“I have tubes of this in every drawer, bag, and jacket pocket. It does the trick!”

“Fun, sharp, wonderfully sneaky and absorbing, Kincaid’s ‘Talk of the Town’ pieces are a clinic in tone and spirited accuracy. Her sensitivity to mannerisms makes for such a pleasing reading experience. I love a clear snapshot. I love a confessional mood that isn’t too profound.”

“Opening Amazon packages with scissors generally ends in tears. This is also good for keeping New York’s criminal element at bay.”

“The last word in men’s tailoring also happens to be the first word in dressing gowns. Add a suspiciously early cocktail, a jaunty smile, and you’re basically John Barrymore.”

“I generally don’t splash anything on my face, aside from water. But when I’m feeling particularly festive, I pull out the Eight & Bob—a gift from a friend. The story behind this cologne—a young J.F.K., the Côte d’Azur, bottles hid from Nazis in books—is almost as wonderful as the stuff itself.”

“I have always been fascinated by good luck charms. My father was superstitious, too, and carried gold lucky dice in his pocket, which inspired our Love Letters necklace; it has six interchangeable dice with gold letters and symbols, so you can create your own monogram.”

“The Charvet nightshirt is ideal for anyone. The cotton is perfection, and you can wear it to sleep or even to the beach.”

“Holed up as we were during the pandemic, we decided to commit our hard-won renovation lessons, collecting tips, and general design playbook to paper. The result, from Artisan Books, was released this month.” —P.G. and C.M.

“The Classic Cabin in silver—with its signature channeled anodized aluminum, riveted corners, and all-wheel drive—practically carries you from that endless stretch between Shake Shack and B36 in JFK’s T2. I think I’d go for the leather-trimmed handles next time around—though, with the lifetime guarantee, I’ll probably never need to.” —C.M.

“Nothing beats a billfold wallet, even if they seem totally old-fashioned to the millennials. They’re an elegant alternative to the bulging rear pockets most guys are walking around with. And while the world is increasingly cashless, it’s nice to pull out a crisp, unfolded bill for a tip.” —C.M.

“Andrée Putman is one of my heroes. Her design sensibility was ahead of its time and her personal style was iconic. She is one of the great female interior designers in a world historically dominated by men. I have many of her books, which provide endless inspiration.”

“I love to power walk through L.A. It’s important not to give in too much to athleisure. Scala makes chic bucket hats with large, protective brims. This one is something my grandmother would approve of for “walking” attire.”

“I’m never without some kind of a red lip and haven’t found one better than Gucci Westman’s Lip Suede. The pigment is pure and intense. I use the tiniest amount for a subtle stain; when I wake up in the morning it’s still on. Plus, the compact comes with a mirror.”

“Three things I love in one product: baths, roses, and cool packaging.” —P.L.
