Each of our closets have seen trends come and go, but the basics will always stay forever. We embrace and reject fashion as we see fit. We take what we see and make it our own. In the midst of making leather leggings your own, there are some things that never change. These wardrobe staples tend to be pieces that I just can’t seem to get rid of. In other words, these most reliable items are the essentials to the perfect wardrobe. With the chillier months in mind, I’ve put together a list of items I just cannot live without this winter. From my style staples to the accessories that will complete the looks, these five items are what I am currently coveting.
ONE: Stuart Weitzman Cadet Boots
A chic, over-the-knee boot is one of the most versatile pieces in a wardrobe. I really like these black nappa leather with stretch fabric boots, which will look adorable with a pretty dress or paired with jeans and a cozy knit sweater.
TWO: Aritzia Oversized Sweater
Is there anything better than throwing on a cozy sweater with jeans and a great pair of boots? It’s perfect for a cold winter day relaxing at home or a casual shopping trip to get some errands done.
THREE: Randolph Amelia Sunglasses
With the snow finally falling, it is getting bright outside again! These sunnies have become a favorite of mine. This tan and chocolate pair from Randolph will be the perfect way to finish off a year round look.
FOUR: J Brand 620 Mid-Rise Super Skinny in Lacquered Black Quartz
A trusty pair of skinny jeans is an essential piece in your closet. A fitted pair will never go out season. The key is to find a pair that fits you like a glove. For me, it is the 620 by J Brand. I live them, I breathe them, I need them.
FIVE: Barbour Ratio Wax Jacket
This waxed jacket from Barbour is equal parts cozy and chic. It’s the perfect way to put a lavish twist on jeans and a t-shirt while keeping you warm with the velvet trim handwarmer pockets. I plan on wearing this coat all winter long.
