Key Talking Points
She also adores Lingua Franca’s custom embroidered sweaters with phrases like “Aprés All Day.” These pieces are not just warm—they’re wardrobe investments that elevate your winter style and are hot-ticket gift items for past seasons that are still going strong.
Brands like Dolce Vita, Freebird, and Nordstrom’s curated collections take center stage. Think you can get by without these winter essentials? Fashion. Crime. #weloveboots
She also warns against oversized, long shapeless jackets that add unnecessary bulk—a fashion crime we can all avoid with the right alterations.
Off-the-shoulder A-line dresses, pleated full skirts, and leather midi dresses are some of our top picks for the festive season. Let us help you get out of your comfort zone. Pair them with statement earrings and an evening clutch for full-on glam. Worried about a shoe? You can’t go wrong with a metallic. They go with everything.
She also insists on having at least two belts—one skinny and one wide—to instantly upgrade any outfit. Black and brown are the basics. Extra credit for white or a fun color.
6. Tops That Elevate Your Wardrobe
Versatile, high-quality tops that can effortlessly transition from casual to dressy will never let you down. Don’t compromise color or price for fit. You get what you pay for.
Everlane and Hampden Clothing are great options for stylish blouses with clean lines and unique fabrics. Start small and figure out what looks best for your body type.
Suggestions include but are not limited to: silk or silk-blend tops, billowy sleeves, and cap-sleeve blouses that layer beautifully under jackets or sweaters. It’s a must for a cohesive wardrobe whether you’re working from home or not.
