We all have that “I-could-wear-this-every-day-for-the-rest-of-my-life” piece—that one item that makes us feel like our very best selves. If you’re having a rough day but you know that putting on that favorite sweater will make you feel completely invincible, then you understand the power of a signature piece. Proudly rewearing (and restyling) your go-to piece is part of what helps you build and define your personal style.
In this installment of Closet Resolutions, we asked influencers, community members, and Dia&Co team members to share the signature pieces they’re constantly reaching for.
Fashion influencer Sahily Perez loves playing with her vintage acid wash jeans, which quickly became her favorite piece in her closet.
“I picked up these jeans at L Train Vintage in Brooklyn over the summer. As a thrifter, this is a piece I’ve been wanting to get my hands on for a while and I was thrilled when I found it! This outfit just makes me happy.”
Dia Stylist Lauren Brake wears, and rewears, her combat boots often—thanks to their versatility and edgy feel.
“These boots are my signature because they are comfy and go with everything I own. They also add the perfect touch of edge to my looks without any effort.
Fashion blogger Sierra Holmes finds herself adding a bold pop of color through her trendy red beret outfit after outfit.
“I love this beret because it gives me this Parisian feel even though I’m in the Midwest. The minute I put it on I’m transported somewhere magical. “
Dia Stylist Ashby Vose wears her handpainted alligator purse almost every day, proudly displaying her artwork.
“As a kid, I memorized a line from my favorite picture book, “The Jolly Postman”: ‘In comes the doctor, Foster, in comes the nurse, in comes the lady with the alligator purse.’ Now, I am the lady with the alligator purse! My personalized bag never gets confused with anyone else’s.”
Dia Customer Jess Hays favorite graphic sweater gives her the confidence she needs for a little boost if she’s feeling low.
“It’s comfy, edgy, and a little extra: all of my favorite things! Any time it gets even a little cold I immediately reach for it. I think it’s a perfect snapshot of my fashion expression and I always feel super rad when I wear it!”
