149. The Jacket I've Been Hunting For, Jennifer Lawrence's Favorite Pants Restocked, and the Top I'd Buy If I Didn't Need a Bra

Apr 16, 2026

This is EVERY BODY GETS DRESSED’s weekly edit of the only newness, sales, and restocks worth your attention.

Sometimes I zero in on finding a specific piece. It happens when a gap keeps surfacing when I get dressed. I don’t mind it. It’s usually a sign my sense of style is deepening. My latest quest was a (genuinely) cinched-in black jacket. It had to be sculptural and fitted, with no synthetics in the lining or the self, and short enough for my short torso. I was happy to shorten the sleeves. This led me to Róhe's double-faced sculptural jacket (100% wool, unlined) and Soeur’s Ira jacket, a blend of cotton and linen with a cotton body lining. (There’s an acetate lining in the sleeves, but if I don’t sweat in it, no one will.) We’re going into spring, so I bought the latter, and I’ll save through the summer to buy the Róhe come October. The Soeur jacket is so damn good. I bought it in a 34, and it fits like a glove. The waist is truly cinched in, the sleeves rounded and tapered with extra volume. It goes with all my favorite pieces. I wear it as a top with nothing underneath but my bra. Wild goose chase successful. Soeur is a brand that has frustrated me in the past. I loved their designs and found their price point interesting, but their fabrics would let me down: too synthetic, too stiff. They were once briefly on this newsletter’s exclusion list (the brands I never feature due to poor quality). They’ve made a flying comeback over the last two years as I’ve found myself falling for more and more of their pieces, and the materials have matched or exceeded my expectations. There are two Soeur shops in my neighborhood, so whenever you see a recommendation for the brand here, know the pieces have been vetted IRL. If you’re interested in the jacket, I recorded myself styling it in a video this week (see it on instagram here).

Alex Mill released the Carolyn sunglasses (styled below). For what it’s worth, these are not another design inspired by the fashion icon; they are the exact design she wore. The sunglasses, an oval frame with hinges on either side, are a re-edition made in partnership with Selima Salau, whose optical shop Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and John F. Kennedy Jr. visited multiple times in the 90s. The shop was located just around the corner from where the couple lived. Selima describes them as “very friendly and down to earth” and says that Carolyn knew “exactly what she wanted.” Back in the day, Carolyn purchased the sunglasses in four different colors, and Alex Mill made them in five, including classic tortoiseshell and soft lavender. While you’re here, the brand recently released lots of great linen basics, but it’s their Coco Sport Pant that I love seeing styled. It has a more structured knit than your average cotton jersey pants for people who have vowed not to wear regular sweats outside the house but want the comfort. You’ll love them especially if you’re on the shorter side as they have a short inseam. Sizing runs large on this style.
As part of their Summer 2026 collection, Frame released a new pair of jeans called The Saturday, a low-rise, straight-leg silhouette. They released it in their rigid, non-stretchy denim for now. The low-rise comeback makes me stupidly happy. Other highlights from the collection include this soft, airy, slightly boho-like silk top (there’s a long-sleeved version if you like your arms covered), a ‘Gallery’ silk and cotton collarless blouse, and ‘Gallery’ army-green relaxed pants (styled below). These shorts are not my style, but if you like quirky pieces, you must take a look.

My favorite thing landing in my inbox this week was this. These days, I’m spending a ton of time thinking about working-from-home—and generally low styling-lift—outfits. I think about how I can help you (and myself) put together outfits you feel great in, in less than 3 minutes. Pieces like this one from Still Here that you can add to a t-shirt and pants look to make you feel dressed, have so much equity in a wardrobe. Big fan.
Aritzia just dropped a collab with G.H. Bass, which includes 8 pairs of leather and suede loafers. The Milton—I like it in Chocolatier brown—has a square toe, and the Spence—I like it in the khaki tan suede—has a round toe. Both styles feature a penny tucked away in the saddle and classic apron pleating, true to the Weejuns design the heritage footwear brand is famous for. If G.H. Bass had anything to do with it, these will be great quality loafers.
LESET released the April collection. The Kyoto windbreaker is now available to pre-order in khaki (styled below) and navy. Found yourself thinking “A pop of bright red would have looked great with this outfit” recently? The new seasonal color is a clear warm vermilion red, and they’ve washed it over all their best-sellers: the Margo tee, Kyoto carpenter pants, and Kyoto carpenter shorts. If you wear your brights in small touches, buy the James crew or James cardigan and tie it around your waist. If you prefer a muted 90s palette, combine the Margo in aqua and the Barb silk skirt in cement. If you have a large chest, do not buy the Yoko blouson top. Trust.

