$58 $43 at Amazon Bobbi Schwartz, founder and CEO of Be Iconic Style, says an oversized turtleneck sweater is a timeless heavy hitter that you should keep on hand for fall and winter. "A high-neck sweater in off-white can be paired with everything from jeans to trousers to skirts. An oversized brown sweater works perfectly with both jeans and tailored trousers, while a neutral coat seamlessly ties together your look with anything from off-whites to grays, browns, greens, and more. Investing in luxe-looking, neutral pieces that mix and match seamlessly will save you time and money, transforming the way you approach your wardrobe."
$126 $80 at Amazon Schwartz shares, "One essential tip when putting together any look is always to incorporate a third piece, whether it's a jacket, coat, or cardigan. Like in the art world, odd numbers create balance and interest. These mid-calf booties work beautifully with cropped pants or any full-length jeans and trousers you may already own."
$70 $45 at Amazon "An excellent puffer jacket is a must-have for your cold-weather winters," insists celebrity stylist Brenda Cooper. "It's lightweight enough to wear both indoors and out and makes it easy to stay warm when worn over a turtleneck. I usually size up so that I can wear over jackets and blazers, and it also makes enough room for a comfortable knit sweater." She also suggests shopping for two: A black option that will go with everything and a color like pink "for fun."
$45 $25 at Amazon Leggings are a year-round style staple, but this time of year, you should "go from cool summer lightweight leggings to fleeced lined for extra warmth," says Cooper. "Create what I call a silhouette outfit, which consists of a top and bottom in the same color, and add a personality piece, such as a warm cardigan, a colorful puffer vest or jacket, or a cozy sweater style duster coat to the knee."
$15 $13 at Amazon Cooper also relies on "easy to layer" pieces to get through the milder seasons "with style and comfort." She adds, "You can wear it casual with jeans and a black suede boot, for work with a blazer, or an evening with a pair of elegant pants and statement earrings or a beautiful necklace using your turtleneck as a canvas."
$50 $40 at Amazon "These boots will bring fun, function, and style to your winter wardrobe," Cooper raves. "Being so warm and comfortable, they feel like they are wearing slippers. Pair with skinny jeans, leggings, and an oversized chunky cable knit turtleneck." You can also rock the winter staple with "a pair of black leggings, a black long-sleeve turtleneck, and a great black or colored puffer for a sporty, Aprés ski look that is cozy, comfortable, and will get you lots of compliments."
$44 $20 at Amazon You may want to put the focus on your accessories this time of year, according to personal stylist April Clemmer. "Consider incorporating gloves back into your everyday wear! Not only are they a cold-weather staple, but there are so many different types of gloves out there that they can accompany virtually any outfit." Try a pair of chic gloves you don't have to take off to use your phone.
$16 $11 at Amazon "I'm a big fan of wearing tights in unexpected colors or even fun prints," says Clemmer. "These can make a bold fashion statement, especially when paired with an all-black or all-white outfit or something very simple. Plus, opaque tights are on-trend right now, which is a win-win because you can keep your legs warm and cozy while still showing off your distinct style."
$120 $75 at Amazon There's always room for a slightly oversized blazer in your closet. "There is something so attractive about wearing your boyfriend’s or husband's blazer when you're cold, so why not buy your own and feel that way whenever you're heading out for the night?" suggests stylist Jackie Schiavone.
$100 $55 at Amazon "This winter, big cat style is taking center stage, with leopard print in particular stealing the spotlight," notes founder and CEO of Style by Color, Shari Braendel. "This faux fur statement coat exudes a sense of power and confidence, while the beauty of feline fashion lies in its ability to blend effortlessly with both casual and high-end styles, creating a versatile look that can be dressed up or down. Pairing a leopard print jacket with a black turtleneck and jeans offers a chic daytime look while wearing it over a satin slip dress works perfectly for an evening out. It's all about embracing that bold, untamed spirit with a refined, fashion-forward twist."
$79 $48 at Amazon When you're all layered up, Braendel advises putting the focus on your footwear. "The soft, plush texture of velvet gives the shoes an elegant, elevated feel, which can easily be dressed up for holiday parties, family gatherings, or other formal occasions. Plus, they can easily transition from casual to dressy occasions. You can pair them with everything from tailored pants to cozy wool skirts."
$40 $32 at Amazon Style coach Nikki Venus feels it's essential to go for items that are "both chic and feminine," like this tie-front sweater. "Its versatility allows you to effortlessly pair it with jeans or layer it over your favorite tops for added flair. You can also wear it over your favorite dresses for a polished ensemble."
$46 $37 at Amazon Give your wardrobe a little upgrade with a kitten heel that's "just the right blend of cute and comfortable," Venus recommends. "For all my ladies out there who want to rock heels without sacrificing comfort, these are the ones you need in your wardrobe. Whether you’re dressing up a pair of jeans for a night out or pairing them with a dress for a special occasion, these heels are very versatile."
