When we first laid eyes on this 2018 spread from Harper’s Bazaar, it was an unquestionable bookmark. Photographed by Paul Bellaart and featuring Dutch beauty Bette Franke, the oceanic backdrop calls for nothing more than timeless, coastal attire. At a time when it feels the entire nation is purging closets in anxious pursuit of anything and everything ‘sparking joy’, we remain steadfast in our belief that successful style is best embodied in a few simple basics. It’s true what they say, we’ve never met a stripe we didn’t like, and call us old-fashioned, but we’ve been collecting vintage fisherman knits for years. Layered with the refinement of classic tailoring, the simplicity of an elongated silhouette and a healthy glow that radiates from the inside out, it’s a win-win no matter if you’re dressing for the seaside or countryside. If you’re one of the cult-Kondo followers looking to make some drastic revisions within your own wardrobe, check out a few of our favorite of-the-moment options.
