Greenblatt, Sadie Sink, Sydney Sweeney, Lucy Hale, Keke Palmer, Camila Mendes, and others.
Celebrity stylist Molly Dickson may spend her days pulling archival gowns and fresh-off-the-runway samples for some of Hollywood’s most photographed women, but behind the scenes, her personal closet tells a different story. When the fittings wrap, and the garment bags are returned, Dickson reaches for a tightly edited lineup of wardrobe staples she buys with her own money—pieces she believes in so much that she recommends her clients invest in them, too. These aren’t the flashy loaners that appear on red carpets but the real-world building blocks that make up her everyday uniform. And because Dickson’s taste has become a trusted blueprint for A-list style, what she considers “worth it” is guaranteed to be good.
In this story, Dickson opens up about the failsafe items she relies on season after season, from wear-everywhere sneakers to seamless underwear. Think of it as a peek into the stylist’s personal shopping cart—grounded, practical, and still impossibly chic. Scroll down to shop her picks.

4. Men's Hanes T-Shirts and Skims Shorts
"My preferred T-shirt is one of my boyfriend's vintage tees or my dad’s Hanes T-shirts.I absolutely love the feel of worn-in vintage fabrics, especially super oversized versions. I love to pair an oversized tee with super short Skims shorts. The juxtaposition of the oversized tee with the short shorts makes it sexy yet comfortable and effortless when you’re staying in for the night."
