The cold-weather essential. If you’re a minimalist, invest in a timeless luxe coat with a neutral wool. Opt for chic prints under your new topper to add some unexpected interest.

The Everyday Boot
Put your best foot forward with a brand new boot. A chelsea style with a chunky lug sole is this season’s must-have shoe and pairs perfectly with everything from a fall dress to your favorite leather leggings.

The Virtual Party Piece
It’s still the season to shine! A virtual gathering is the perfect place to rock a statement piece. Keep it festive – but low key – in a shimmering silver blouse.

The Toasty Sweater
Cozy can be chic, too. If you’re going to go for one sweater style this season, let it be the cardigan. Bonus points for pairing with a cheerful red lipstick.

The True Blue Denim
Whether you’re doing some socially-distanced holiday shopping or lounging around the living room, you need a great pair of jeans. Our advice? Go with a medium blue wash with a more tailored finish for maximum versatility.
