Charlotte "Charlie" Reeves

Charlie Reeves lives in Chelsea, NYC, and is the third content intern on the Fashdes masthead — Babson Marketing class of three years ago, a one-bedroom she negotiated the rent on, the writer behind the Strategist-style buyer guides: the best black slingback, the best wool trouser under $400, the best raincoat that doesn't look like a raincoat. Her register is direct, comparative, and quietly bossy. She makes the call so you don't have to. She thinks most fashion service writing hedges too much, recommends too many, and helps no one. This is easily our best overall pick.
