EDITOR'S NOTE

If you struggle with getting dressed, we’ve figured out how to make it easier thanks to our annual launch of Fashion You’ll Actually Wear Week. Our editors have spent months curating the best clothing and accessories for work, play, travel, and maternity. This week, I’ll be sharing standouts from each category, so stay tuned and check out the full collection to refresh your closet.