Emme Parsons is growing their collection slowly and mindfully, as every brand should. So I’m always excited when they add a new silhouette to their lineup. This week, they released the Delicat, a minimal, slip-on sandal with a tapered 55mm heel. It comes in black embossed croc, red, white, and gold. And with that, the barely-there sandal is set to be one of the most enduring and defining footwear trends of this decade.
If I didn’t need to wear a bra, I would buy St.Agni’s new suede apron top.
In January, reflecting on how far she’s come, Jamie Haller talked about how fashion feels like a club you’re always trying to prove you belong to, and how even with all the growth and attention, she still feels like an outsider. What she wants her brand to be is its own kind of club: the kind you’re invited into. The brand’s recent launches include the V fave, a cotton cashmere V-neck sweater inspired by a 1980s YSL men’s knit. The new scrunchie heel is a kitten-heel sandal with elastic scrunchie-inspired straps. They are sporty and flirty in equal measure, and available in butter yellow and deep olive green. The brand also restocked the walking sandal in nude (a few sizes left in black, too) and, just this morning, added new colors to the Driver loafer.
Tibi Summer 2026 is here. The brand is one of the only ones I trust to use synthetic fabrics for design, not cost savings. But because I would still not wear a synthetic blend top (too sweaty), and because I know my readers are purists, the natural fiber pieces that stand out are: this poplin dress you could genuinely wear to an event and to the beach if you choose your accessories carefully. It has pockets! This top has a sculptural front and a barely-there sultry back. I LOVE these raw-edge denim shorts (I’m having a raw-edge summer) and I would buy them one size up so they hang low on the hips. Styling long shorts is terrifying; they can feel so unflattering. I posted a video on how I style them earlier this week (see it on instagram here).

Pieces from Kallmeyer’s beautiful runway continue to trickle down. This week, that included a strapless dress, a floor-length skirt, and an asymmetric top in black-and-cream rose-printed brocade, the Tilda collarless shirt/jacket, and my favorite piece in this collection: the James jacket, a relaxed-fit blazer with a bouclé grid tone-on-tone pattern. The matching trousers are available if you’d like to go full-out relaxed summer tailoring.
TOTEME has released new spring/summer pieces, and this beautiful V-neck raw-edge textured viscose slip dress stands out. After styling long shorts for the video I mentioned above, I decided that the most flattering top I could wear with them is a long sleeveless tank with a deep scoop neck, so I ordered this top from their permanent collection, which (randomly) is cut from the same sablé-textured fabric as the dress.
La Ligne cast Connie Britton as the face of their Perfect 10 anniversary collection. The collection includes the ‘perfect version’ of a cotton shirt, jeans, Breton tee, shirtdress, silk shirt, pants, robe, suit trousers, suit jacket, sweater, trousers, and track pants. The Colby pants that Jennifer Lawrence keeps getting pictured in over and over and over have just been restocked in black. They featured in last month’s roundup of the best ‘fancy soft pants’ by The Cut, in the ‘slouch expert’ category. I personally like the Barrel version best.

AYR has restocked the chic face-framing Tate Oxford button-down. This week, I was following a Reddit thread from someone ‘considering a wardrobe makeover. Instead of more pieces, I’m thinking of a smaller, more intentional wardrobe that mixes well, still feels comfy, and is easy to pack. Looking for elevated basics with quality that matches the price.’ In the comments, AYR received only positive reviews. Unsurprisingly, many mentioned the Secret Sauce jeans, but there were also many endorsements for their T-shirts. Common praise for AYR pieces is that they ‘wash very well’. We love to see it.
These slingback pumps from the Tory Burch runway, embellished with a mix of sequins, beads, handmade crystals, and a grosgrain trim, are a true Cinderella shoe.
Speaking of sparkle, DÔEN has an occasion capsule. I would wear this slightly sheer silk chiffon ruffled dress to a barefoot-on-cobblestone, low-key destination wedding. This cotton tulle one, scattered with beads, I envision for a celebration at dinnertime in a walled garden. And this lace gown with a cape draping is for a black-tie event.
Australian label Deiji Studios makes height-of-summer cotton pieces, the kind that floats around your body. Not for you if you like your cotton weighty. Their designs offer a little something extra vs. your run-of-the-mill warm-weather basics. This is a very interesting value proposition for people who, on a regular day, wear a simple top-and-bottom outfit with no time for further styling. I personally appreciate, as a neutral-color wearer, that they come up with interesting shades of brown, gray, and cream when most brands just give us black and white. Their most popular pants are the Pleat pants, a twill barrel-leg pair of pants with an elasticated waistband. Their poplin shirt features pintucks and panel-seamed detailing outlining a layered camisole. Their cotton voile midi skirt has scarf-inspired ties that fall fluidly along the skirt. Their wrap cotton dress comes with softly frayed edges all over. All priced $160-$265.
