Just Browsing: The Ultimate Fall Wardrobe Refresh at Leset

I am nothing if not a creature of a habit: From the moment I tried my first Margo tee, I was in it for the long haul. True to my Scorpio traits, there are few white T-shirts I’ve worn and written about as often and with as much verve as Leset’s. Cut to perfection, its elevated simplicity instantly filled a gap in my wardrobe—one I’m always trying to edit down to make as cohesive as possible. It’s a personal endeavor, mildly ambitious but with tangible rewards. Sometimes it veers into uniform dressing; but mostly, it’s about simplifying choices and wearing more of what I love.

Comfort and polish is what founder Lili Chemla’s vision is rooted in, and that refined ease is what keeps me coming back for more. My closet might be a perennial work in progress, but many of my foundational pieces are from Leset: My go-to silk pants? There’s only life after I discovered the cropped Barb. A lightweight layer to throw on for work? I’m not one for hyperboles, but the Kyoto trench coat really does looks good with almost everything. A cozy weekend outfit? Let it be pointelle or nothing at all.

My love for Leset started with a white tee, so I thought it only fitting that my visit to their Bleecker Street boutique, a quiet haven in the heart of the West Village, would take you back to the beginning. Follow along at your pace, one T-shirt at a time.
