Anyone who knows me knows I shop with nostalgia—both for my own closet and for the store. If a piece reminds me of my ‘70s childhood or ‘80s teen years, I’m hooked. That explains my soft spot for racer stripes, terry cloth, and track suits. So when I walked into a showroom last spring and spotted K-Way rain jackets, I knew we had to have them.

I’m a firm believer in cost per wear—making sure every piece in your closet works hard for you. This week, Angelica styled a few of our newest arrivals to show how they can carry you seamlessly from late summer into fall. Think versatile pants, chic layers, and smart accessories you’ll reach for again and again.

When I left a secure, high-paying job to pursue shoemaking, people thought I was crazy. But that decision led me to open Old House Provisions—a menswear store unlike anything else in the DMV. Here’s how I traded the “golden handcuffs” for craftsmanship, quality, and a revived artisanal tradition.
