Wrists are made for watches, according to Club member Hetal Patel—and this summer is all about flaunting Swiss numbers. What’s your essential summer purchase—and why do you love it? A few months back, I bought a floral metallic gold chiffon dress from Ralph Lauren for my trip to Italy, but I love it so much that I’ve been wearing it all across New York City. I am obsessed with how the colors of the dress illuminate my skin tone—it makes me look and feel so divine.
What’s a beauty product that everybody should get their hands on—and why? I swear by Jones Road Beauty: With the summer sun and heat, my go-to look is no-makeup-makeup, and JRB's Miracle Balm, face pencil, mascara, and lip tint are the only things you'll see me traveling with. What’s a place you love to visit—and how do you spend your time there? I aspire to spend my summer in Saint-Tropez, where I see myself reading a book on the beach with a Hugo spritz in hand, having a bite at the new Jacquemus café, shopping a little—and repeat, repeat, repeat! What’s the one summer shoe you can’t recommend enough? Anything from the Brooklyn-based shoe company Stivali—my favorites are the Pijao mules (which are perfect for elevating casual looks) and the Elixir sandals with triangle heels (which are ideal for a more romantic look!). What’s one accessory you can’t do without—and why? Watches! I feel naked when not wearing one.
I’ve been a collector since I turned 16, when my dad gave me my fir.
