After working in the fashion world for a fair amount of time, you start to notice trends among the women who inhabit it. There are certain items everyone seems to own and wear regularly—and we aren't the only ones who think so.
We enlisted the help of our resident stylist Marissa Webb to help decipher what those universally beloved items are in the fashion industry.
"It's really impossible to speak for every other woman in the fashion industry, of course, but they are a few items I've spotted frequently on many," Webb confided.
