Allow Dress Code to demystify and debunk what to wear when and where, and how to wear it, as advised by those whose innate style never fails to inspire and influence.

Whether she’s in SoHo or Beverly Hills, you won’t catch Jennifer Fisher off guard. After two decades at the helm of her namesake jewelry line—which crystallized her nickname ‘The Queen of Hoops’—Fisher has honed in on an approach to personal style that’s as sleek, polished, and versatile as her offering. With a demanding calendar, it comes down to pieces like form-fitting turtlenecks, jet black cashmere, and block color maxi dresses that do the heavy lifting day in, day out—zhuzhed up with her go-to accessories. As for the opening night of her brand new boutique on North Beverly Drive, it was time to up the ante a little, with a sculptural cloud-white gown and her omnipresent stacked heel boots. Here’s how she ensures her place on the proverbial list of best-dressed American designers.

What's your process for getting dressed? Do you make an effort even when you don't have to see anyone?

Yes, I always make an effort. You never know who you’re going to run into—and I live by that rule. I never walk around in sweats.

When you want to feel confident—what boxes does your outfit need to tick?

My look has to feel effortless, timeless, and clean. My jewelry is my armor—it’s protection. The moment I put it on, I feel stronger and more confident. That idea really inspired my semi-precious cord collection of clear, rose, and smoky quartz necklaces, which are meant to be layered and feel easy. With my California roots and love of collecting crystals, I wanted to express spirituality without being literal.

A breakfast event pops up for tomorrow. What’s a failsafe outfit you for an early morning?

A thin black cashmere turtleneck, a belt by The Row, and dark high-waisted denim never fail me. You’ll almost never see me in flats—I’m always in a Saint Laurent stacked boot or some kind of

elevated shoe.

What type of dress code fills you with dread? And what’s your workaround for that?

Costume parties. I try to interpret them in a way that still feels like me—something shimmery,

maxi, and tonal. Then I add an accessory that subtly nods to the theme.
