It’s time to invest in elevated basics.
You may have a white tee and pair of dark-wash skinny jeans already hanging in your closet, but a complete closet needs many basics like a bodysuit, a cute work blouse or a pair of comfortable, slip-ons fit for every outfit.
If you’re missing critical outfit items, NYDJ is the fashion brand you should keep on your radar. Its quality will actually last you for years of styling and the brand is a step above others in terms of giving you a chic edge to staple pieces.
“NYDJ helps empower women to look and feel their best,” Lindsey Dupuis, NYDJ’s stylist, told The Post. “It caters to every body shape — especially petite and plus-sizes — and is multi-generational to celebrate all women.”
Personally, my favorite pieces to style are the Lynn Slip-On Loafers (the coziest loafers ever), the Modern Legging Pants (so comfortable!) and the Trucker Jean Jacket (a tried-and-true staple).
NYDJ’s denim offerings are made of 17 plastic bottles per pair, so it’s a lower environmental impact than traditional denim.
“NYDJ has great fall staples that play with texture, like the sherpa coat, with endless options for going back into the workplace” Dupuis adds. “Plus, they’re grounded in comfort, so all the pieces have a flattering yet fitting stretch.”
Below, find Dupuis’ top 10 favorite picks from NYDJ. With each piece, you’ll find color, sizing and fit options to help guide your shopping experience.
