My current approach to shopping, especially for my own wardrobe, is to keep an eye out for chic pieces that are guaranteed to elevate any outfit. The way I see it, these pieces can easily boost my current outfit rotation without any heavy lifting on my end—anything to make getting ready faster and easier, the better. During a recent online shopping excursion, I was pleased to come across a stellar selection from some of my favorite retailers including Nordstrom, H&M, and Shopbop that fit the bill perfectly.
When going over my top picks, I noticed that most of them could be divided into six key pieces like straight-leg jeans, chic long coats, black flat shoes, and more. In fact, these pieces can be mixed and matched to create a variety of stylish head-to-toe fall and winter looks. Scroll on to peruse all 32 of my stylish finds, plus some outfit inspiration to guide how you can style each piece.
