Tory Burch Buddy Corduroy Jacket ($995)

It may be quite a splurge, but there's no denying the longevity of a marigold corduroy jacket from Tory Burch — especially for a New Yorker. It's eye-catching in all the right ways, has a removable velvet top collar for versatility, and for me, it's honestly all in the name. Burch was inspired by her father's wardrobe when crafting this jacket and called it the Buddy. Funnily enough, that's how my own dad and I refer to each other! So this is definitely a fashion-girl keepsake I'd look forward to wearing nearly every month of the year.
