“My best friend told me last summer my aesthetic is ‘literary farmer’ when she saw me reading in a soft oversize white tee with a straw bucket hat. Since then I’ve decided that just might be the look I always want to be in”
Photo: Gabriela Herman Julie Ae Kim describes herself in her Twitter bio as a “reluctant politico,” not that you’d know it from her résumé. She started in politics working for the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, then became the first ever director of the Women’s Caucus at the NYC Council. Next, she’ll be working as the Queens borough lead for the census 2020 team.
On her everyday outfit: My go-to outfit usually consist of basics, like a solid-colored turtleneck or sweater, with high-waisted black pants. When I don’t have time, I like to go for a minimal versatile look. I dress to be comfortable. Buying dress pants is a nightmare. I don’t think I’ve found a pair yet that fits perfectly. Also, they are never comfortable and usually have to be dry-cleaned, which is expensive.

My favorite things to thrift are cashmere sweaters, jean jackets, and flannels. Depending on your budget you can go to an un-curated thrift store like L Train Vintage or Goodwill, but I don’t really have an eye for finding gems, so I find more enjoyment in going to curated vintage shops like 10 Ft Single by Stella Dallas or Front General Store in Dumbo.
