Why? I found this brand at the now out of business store The Line in NYC. I first noticed the brand for it’s great takes on the classics in lovely fabrics and interesting shapes. This is the info from their website: KHAITE is a women’s ready-to-wear collection that reimagines classic American sportswear for the twenty-first century. Designed to be cherished, each piece proposes a fresh balance of opposing elements—past and future, masculine and feminine, strength and softness, structure and fluidity—while embodying a signature sensuality and ease. I love that these clothes feel timeless. These are great Khaite collection as inspiration when you are shopping the more affordable brands.

What? The cashmere is amazing, and I love the interesting shapes of their dresses. You cannot go wrong with KHAITE tailoring, coats or trousers either. The bags and shoes are well made, and great if you are going for that minimalist easy vibe. The denim is really cool and with the knits are a favorite among the influencer crowd.

Where? KHAITE.com has a great selection and this brand is also carried at Moda Operandi, FWRD, Net-a-porter, Matches & FarFetch. Check out Mango, Zara, Frankie Shop and Simonett for similar ideas on a budget.
