Ever wonder what your favorite celebrities buy when they’re browsing their favorite boutique or shopping online late at night? Welcome to Six Picks, where we ask stars to spill their style and beauty must-haves — so you can shop like you’re famous, too.
Not everybody can be Jenna f—king Lyons — but they can pack like her.
While the former J.Crew creative director’s known for her impact on American style, she’s drawn plenty of sartorial inspiration from Milan over the years — so much so, she recently teamed up with Capital One and Prior on a trip to the fashion-filled city.
“Many of Milan’s most meaningful design stories unfold inside private spaces,” Lyons told Page Six Style, following experiences like an after-hours visit to “The Last Supper” and a stop at Ratti, an exclusive print house she once frequented.
“I came prepared to wear my Ratti scarf and left with more ties than one person can wear,” she quipped.
As for how she avoided overflowing luggage post-shopping spree? The self-proclaimed “recovering over-packer” likes to bring clothing that fits a specific “color story.” (She’s partial to white, khaki, navy and a pop of yellow or red.)
“Don’t dress like an Abercrombie commercial; it’s Milan,” she also advised. “No flip-flops, shorts and baseball hats — you will look out of place.”
Below, Lyons spills all the items she would recommend packing for a summer getaway, from high-top sneakers to high fashion.
“A perfect T-shirt is probably in the eye of the beholder. This one is mine: slightly boxy, not drippy, not stretch. It works on everyone I send it to. Even the teens steal it, which means it’s not chopped.”
“I am a white shirt devotee. This one is classic — no frills — and literally looks perfect despite being smashed in my carry-on. White shirts for president.”
“I love workwear. These are the original. They’re not precious, they are indestructible — and bizarrely, they are the single most asked-about item in my wardrobe. Who knew?! Dress up or down. They never miss a trip.”
“I think every good outfit needs something that undercuts it a little bit. Converse do that perfectly. They’re iconic for a reason.”
“These pants are a recent purchase and have landed in heavy rotation. They are a unique fabric —round and dry — impervious to wrinkles and look perfect with loafers or 5-inch heels. They make everything look sharper, longer, cooler. Great pants are transformative.”
“They’re sleek, easy and a little louche, which is basically my favorite combination.”
