"It was a polo-collared black cashmere Jil Sander cardigan that my mom found at the Barneys Outlet in Riverhead. I remember thinking that on sale at $215, it was still a boat load of money. She convinced me to get it and told me I'd wear it forever...and she was right. I always call it my trusty companion...it travels with me everywhere, goes beautifully with everything, and has never, ever pilled. You just can't under-estimate the magical powers of a good slim cardi."

Jil Sander cashmere cardigan, $690, available at Bergdorf Goodman.
